a Liberal Senator asked "Yves, are you still a separatist?" I said, I am as much a separatist as you are Jewish. It's taken 2000 years for your People to have your homeland in Israel. So, I don't mind waiting for a further 10, 50 or 100 years. answered, well it is not same thing. So I said: It is not the same? The Armenians did not suffer, the Palestinians do not suffer, the Rwandans do not suffer. It's always just you. You are the only people who suffered in the history of humanity.
After that, I was fed up. And here we are, I am completely indignant... that some suggested to rename the metro station Lionel Groulx, who was the spiritual father of two generations of Quebecers and is almost a Quebec idol. It's the B'nai B'rith that did that, which was the extremist phalange... That's world Zionism going on here....
In contrast to these exchanges, during this period, he also cited Lionel Groulx who ironically -having written himself antisemitic statements under various pennanmes- exhorted French-Canadians to emulate the Jewish People in their fierce will for survival, their spirit of solidarity and their unassailable moral core. Or in the original French, "«âpre volonté de survivance», de l’«invincible esprit de solidarité» et de l’«impérissable armature morale» du peuple juif."

Famous quotes containing the word quotations:
“A book that furnishes no quotations is, me judice, no book—it is a plaything.”
—Thomas Love Peacock (1785–1866)
“Reading any collection of a man’s quotations is like eating the ingredients that go into a stew instead of cooking them together in the pot. You eat all the carrots, then all the potatoes, then the meat. You won’t go away hungry, but it’s not quite satisfying. Only a biography, or autobiography, gives you the hot meal.”
—Christopher Buckley, U.S. author. A review of three books of quotations from Newt Gingrich. “Newtie’s Greatest Hits,” The New York Times Book Review (March 12, 1995)
