Le Pen is a despicable, chauvinistic Frenchman, and a blatant anti-Semite.

Even if so, would the French Jews be worse off if his program to limit Muslims immigration were in place years ago? Back than there was nobody else trying to do it.

[dervish]

If the Jewish voters had supported Le Pen, they would have been next, and would have been stuck with a powerful Le Pen and National Front party.

What you are describing is realist politics on a national level. It didn't work in the ME and it would backfire in France too.

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

Yeah, but for Le Pen this was juat a political expedient, and not born out of any genuine moral conviction.

It's hard to take anything he writes or says seriously.

He's the French equivalent of Vladimir Zhironovsky, or Pat Buchanan, and will say whatever he thinks will earn him the most publicity.
