France’s Defense Minister, Michele Alliot-Marie (who is a woman), tells the US it should be listening more to the Arab-Muslim world and its overwhelming sense of humiliation: French Minister Blasts Certain U.S. Ideas.

Outlining the views of France, she said while terrorism is a great threat, its causes must be addressed, which she identified as “the sense of frustration in the face of injustice and poverty.”

“The humiliation is exploited by fanatics,” Alliot-Marie said, while urging “let us work together to eradicate blind violence, but also its roots.”

France is neither anti-Semitic nor anti-Israel, the defense minister said, while implicitly holding Israel accountable. “We should be listening more to the Arab-Muslim world,” she said.

“The sense of injustice and humiliation is really very widespread,” she said.

“Implicitly holding Israel accountable?” Something tells me there’s more to Alliot-Marie’s remarks than is being reported here by the AP.
