Insights for 2017.
Michel Gurfinkiel’s twenty-one minutes interview with Talia Dekel of Tipping Point and IDC International Radio : discussing the woes of France, the new US administration’s role in shaping a changing world order, and the future of the French-Jewish community.
Some major insights :
– "France is a great nation and a great power but is undergoing a collective nervous breakdown".
– "The question is whether Trump will shape into a neo-Reaganian president and restore American world power. If the answer is yes, everything else is irrelevant."
– "France can be an important secondary power in the Middle East but cannot be the main mover there."
– "I am moderately optimistic about the evolution of the Arab world and of the Islamic world".
– "French Jews are pessimistic about their future in their home country. They experimented a revival since 1945 and cannot envision any regression to a near marrano status."
