Carla Bruni 'Crazy about Israel' ahead of Tel Aviv Show

W460

France's former first lady Carla Bruni declared herself "crazy about Israel" and talked about Jewish family ties in an interview published by an Israeli daily on Friday.

Ahead of a May 25 concert in Tel Aviv, the singer, guitarist and former model told the Hebrew-language Yediot Aharonot that she hoped to bring both her husband, former president Nicolas Sarkozy, and her son Aurelien with her.

Italian-born Bruni, 46, told the newspaper that her father was Jewish and that while Sarkozy had a Jewish grandfather he also has a Jewish grandson, Solal, through his son Jean's 2008 marriage to Jewish heiress Jessica Sebaoun.

"Jean married Jessica, who is Jewish and is the only observant one in her family," she said.

Aurelien was born in 2001 from her relationship with philosopher Raphael Enthoven, and both circumcised and baptized, she added.

"His father is Jewish and I give him the gift of both heritages," she told Yediot Aharonot.

Bruni said that she had visited Israel twice before; once as a model and once with her husband on a state visit.

"I'm crazy about Israel," she said. "It's full of life."

"Maybe if my husband comes we'll stay for a couple of days more. I want to bring my son to Israel for him to get to know it."

I feel sorry for people who feel a sense of pride and gratitude for being tied or related to a Jew. Just remember that Jews rejected our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ and crucified him according to the scriptures. The Jews will burn in the lake of fire for rejecting Christ as the savour and Messiah. According to the New Testament Christ is the only way to the Father. The Jews are heathens and should not be looked upon highly just because they control the banking/monetary system. Evil, scum and cancer of society is such race. They pit non-Jews against one another to achieve their objectives. You need just look at the Twin Tower bombings...not one of the 3000 killed were Jews. Naharnet, many thanks for raise awareness amongst such people. Oh and above all all the western intelligence agencies have been infiltrated by such scum.
