ABSTRACT
Weeks and months have passed since General de Gaulle's Press Conference without making it any less actual. The President of the Republic's remarks continues to agitate 'the bruised hearts of our Israelite friends', as Father Riquet has written. The expression 'more or less justifiable' to qualify the acquisition of territory offended the Israelis; it settles, in favour of the Arabs, one of the issues that has been argued over in vain for many years. The author feel less remote from an anti-semitic Frenchman than the author do from a Jew from Southern Morocco who speaks only Arabic and who has only just emerged from what seems to him like the Middle Ages or rather the impenetrable darkness of a radically alien culture. A little further on, a correction of General de Gaulle by himself betrays if not the sentiments of the speaker then at least the intentions of the politician.
