"The Great Collapse" by Jean-David Benichou

by Jean-David Benichou, President, ElNet France  (Translated from original French)

The decision of the
Court of Cassation sinks the foundations of the French Republic.

The decision that concludes that the murderer of Sarah Halimi, a mother of 3 children, an exemplary citizen, in her sixties, murdered in the greatest violence, because she was Jewish, by a black Muslim, thirty years old, a multi-recidivist, idle, inveterate consumer of cannabis since the age of 16, on the grounds of an acute delirious crisis, alters the founding principles of our country , starting with the principle of equality.

Equality?

This promise that ornate the pediment of our institutions, it is that of the equality of all the citizens in face of the law. Why is this first principle threatened in its foundation? Well, because it is enough to consider a reverse scenario. A black mother, Muslim, exemplary, savagely murdered by a white Catholic in his thirties, often condemned, unemployed, drug addicted since his adolescence and who kills with the cry of "Jesus is our savior, I killed the Evil One". This horrible crime, which would have made millions of French people take to the streets in revolt against racial violence, committed in the name of a perverted faith, a crime with an odious colonial flavor, of a blond man on a brunette, of a Catholic on a Muslim woman, this crime, would it have left the choice to the supreme magistrates , to say that in law, well no, this murderer is not criminally responsible because he was a victim of an acute delirious state at the time of committing the act?

Everyone will make their own opinion, but it is plausible to believe that in such a case, facing the risk of the nation's conflagration, the judges would not have taken the decision to analyze the law restrictively. They would have, rightly, interpreted the law to make it conform to its essential objective of maintaining peace and civil order and would have said, logically, that the deliberate use of drugs cannot be a mitigating circumstance because it deliberately causes an alteration of the discernment, and that of course, this man must be judged for his crime and condemned by a popular jury.

Freedom?

There is only public freedom because there is an implacable justice that is imposed on all.

The right to life is inseparable from the condemnation of homicide. This was not the case for a long time when the law of the strongest prevailed and the weakest were exterminated.

Murder is even the only reason why the law has long given justice the right to condemn to the death penalty. Its abolition has been replaced by a very long period of deprivation of liberty, sometimes until the death of the condemned.

But when the perpetrator of an established anti-Semitic crime escapes judgment for a reason whose basis is hidden in the meanders of the law's unspoken words, when high magistrates lose themselves in the exegesis of the Letter to the detriment of the Spirit, then we witness the collapse of that other republican looter who bears the name of Freedom.

For how can we prohibit when we no longer sanction? How can we guarantee public liberties if we absolve the most despicable criminals of their responsibility? And above all, if drug use is now a mitigating circumstance, how many retrials can we expect?

Is that Fraternity?

Our country is going through its most serious identity crisis. The 55,000 cathedrals, churches and priorities of France are emptying, while the 3000 mosques are overflowing and the 300 synagogues are depopulating.

Instead, we carry in our hands digital temples that level the culture with stories, destroy the critical spirit, abolish the nuance and atrophy the curiosity. When science becomes a conspiracy and a conspiracy a revealed truth, when belief prevails over knowledge, is it any wonder that this Brotherhood explodes, that a man kills his neighbor because he sees at his place symbols contrary to his own faith, that a hysterical man beheads a professor and that a murderer is declared irresponsible because he was stoned during his crime?

What a tragedy to see the resurgence of obscurantism in the land of enlightenment.

President Emmanuel Macron reacted with celerity. Taking note of the judgment and its unbearable consequences, he asked the Minister of Justice to undertake without delaying a text to reform the legal status of criminal irresponsibility. It should be recalled in this look that on January 8, 2020, Senator Nathalie Goulet had already filed a bill in this sense ...

In the absence of bringing the family of the deceased a reparative trial, may this legislative change bear the name of Sarah Halimi so that we never forget that the ultimate objective of the law is to protect the weak and the minorities by depriving the strong and the majorities of any impunity.

For it is the determining condition for society to live in freedom, equality and fraternity and for the foundation of the Republic to remain solid."

