A long interview done by Ha'aretz just before the results on last Sunday.

I'm sorry about the recent emphasis on French politics which is totally out of my usual focus, but don't worry, it'll be over by next Sunday. I have remnants of love for my country and its culture that I've been aware for a long time I'd have to let go. This election (or rather events around it, and what they tell about the hopeless state of the nation) is probably as good a time as ever to do so. I started writing a long, disillusioned rant about what France meant to my family and me, but I thought better of it and will spare you a bleak obituary.

Update (in French): Alexandre Adler: L'isolement croissant de la France.
