1. RICHARD'S INTERPRETATION
Connie Mack ,   CAMDEN   (06.16.15)
HERE IS AN UNEDITED QUOTE FROM YNET: Meirav Crystal Published: 06.03.15, 21:18 / Israel Business “The chief executive officer of French mobile phone giant Orange said Wednesday he would end his company's relationship with the Israeli operator that pays to use its name "tomorrow" if he could, but that to do so would be a "huge risk" in terms of penalties. Speaking at a news conference in Cairo laying out the company's plans for the years ahead in Egypt, Stephane Richard said his company's intention is to withdraw the Orange brand from Israel as soon as possible, but that the move would take time. "I am ready to abandon this tomorrow morning but the point is that I want to secure the legal risk for the company. I want to terminate this, once again, but I don't want to expose Orange to a level of risk and of penalties that could be really sizable for the company," he said. Mr. Richard is not a moron and should not be accused of deficient intelligence. That is a legal defense that he does not deserve. He might be a native Frenchman If so, we must sympathize with the tremendous pressure he endures to despise Jews in general and Israel in particular. Nevertheless, I beg journalists to ask him what he meant by the words “he would end his company's relationship with the Israeli operator that pays to use its name "tomorrow" if he could.” Did he not say “today” because he loves, honors and cherishes Israel as a member of the Family of Nations? How was his announcement misunderstood or taken out of context? Perhaps what he meant by his lame justification was “I did not realize that Jews and Israelis would (over)hear my public remarks.” If there is a Mrs. Richard, I wonder how she reacts to such verbal calisthenics. In all fairness, let us keep her out of it and not ask her to comment. cm