A.D.L. exec, Greenblatt's smear to fire Tucker Carlson blows-back; Republican Jews call to fire HIM & return agency to battling anti-Semitism

Mark Levin calls to replace ADL boss for Democrat-
politicizing of the agency, which imperils Jewish people
Radio host, Mark Levin and Dov Hikind (founder of Americans Against anti-Semitism) came to the aid of Fox News host, Tucker Carlson, accusing A.D.L's Jonathan Greenblatt for repurposing the anti-Semitism-combating organization - to serve as hatchet-man for Democratic Party (and his former boss, ex-Pres. Barack Obama) whom Mr. Levin claims is anti-Semitic and anti-Israel.

Mr. Hikind exposed the situation in his video on the subject. "Ever since a member of the Obama administration, Jonathan Greenblatt took over as leader of the ADL, their stance on racism and anti-Semitism has been politicized. The latest example is Greenblatt's call to oust the highly popular, conservative voice, Tucker Carlson. His crime (according to Greenblatt)? Using the word "replacement" when describing Democratic efforts to shift the electorate in their favor. Yes, there is a white-supremacist conspiracy-theory called "the great replacement" but that's about minority-races replacing the white race. Tucker Carlson spoke about non-citizens being brought in large numbers so they dilute the voting power of all citizens regardless of color. 

Mr. Greenblatt's attack on Tucker is nothing but a politicized witch-hunt - meant to neutralize another prominent conservative."


Mr. Greenblatt appeared on CNN's "Reliable Sources" with Brian Stelter to allege Tucker Carlson's remarks about "replacement" theory were a dog-whistle to white supremacists. Greenblatt called for Carlson's firing in an ADL letter to Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott on April 9, 2021.

Transcript from Mark Levin radio program where he excoriates Greenblatt and calls for his dismissal: April 12, 2021

0:04  "So the head of the anti-Defamation League, who is a leftist, who served on the Obama White House staff - who was a disastrous appointee to that position - accused Tucker Carlson essentially of either being a white supremacist or repeating far- right, white supremacist language. They called for his immediate removal by Fox News. Immediate removal. So I feel compelled -  and he's not the only one. There's another group that came out to the piling- on it started. I don't know Tucker well. But I know a sleazy CEO at the anti-Defamation League when I see one.

0:55  What Tucker Carlson said about the Democrats trying to influence the demographics in this country so that they can create more Democrat voters is a fact - is a fact! And if Mr. Anti-Defamation League is worried about anti-Semitism, he should have looked at his former boss, Barack Obama, and the men he surrounded himself with - (Rashid) Khalidi, among others.

Mark Levin Show audio player

1:28  The most anti-Israel president in the history of the State of Israel. And I accused Obama, at the time, of being an anti-Semite more than once - and I still believe he is! The fact that secular Jews are self-hating Jews, in my humble opinion, back people who are hostile to the State of Israel and hostile to the Jewish community is a problem. Like the mayor of New York, targeting Orthodox Jews in Brooklyn. Like the governor of New York, targeting Orthodox Jews in Brooklyn. While Black Lives Matter, and Antifa, and other Marxist organizations are marching around (without masks)  attacking cops, attacking innocent civilians, burning, looting. While the Orthodox Jews are trying to have funerals and weddings, and celebrate various holidays - that should tell you all you need to know. So immediately this this buffoon, this lowlife, Brian Stelter, brings this clown Greenblatt on his program, when he further smears Tucker Carlson.

2:40  And so they try to bring all these parallels that aren't parallels at all. They aren't parallels at all. That Carlson's comments echo the "great replacement" of the largely white populations in the Western countries with non-white immigrants. You know, it's an amazing thing . . . the Democrats Obama used to say this (and others, Biden too)  that by 2044, thereabouts, white people will be the minority, whereas minorities will be in the majority collectively. They're the ones who keep talking about this.

3:20  There is no rational explanation for what's going on on the southern border. Except for the fact that the Democrats want more and more people to come into this country, eventually give them amnesty, legalization, citizenship, because I can assure you if people coming into this country were voting two-thirds or three-fourths Republican, they (the Democrats) would be the first to have a wall. The widest, tallest wall on the face of the earth.

3:50  Tucker Carlson is not talking about a "replacement theory" (a white supremacists' tenet, we're told) that "the white race is endangered by a rising tide of non-whites," writes  Greenblatt.  What we're talking about, Greenblatt, you left-wing kook, is what you're DOING!  Is what you are doing!  And if people actually point it out - if people actually mention it, then they must be part of the Klan. They must be part of the neo-nazi movement. Or they're just part of the "systemically white-racist" movement.

