The French of Israel worn Eric Zemmour at the top of the first round of the presidential election, Sunday, April 10, with 53.59% of the vote. It is an aberration with regard to the national vote (the far-right candidate obtained 7.07% of the vote), the case seems unique in the world. Emmanuel Macron comes second, with 31.72%, according to this first unofficial count. The French authorities have published first results for the main constituency of Tel Aviv, Tuesday, April 12. They wait for any remedies were examined by the Constitutional Council to publish the final results, Wednesday, as in other constituencies from abroad.

The lack of representativeness of this vote must be taken up, to which was barely more than 10% of this vast community (about 180,000 people and 59,000 registered), one of the largest outside Europe and North America. At 80% binational, Jewish leaving France to settle in Israel, many of them no longer wish to vote in their country of origin, or do not feel more legitimate. In 2017, the participation amounted to 14.5% barely, outside Jerusalem. Still, this result was long-standing, and that it weighs in the French Jewish community, that Mr. Zemmour has deeply divided.

Le Pen gets 3.3% of the votes

These voters have passed in addition to the rewrites of the history of the polemicist, who questioned the innocence of Captain Dreyfus, and who attempted to exempt the Vichy regime from his responsibility in the extermination of the Jews from France, during the Second World War. They suffered that he describes “foreigners above all” Jewish children killed in 2012 by Mohammed Merah in Toulouse, because their families had chosen to bury them in Israel.

They did not listen to the appeals of the representative Council of the Jewish institutions of France (CRIF) and the great rabbi of France, this “rabbi of court”, according to Mr. Zemmour, who asked the community not to vote for him. Among the dikes made by this Jewish candidate of Algerian origin, so there is this one: the French of Israel liberated a word and a vote of extreme right, they never accepted the ” Standardization “of Marine Le Pen.

Too much associated with his father and the National Front, former national gathering, the far-right candidate obtains 3.3% of the votes, just less than in 2017. It doubts a massive postponement in his Favor in the second round, from a community that voted in 2017 at 60% for François Fillon (Republicans), then more than 90% for Mr. Macron in the second round.
