Better to shun and demonize Israel than to protect citizens from jihad mass murder.
“France refused Israeli tech that could have foiled Paris attacks – security expert,” RT, April 26, 2016:
French intelligence reportedly rejected an offer to purchase terrorist-scanning and tracking software from an Israeli company that could have helped to prevent the November 2015 attacks in Paris, a security expert has said.
Certain “data-mining technology” which would have helped the Paris authorities to “connect all the dots” in the terrorist community was offered to the General Directorate for Internal Security (DGSI), according to an Israeli counter-terror specialist familiar with the technology and the company, in comments to Fox News.
The DGSI is a French intelligence agency that specializes in counter-espionage, counter-terrorism and countering cybercrime. It also tracks potentially threatening groups.
“French authorities liked it, but the official came back and said there was a higher-level instruction not to buy Israeli technology… The discussion just stopped,” said the security specialist, who gave the interview on condition of anonymity.
The expert did not reveal the name of the company and the details of the technology, but said that the software can scan databases from various agencies, including Interpol, and detects “high-risk” people.
The technology was reportedly offered right after the Charlie Hebdo shootings in January 2015, prior to the Paris attacks in November that killed 130 people. The expert believes that such technology could have prevented the deadly attacks in the French capital, and may even have been able to allow the Brussels bombings of March 2016 to be foiled.
“Government agencies struggling to foil terror attacks need access to technologies that allow them to connect their data fragments, making it possible to handle daily data challenges,” the expert said. “With this system, all data can then be easily navigated, processed and represented by employing a set of powerful analytic tools and unique algorithms.”
EU officials, however, later told Fox News that there is no ban in the European Union on purchasing Israeli products….

French officialdom, like EU officialdom, is very pro-Palestinian. Fine, then they should have asked the PA for the software.
Bonnie Prince Charlie says
What can the PA provide apart from incitement to hate and murder – and bomb-making skills, of course?
Dwight says
Incredible that so many condemn a freedom loving people and support a blatantly terrorist entity like Hamas. And make the hypocritical stretch that it is because of the “occupation”. If the Arabs and Iranians had not tried to destroy and slaughter every Jewish man, woman and child when the United Nations created Israel these settlements would never have been. But when your neighbors are intent on slaughtering even your children what do you expect! The Palestinians could have had peace and their own nation long ago ( especially with the billions $ poured in from the hated Christian West – especially the great Satan (US). Truly disgusting what the politically correct western socialists have created – hatred, violence, murder and terrorism.

Great comment, except the UN did not create Israel, it ratified the Israeli declaration of independence.

@ Mickey Oberman
“So French anti Semitism resulted in many avoidable deaths.
No further comment.”
Yep. You were much more gracious in your comment than I was going to be.

The French are reaping the jihad that they sowed by allowing millions of Muslims to immigrate into their country. Unfortunately, the USA and Canada are headed down the same path, unles we elect Trump in November. Shillary, Obama, Bernie, and most Democrats won’t even say the phrases Islamic Jihad or Muslim terrorist.
James Davis says
It’s really sad,that an advanced, & respected Nation, The likes of
France, would overlook the well experienced,& brilliant, Israeli Intelligent Service, & allow 150 of
her citizens, to be slaughtered, by a bunch of moronic, cruel, satanic, & murderous “Sand N*****S”, or is it “Diaper Head’s”? GOD BLESS ISRAEL! They’ve alway’s been my HERO’S!!
Ex-muslim says
Israel is the best country that knows how to deal with islamic jihadists.
May God bless Israel! Long Live Israel…
Bob says
In short, AMEN!!!
islam :- the religion of killers says
The Israelies should give the software away considering they are the ultimate target of the muslims …
they should use their brains and make the software “without borders” especially since they are using data from other countries …
Money gets in the way of everything

Political correctness ends lives.

And when the very survival of your nation (Israel) is on the line every moment of every day you will develop the worlds best counter-terrorism technology possible.It is a necessity, not an option. The “Iron Dome” missile protection system worlds best.is the worlds best. Oh foolish PC Europe, how many more attacks will you need to suffer before you see sense.
Also, it would not surprise me if the European intelligence agencies still have instructions from the highest levels about not targeting or profiling Muslims.
Anne Smith says
Yet another good reason for UK to get out of the politically correct and corrupt EU

And, unhappily, nations!

Not PC, the EuroArab Dialogue.

Fools blinded by cultural Marxist political correctness.
The arrogant and absurd Marxist legacy of failure goes on.

