The Israel's Image Problem

In France and in Europe Zionism is very weak. All around Europe neo-nazi parties are growing. In France at the last european elections won the extreme right party lead by Mare Le Pen , who is , according to Shlomo Malka, anti-semitic and racist.
This was the main topic of Shlomo Malka speech, producer of a Jewish radio show in France, that was during the first Jewish Media Summit that took place in Jerusalem on 25 June 2014. His speech was inside the panel Israel's Image problem.
The jewish presence in Europe is very weak so there aren't enough reppresentatives of our identity. Instead there are many muslim and their authority is heard and known. This brings confusion to the europeans between jews and arabs.Bad thing because actually one of the biggest problems of Europe is the immigration from arab countries such as Tunisia, Libia and Algeria so the parties who are against hosting clandestine immigrants become also antisemitic because they don't understand the differences of those 2 people.
In France this phenomenon is much bigger because muslims are much more concentrated there, so there are bigger conflicts between Arabs and extreme right authorities.
In Europe there is a foreign politic very leftist and pro-palestinian because most of the countries especially Italy depend on Arab petrol and Russian gas on their energy need. So many governments such as Berlusconi's one had to be friendly to Putin or Gheddafi in order to get their primary resourses. Because of that Israel's image is becoming worst only because if anti Semitism but also because our dependence on antisemitic countries.
So if we become energy independent our governments could show openly their friendship with Israel.
