More than anyone else, Jean-Marie Le Pen, a real not a putative fascist, a defender of Petain, a dismisser of the German murders of Jews as a mere “detail” of World War II, has — because of all that he is, and he is that all even more today — made France safe for Islam, has prevented the warnings early on of such early worriers as Jacques Ellul from being heard. Now he’s at it again, and his presence, and his remarks (his “derapages”) are damaging the electoral hopes of the party whose leaders are sick of him, and the one who is most sick of him, furious with him, is his daughter Marine Le Pen.

Marine Le Pen has been careful to dissociate herself from anti-Semitism, but her party takes money from Putin’s Russia, and I suspect that should the FN win, that they will pursue a foreign policy similar to Russia’s: A tough stance against domestic Islamic radicals but help for Islamic power centers like Iran and the Shiite Axis abroad. I also suspect that pro-Israeli and pro-Jewish people like Wilders would be atypical should parties like the FN prevail. The right has their identity and national loyalty, and they will look out for themselves, only themselves.