4:35  The vast majority of the American people oppose what's going on on the southern border today, including the vast majority of minorities, including the vast majority majority of Latino Americans living in these communities.  Including one of the congressman who represents one of these communities. Greenblatt doesn't live down there. His ass is in New York!

5:00  That's a fact. our immigration laws are being violated. What's going on in the southern border is inhumane at the hands of Joe Biden and his party. Little girls are being raped, drug kingpins are making a fortune. We've got more fentanyl crossing the border than any time in our history. Greenblatt doesn't talk about any of that, because it is Biden in the democrat party or mistreating around people. It is they are doing it and it's fine with his early racist past in the 1970s.

5:42  So they they try to, you see, they try to do their Alinsky tactics on a guy like Carlson. Because they truly are of that mindset - this neo-Marxist mindset I've been talking about. Target somebody, personalize it. And that's exactly what they're trying to do.

6:04  "How dare you speak up about what's going on on the southern border? How dare you speak up about what the Democrats are doing and what the media are doing? Brian Stelter never moved his fat ass to the (south border) southern border to see what's going on. He would never, never get out of a cafe in Manhattan to see what's going on.

6:31  Everybody knows Tucker Carlson is no Klansmen or white supremacist or neo-nazi. So you see the viciousness of the hard Left. And I am calling on the the Anti Defamation League to fire Jonathan Greenblatt!  He has brought his left-wing, kook, Obama politics to the Anti Defamation League! He's undermining their job - which is to call out true anti-Semitism! Not as some free-wheeling commentator for CNN and MSNBC. Absolutely outrageous!  

7:16  Meanwhile, Joe Biden actually doesn't even care what the hell is going on on the southern border, but this is what they do on the Left, you see? President (Trump) of the United States -  the most pro-Israel president since Israel has been in existence. Has (an Orthodox) Jewish daughter, son in law and grandchildren, and they paint HIM to be an anti-Semite! Who do you think this (Greenblatt) jerk voted for Biden, and Biden has actually surrounded himself with anti Semites!  Biden's policies with Iran and the Palestinians are all anti-Israel!  He's got one kook after another advising him. But this jerk Greenblatt doesn't say a word about that! Because they're HIS friends! This jerk Greenblatt sits on his mouth while the Iranians are running wild, getting support from the United States for the back door. This jerk says nothing while the Palestinians are going to get money without any obligation to not use it for terrorism! That's Greenblatt who needs to resign! Greenblatt!

8:29  And what's this other group? Hold on here, let me - there's so many left wing groups I'd say what's this other group here? Let's say (give me a second). Oh, then we get a write up from The Intelligencer, the national, New York Magazine - another crap, left wing magazine. Jonathan Chait - another a-hole, quite frankly. When Nazis marched in Charlottesville in 2017 they chanted, "You will not replace us." And some more clarifying Jews will not replace us."  The terrorists who gunned down . . . and he goes on. So in other words, Tucker Carlson is like the Nazis, and the Klansmen in Charlotte. Now this creep, Jonathan Chait knows that's not true. There's not any evidence whatsoever in  Carlson's background - nothing! Nothing. But this guy's a punk! He never speaks up against the anti-Israel policies of his OWN party! Tommy, did he demand the resignation of (Rep. Rashida) Talib? Did he demand the resignation of (Rep. Ilhan) Omar? Did he demand the resignation of (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez) A.O.C. and the other, anti-Semite Jew haters in the Democrat party? Not once! Not once!"

Dr. Charles Jacobs, president of Americans for Peace and Tolerance in Boston, discusses whether liberal, Jewish leaders affinity for the (now leftist-hijacked) Democratic Party (and enmity against "Trump'ers" and Republicans) inhibits them from seriously defending Jewish people against anti-Semitism from the Left - and among the Democratic Party. 



Dr. Jacobs references an occasion where he felt the A.D.L. he called-in, dropped-the-ball instead of challenging new anti-Jewish curriculum in a liberal, suburban Boston school district. He posits how the ADL, today under Mr. Greenblatt, endangers Jews by choosing to dwell on white-supremacist anti-Semitism while refraining from confronting Black and Muslim anti-Semitism. Dr. Jacobs joins the calls for Mr. Greenblatt to be replaced.
