Welcome to the New Europe, same as the Old Europe.
“Israeli fans in France greeted with Palestinian flags, Israeli flags banned,” Jerusalem Post, August 26, 2016:
After much talk over the high security risks at Thursday nights Europa League soccer match between St. Etienne and Beitar Jerusalem in France Beitar supporters arrived to the stadium to find they were not allowed to enter with Israeli flags, Israeli sports news website One reported.
The fans were then greeted with not only French flags but Palestinian flags as well, marking the second time in as many weeks that an Israeli soccer team was greeted abroad with Palestinian flags.
Ahead of the game authorities were preparing for a high risk of violence, according to French media.
There was a ban on the sale and consumption of alcohol within a safety zone around the Geoffroy-Guichard stadium as well as a ban of pyrotechnics around the venue.
Security measures had been stepped up ahead of the Europa League soccer match between St. Etienne and Beitar Jerusalem in France on Thursday.
Pro-Palestinian activists have called for a rally outside of St. Etienne’s City Hall, using the Israeli team’s presence as an opportunity to protest Israeli policies….

linnte says
Islam having its way once again. Shame on France!
Scott says
The French will appease until someone else saves them. No one however who actually has a chance do that from the outside is in sight. They’ll figure out a way yet again to marginalize Le Pen next election. Just wait and watch.
Debbie says
The Israelis should refuse to play under another flag.
Richard Paulsen says
Hating such I think France should be brought to the Hague Court for crimes against humanity.
Allan Mandrowski says
The same court that the USA will never stand in front of for the crimes it committed against humanity by bombing Serbs and all the other illegal wars.
Richard Paulsen says
” There are plenty of islamophobes in Europe, ” – as President Bill Clinton said. Hated that.
Dom107 says
The brainlessness of France is only surpassed by that of Germany and Sweden.Like the world found with Hitler the more you pander to aggressive forces the more you encourage them
It seems France hasnt had enough terrorism !!
We will seem more of it and no doubt the country will go into mourning again and the French President will say gravely for the fourth time WE ARE AT WAR !! and then do precisely “Diddly Squat” !
Jay Boo says
JMHO
Excellent points throughout Dom107
If only you had not ruined it all by ending on such a defeatist note.
BC says
Your comments and the comments of the other unthinking and brainless people here re France and French people, is the equivalent of me saying every American is behind Obama, or all Americans support Hellary
Isabella says
A friend just returned from a trip to France. The tour organizers told her that tourism around the Nice area is down 50%.
Mike says
This gives me an idea for a new Peace Proposal:
France annexes Gaza, granting citizenship to all residents at the same time.
It’s a win all around:
1) France gets an instant population boost of 2 MM Muslim Arabs, increasing diversity in France, with a lot less hassle than they currently have to go through to bring in such a large number. As an added bonus, this is a significantly more educated population than the average new “immigrant” to France these days, i.e., they will integrate better.
2) Hamas can form the core of an Islamist party in France and move on to bigger and better things. The French will welcome that as diversity.
3) The people of Gaza have mobility options in the EU. Many will take advantage of it.
4) Israel gets a semi-stable neighbour (for now), though at the price of something that might be harder to manage in 20-30 years. Still, that’s a long time, so it’s worth considering.
5) Egypt can now get rid of anyone it doesn’t like by pushing them across the border to make them claim “refugee” status. It’s a *huge* win for the Egyptians.
6) With a high speed train, French Jews could now commute from France to Tel Aviv in under 1/2 hour!
It’s a win-win-win!
GAZA TO FRANCE!
Scott says
The only problem with your concept is there rockets can’t reach that far….. But then, maybe the French would give them good guidance systems and bigger boosters. Marseille would be then within easy reach.
Keith says
What a brilliant idea. I am glad that we in the UK have just voted to leave the EU. So can the hand over of Gaza to the French wait until after we have finally left?
mortimer says
Liberté? Egalité? Fraternité?
Not in France. “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”
All HAIL! The noble savages who have more rights than ‘others’ ! All HAIL!
It isn’t fascism when the French Leftists do it.
Scott says
No, it’s then called Communism. That’s what Orwell’s “Animal Farm” that you quoted was all about.
CogitoErgoSum says
It’s about pigs who rule others through terror and deception …. could apply to various ideologies.
Western Canadian says
Communism was a fascist government….
Larry says
Fascism was a socialist movement and ideology, as explicitly stated by both Mussolini and Hitler.
Jay Boo says
Why nit pick, Larry?
Isn’t Communism just an extreme type of Socialism?
Will Doohan says
The difference between Fascism and Communism is that under Fascism people retain the ownership of their property but the government tells them what they can and cannot do with it,; under Socialism or Communism the government seizes control outright. (This is Ayn Rand’s explanation)

The same scenario as when Hollande won.

