Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was originally not scheduled to attend the Paris “solidarity” march, and only announced he was going after Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman revealed he was going as well, not wanting to let a high-profile visit pass ahead of the March elections.
But Netanyahu wasn’t a welcome guest, and French President Francois Hollande explicitly asked him not to come, concerned he would make the whole visit about Israel and the Palestinians. When Netanyahu insisted he was coming anyhow, Hollande made a point to publicize his invitation to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
The Hollande government was working on a UN resolution trying to kickstart peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians, and Netanyahu has loudly opposed it. Predictably, Netanyahu and other Israeli officials visiting France today urged French Jews to leave the country for Israel, arguing France isn’t safe.
That’s been a long-standing policy of the Israeli right, which believes it needs major Jewish immigration to sustain a majority, and has regularly targeted France as the nation with the largest Jewish population in the world, outside of Israel and the United States. With Hollande desperate to portray himself as having the security situation in order, it’s understandable that he wouldn’t want Netanyahu, et al. trying to drum up emigration.
……."dont let any crises go in waste"…/popular Israels motto/.
Its clear, that most arrogant terrorist in our times will use this "false flag" to another propaganda about poor Israel / régime with the biggest and illegal undeclared arsenal of WMD on head and sqare km/, régime we can say is birtplace of modern day terrorism /Lavon, King David hotel, Liberty etc -. list is long and covered with blood of innocence to this very day/.
France will probably not vote any more for Palestine independence – warning was clear!!!
United people against terrorism – I aggree!!! But what is behind these events "United crowd of sheep people" is not able to see…….its scary….lets hope Russia, China and others refusing US/ Israel dictate will willl became even more United then before – fort benefit of HUMAN LIFE!!!!!pedro
Its all about your foreign policy Francois.
In stark contradiction to the theme of unity Bibi cropped Abbas out of the stock press photograph of the march.

Additionally the families of the four Jews killed in the supermarket have been enticed to bury their dead in Israel. One has to wonder if the burial is free and comes with a free vacation. This signal to French patriots that Jews have a dual loyalty and that the senior one is not to France is an overt incitement of antisemitism.

Zionism has always promoted antisemitism from its alliance with Hitler in the early 1930s documented by historian Lenni Brenner in his ground breaking Zionism in the Age of the Dictators to the bombing of synagogues in Iraq and Egypt in the early 1950s. The theory is that if Jews cannot be lured to Israel they can be terrorized into making aliyah
Hollande should have known that he would have had better luck asking poor relatives not to show-up for a free "All-you-eat-and -drink" buffet. This was an opportunity, that by attending, Netanyahou could turn into a "Defend Zionism and attack Islam" celebration.
