Bizarro world: Le Pen’s nationalist daughter (correctly) lectures Israel on minority rights

I was among the American Jews who got chills about Jean-Marie Le Pen’s nationalist resurgence in France. Well, his daughter is about to take over the National Front in France. Her name’s Marine Le Pen. Haaretz interviewed her:

Q Rabbis in Israel have published a declaration calling on Jews not to rent apartments to Arabs. Do you identify with that?

A: “Those Arabs are Israeli, aren’t they? And in that case, they should be treated the same way as all the citizens. The country must decide if it is granting citizenship to its inhabitants or not, but from the moment it has done so, they must be treated equally.”