The French have always been anti-Semites.
Israel should boycott football clubs which treat Israeli fans this way.
Jay Boo says
Mirren10 says
“The French have always been anti-Semites”
Unlike the Germans or the Royal family’s pro-Hitler British leadership.
Mirren10 says
And your point is ?
Jay Boo says
My point M10 is you have no point.
Maybe a specific example (Vichy) would have helped.
Instead you offer a didactic broad brush insult of all French.
Should we take your word for this?
That is so lazy.
Mirren10 says
What a silly twat you are.
I notice you haven’t accused anyone else on this thread of ”a didactic broad brush insult of all French.”
But that’s because I pointed out on another thread not only are you advocating sharia style banning of Santa and the Easter Bunny, but you several times defended Anders Breivik, as well as declaiming ”islam is not 100% bad”.
🙂
Jay Boo says
Actually I criticized judith grayson who said even worse,
“every frenchperson would have had their head shaved”
Your comment showed some level of rational thinking ability unlike hers so I chose not to call you a ding bat as I did with Judith.
No need to thank me.
Mirren10 says
”Your comment showed some level of rational thinking ability … ”
Such a shame yours don’t. 🙂
Mirren10 says
” … the Royal family’s pro-Hitler British leadership.”
My, my ! A ‘didactic broad brush insult’ of all the Royal Family, *and* British leadership. 🙂

Jay Boo says
Anti French Anglo-Saxon hatred may have contributed to the obscene chumminess of some British Royals with the German Nazi Regime and of the British government’s efforts to appease Hitler under Chamberlain.
Here is a reference.
No offence meant to the future Queen, whom I admire, for she was just a child at the time and knew no better.

But that means that Israeli clubs can´t take part in European football. It would be much better for the UEFA to ban the European clubs which tet their fans act this way from international football. But the UEFA is as cowardly as the Olympic Commitee was in Rio.
Mirren10 says
All true, andra.
SpiritOf1683 says
The French betrayed their Jews even without the Nazis asking them to do so during World War II.
Isabella says
You should substantiate your statement with examples.

The only way that Israel will ever stop this cancer is to buy them out and throw them out. Annex Judea and Samaria just before the end of Obama’s term. When there’s nothing he can do about it and HRC will be caught with her “depends” down. If Trump could pull off a miracle, he’d congratulate Israel for showing the way on “how to win”……
This needs to be done and the sooner the better.
Pong says
Unfortunatly, it doesn’t look good for Trump. American SMS is corrupt and works very hard to get clinton into WH.
Americans as a nation have finished and hilary will bring millions of moslems to divide the country even more. Mexicans, negros, women and young uninformed voters moving america to the point of no return.
There will be more revelations about hilary’s corruption and over crimes before the election day, but it will not matter, msm will cover for her and those like BLM will vote for her regardless of any crime she has commited.
dumbledoresarmy says
Defeatism and despair. Busy invoking and feeding Dementors.
“Americans as a nation have finished…”. Really? Really? With ACT for America going from strength to strength? With the numbers of people who *are* turning up to support Trump, despite *everything* that has been hurled at him from the beginning?
Are you doing anything to *assist* Trump?
To back him up?
Contributing to his campaign? (Assuming that you are American; if not, then the least you can do is to refrain from peddling – indeed, pushing – defeatism in an American forum hosted by an American citizen).
roxy says
I guess France gets what it deserves. It is crazy to me that Muslims have slaughtered numerous French people, and continue to terrorize the country, but Israel/Jews are the problem??? In a common sense world, the Pali flag and all expressions of Islamic conquest would be banned in a country that has suffered so much as a result of the religion of peace. Violence works. Jews and Israel are easy victims since there will be no planes crashed into buildings, nightclubs attacked or heads removed from bodies when Jews and Israel are attacked.
Gen 12:3
Dan says
If after all the CRAP France has gone through with Muslims, they still side with/believe the Palestinian/Muslim side of things…
Then France deserves every thing it gets.
Sayanora, Frenchie
SpiritOf1683 says
Message to frenchies: It is your home grown Muslims who carried out atrocities like Paris and Nice, not Israelis. Youi can burn a million Israeli flags if you wish, but you won’t prevent one single atrocity in your country by doing so.