Should we whack ’em Morti, or just slap their bottoms?

We have an expression in Hebrew. “לא רוצה, לא צריך” (Transliterated: Lo rotze, lo tzarich.)
It’s a short, punchy way of saying “Don’t want [something being offered]? Don’t need [to take me up on my offer]!” and the refusal is pretty much always to the person’s detriment.
That sums up how I feel about it, as an Israeli. You didn’t want it? Well… you didn’t take it. And here is your consequence.
Angemon says
Are there muslims in the higher echelons of the French government?
Robert_K says
Sort of reminds me of the WWII joke: “Why are French boulevards lined with trees? Because the Germans like shade.
Peggy says
French citizens should demand an explanation from their government and if they won’t offer any they would protest until the government either talks or is removed. They’ve had blood on their hands for a very long time but this is on another level.

Remember that France is the country whose former ambassador to the UK felt called upon to share this view of world politics:
JMB says
Israel, the only nation in the Middle East/North which has anything resembling a parliamentary democracy and rule of law. A technologically advanced country with a developed infrastructure, a place where you can eat the food and drink the water.
OK, eliminate this small brave nation and the Arabs will have no common enemy, they will just get into even more deadlier wars along sectarian and dynasty lines. Yes, they will probably not wipe themselves out completely and will have very little to do with any possible WW3, but we in the West may foolishly continue to take sides.
JMB says
Should have read “North Africa” (Above)
Joeb says
I fully expect to see the following headline in the future:
“France (or insert western country of choice) refused Israeli tech that could have cured cancer”
JMB says
You are possibly quite correct. Since the end of apartheid and the now general acceptance of LGBT rights the loopy left is now looking for a new “cause celebre” , Unfortunately I think is will be Boycott Israel, trade, tourism & technology.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
French authorities liked it, but the official came back and said there was a higher-level instruction not to buy Israeli technology… The discussion just stopped.
When in denial, it must be total. Whey laying blame, it must all be assigned to the imagined bad guy. When it comes to modern international relations, it’s got to where Israel has cooties, to use a children’s term. And just as mature.
Florida Jim says
I’ll bet bet the families of those murdered in Paris wish they had an honest politically incorrect-free government and not the stooges who are raping them and America. We need a muslim-free world they are not fit to live with anyone as they have proven over and over. Here are examples;

Rendering “French intelligence” an oxymoron …
SpiritOf1683 says
So over 130 people were murdered in cold blood just to uphold France’s antisemitic traditions. Old habits die hard there. They were only too eager to betray their Jews 75 years ago, then after World War II, import the types who would carry out the Bataclan atrocity last year, and will no doubt carry out future atrocities, with many more innocents dying on the altar of satisfying the antisemitic tendencies of those in charge.

Brussels airport security also known to be woefully outdated and they get attacked as well. France will be attacked again and are attacked daily by way of subversion and over breeding parasites (as is all of Europe). Anyone worth their salt understands these tactics as laid out by Sun Tzu in his ‘art of war’. If you live in Europe and read these posts you’d better get with it because your policy right now is to aid and abed the enemy as laid out by your rulers. Our servant Hussein’s policy is the same here in the US. Fortunately for us we have A LOT of fire power and the right to use it. If we see it coming they’ll lose every time which I believe is the point of this article. America IS still much different than the rest of the world and you all better pray it stays that way. Listen to THE authority on anti terrorism and you’d do better its ok to be racist or called it even if your not….jihadi islamodickheads are as defined by islam ,racist’. I’ve enough dealings in the world to know it for sure. Forget ‘perspective’ they like it when we die period.

I had the good fortune to be invited to a united state Marine corp graduation ceremony (MCRD SD) and what and honor and spectacle that was! I’ll never forget whole experience including the Marines searching every vehicle, having each person get out of the vehicle including hotel shuttles. They ARE NOT playing games, while dogs and armed men search vehicles top to bottom for 15 minutes you wait in a cordoned off area while armed Marines scope you out rifles in hand (barralls obviously pointed down).
Our airports will be this way soon if this crap keeps up where you won’t be let on airport grounds until you and your vehicle is searched. I can see mandatory shuttle rides enforced as well from the entrance of long term parking where your vehicle will be searched as well before going around the horn to pick someone up. How about armed soldiers in the street just like Isreal? If we pretend they have no agenda and ignore the fact that we do indeed have an identity and a great place to prosper that is exactly what will happen. If you need evidence visit DC and the state Capitol building or white house.
