France’s leader Macron has criticized Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, an issue that is sure to loom large in the upcoming Netanyahu visit. Macron issued this statement:
France does not approve the US decision. France supports the Two-State Solution, Israel and Palestine, living in peace and security, with Jerusalem as the capital of both States.
We must prefer appeasement and dialogue
Some protestors were holding signs reading “Boycott Israel” and “Free Palestine.” Others held banners saying that US President Donald Trump and Netanyahu “follow Nazi steps
“Free Palestine” from what? That is the question that the world needs to be asking. “Palestine” is the historic Ottoman South Syria. The Muslim Arabs have no historic claim to that land. On the other hand, the tiny state of Israel has proven ancient ties to the land, and has been victimized and targeted by jihadists and jihadist states from the day of its birth in 1948. It still is. The PA, Fatah and Hamas Charters call for its obliteration, while Iran and Hezbollah remain committed to the same. As reported by Robert Spencer at Breitbart:
Like so much Palestinian outrage, it is not based on fact, but on propaganda. The Palestinians claim an ethnicity and nationality that has no basis in history but which was concocted by Yasir Arafat and the KGB as a weapon to use against Israel, have a “capital” as fictional as they are.
Meanwhile, PA leader Mahmoud Abbas says not one Jew will live in a Palestinian state, while Palestinians live and work in Israel, thus demonstrating which state is really practicing apartheid.
Emmanuel Macron dreams on about a two-state solution without realizing the fact that the Palestinians have been seeking a one-state solution since 1948.
Slogans and signs should read: Free Israel and the rest of the world from menacing jihadists.
“Massive Pro-Palestinian protest held in Paris ahead of Netanyahu’s visit (WATCH LIVE)”, RT News, December 9, 2017:
Pro-Palestinian demonstrators have gathered in the centre of Paris to protest against the upcoming visit of Benjamin Netanyahu to the French capital. The Israeli Prime Minister is due to meet French President Emmanuel Macron on Sunday.
People carrying Palestinian flags gathered in Place de la République in the capital on Saturday, as seen from photos and videos on social media. Some protestors were holding signs reading “Boycott Israel” and “Free Palestine.” Others held banners saying that US President Donald Trump and Netanyahu “follow Nazi steps”.
In the meantime, a much smaller group of pro-Israeli protesters also gathered in Place de la République, as could be seen on Ruptly’s live video stream.
The protest was organized by a number of groups, including pro-Palestinian organizations and the Democratic Forum for Labour and Liberties (DFLL). The statement on the DFLL website calling for rallies on Saturday says that despite Macron’s criticism of Trump’s Jerusalem decision, the French leader is still welcoming Netanyahu to Paris. The statement goes on to call Netanyahu a “war criminal” who pursues an agenda of “deadly occupation”.
Tensions are running high across the globe after Trump officially recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel…

I am sure all the current protestors support a two-country peace accord, right? How has that worked since the ’40’s, 50’s, etc.? Not too well, eh?
I hope Trump does not loose his resolve and our pusilaminous Senate and House don’t back down.

“Free Palestine” from what? From Jews? From dictatorial-like regime of the PLO? Abbas was “elected” once for the one 4-year term and stays in power to this very day without any new election, very much like Nazis were once elected to power and stayed there till end of the WWII. Is that expression of “freedom”? Their “freedom” is for “satraps” and dictators only (take look on Abbas’ palace), absolutely contrary to meaning of freedom by the western standards and values: Theirs is the PERVERSION of freedom. They can’t be taken seriously with such “demands.” Dismiss!
Westman says
The “integration” is working just as well in France as ity is in Germany. Notice all those “French” flags flying, just like those “French” flags flying among protestors in Germany.
Imagine if people, who only wanted the benefits of living in America, went there and then started protesting under foreign flags, Congress would….uh, er, umm,….do nothing.

In California there is a foreign flag flying; the Mexican flag, and illegal alien Mexicans protesting against the USA. This is why I wish California really would secede from the Union. I can say that safely, having made my escape back to the USA 15 years ago.

Quick off the mark to show how aggrieved they are, aren’t they? As usual. This is starting to get predictable and tedious.

Jerusalem belongs to Israel. Where do these people get off telling Israel what it can or cannot do, same with America, we can build an Embassy anywhere we want. Muslims, mind your own business. There never has been a country named Palestine.
Bodega says
I wonder what is so hard to understand about “Palestinians” are imaginary and never has been a country named Palestine. Why is this not put on banners…I’d even put it on the back of my pickup.
Of course History cannot be remembered or understood if the only reading material I had or they have is the Qur’an.
Frank Anderson says
If you will do some research, some as simple as watching AHC, Nat Geo, or the History Channel, you can see that violence against Jews started in Israel long before 1948, and was planned and encouraged by none other than Adolf Eichman before WWII and Otto Skorzeny after WWII. Always notice how Hamas and Hezbollah marchers hold their left hands on their belts, just as SS marchers did in Nazi films. I think there was some common training going on. Hitler’s teaching, whether his body or not, is alive and well in islam. Imagining that any peace can be negotiated with terrorists is incredibly ??????? (what word or words fit?). Responsible decisions are not made on fantasies. “Convert, submit or die”, escape or resist.
Thomas Kimball says
Nazism and Islam have much in common!

From the article – “In the meantime, a much smaller group of pro-Israeli protesters also gathered in Place de la République, as could be seen on Ruptly’s live video stream.”
I am very glad that there were *any* pro-Israel protestors gathering in public in Paris. They are the bravest of the brave and I take off my hat to them.
Memo to any French jihadwatchers lurking and reading here: I do hope that you are thinking about ways and means of mounting, or of joining, pro-Israel demonstrations of this kind. Such demonstrations need to be **pre-planned* so that, when a potential ‘trigger’ event such as Trump’s Jerusalem declaration takes place, the *pro-israel* side (i.e. the pro-freedom pro-truth pro-humanity and resistance-against-Jihad side) can get out on the streets FIRST… and the aim should be to muster MORE people than the mohammedans do.
How big was the latest “let’s hate the Jooz” rally by the mohammedans and their fellow travellers? Work out how many they put out on the streets; then.. make your plans, rally your numbers, resolve to field **at least three times as many* people from *your* side, next time.

The destruction of Israel was part of the price agreed to be paid to the Muslim world between the EU and the OIC several decades ago. In exchange for oil, trade deals and prestige and power and reduction of Islamic terror attacks. EU sold out Israel,and started the Islamisation of Europe.