Jews are leaving France. Soon there will be no jews in France. Fortunatly, this time they have a country, which will welcome them and they will bring their culture, education and children to the new, but their own country.
France will have their moslems and in a short time everything French will be only in history books. What we are looking now is the funeral of French nation. Moslems will find a new name for the country and it will be in arabic. Not a nice thought, but it is a reality we face.
Isabella says
I am afraid that it is going to be the way you describe it.
Wellington says
My comment here is very specific, to wit, that the two Western Hemispheric countries that have traditionally shown they are extraordinary nations, America and Canada (sadly, there are no others in the Western Hemisphere that could be accurately described this way though there should be), are now led by the same kind of overeducated fools that one can find in huge amounts in France and many other Western European nations, examples being May, Hollande, Merkel and the doofus who presently is the head of Vatican City, technically the smallest nation on earth.
So, it’s not just a matter of Israeli flags being banned in France, now is it? No, not at all. Never mind that Israel is in the forefront of protecting the most productive and enlightened civilization in history, i.e., Western Civilization, or that it provides far more liberty to Israeli-Arabs than any of the over twenty Arab nations do. Yes, never mind these “technical” points. Rather mind the importance of liberty in toto, the sorry-ass record that Muslims have on this matter of liberty, and how the present Western leadership (there’s an oxymoron for you) is just about the sorriest ass excuse for leadership in all of history.
The first name that comes to mind about said “leadership” begins with an “O.” Hint: he’s not from France. Which hint in and of itself reveals the exceedingly sad state of the West these days since a complete fool is leader of the most powerful nation on earth——–well then, there is real trouble ahead, now isn’t there?
This Israeli flag “stuff” is just the tip of a monstrous metaphorical iceberg. Count on it. Oh yeah, much ice ahead. Colossal amounts. Can not only sink a ship but a nation—–or maybe twelve or so.
Lynette says
Well said. I and others quite agree with your thoughts. Israeli’s Flag should have been flown and should have been the largest! Israel does not perform atrocities as the norm, nor do they use their own children and people as human shields, nor do they dig miles of tunnels to invade and murder people while they sleep, nor do they use hospitals, schools etc as sites to keep their arsenal of bombs, guns, rockets etc, nor do they print and alter maps to show that a country which has existed for 1000’s of years does not exist, nor do they destroy historic buildings and heritage sites, nor do they turn their own country into mounds of rubble, nor do they turn their own people into burnt, maimed and murdered bodies, nor do they use their children as suicide bombers of innocent civilians, nor do they use their own people as collateral!!! Shame on the evil brainwashed palestinians who do. Nor do Israeli’s follow an insane, sadistic and evil paedophile and think that that person, muhamaad is the perfect man!!

Thank you for this EXCELLENT POST!

Thank you Lynette.

France: Israeli soccer fans greeted with Palestinian flags, Israeli flags banned
………………………
Well, this is simply grotesque. If organizers were *really* concerned about violence, they would not have allowed supremacist “Palestinian” flags.
Antisemitism in action.

Lâcheté votre nom est France
David says
Can this situation with Muslim appeasement get any more REDICULOUS?
What’s next? Jews being greeted with the NAZI symbol?
Why is everyone in such a huge rush to bend over and grab their ankles? Just to please these F ing SAVAGES?????????
I’m a disabled Senior Citizen. And I will start packing a Colt 1911 A1 long before I’m willingly going to start kissing their brown, muslim rumps!
NO! I’m not being racist OR islamophobic. Just realistic and HONEST!
stevo-k says
are the French retards? a ban on alcohol at the game? muslims don’t need alcohol to act like complete savages, especially when it comes to jews! sheeesh!
Jay Boo says
A ban on alcohol at any game is — always a good thing.
The last thing needed at a game is loud mouth idiots who have easy access to alcohol.
Doing it to appease Muslims would be the wrong thing.
Sandra says
This is not in the cause of cultural diversity. They are afraid of the Muslims and are treating them as if they are mad dogs. They don’t want to give them cause to attack. This will eventually lead to violence on both sides.
