French daily Le Figaro reports that the French President invited nine historians for a meal and a chat to the Elysée last week.
The journalist writes that Sarkozy, who has been accused (accusé [!]) of being pro-Israel, told his guest historians:
"Since Lawrence of Arabia nobody has found the way of liking the Arabs" (Difficult to translate: "Depuis Lawrence d'Arabie, on n'a pas su aimer les Arabes.")
One week before the (probable) United Nations declaration of a Palestinian State, Sarkozy said about his (ex-)"friend" Benjamin Netanyahu: "He is not the man of the situation."
He then make some nasty comments about the Americans.
With friends like these!
