Laurent Dispot defends the German language

Laurent Dispot, chief editor of the Philosophical magazine 'La Règle du Jeu', criticises the French Minister of Foreign Affairs, Bernard Kouchner, for recently saying that the expression 'real politick' is a 'violent Germanic term'. "German is the mother tongue of psychoanalysis and Zionism. The term 'Violent Germanic' is damaging to the memory of Thodor Herzl and and the infinite pleasure and honour of Sigmund Freud who, as a Jewish German received the Goethe award from the town of Frankfurt. ... 'I don't want my child learning that Nazi language' say parents who think themselves politically correct. It is up to the State, to Europe and to the Shoah Memorial Foundation to show the how wrong they are: this is the language of European Jews, no that of their destruction."
