Well, THAT’s refreshing. Maybe the West will start questioning the intellectual fallacy that is an ethno-religious-centric democracy. Hell, Israeli intellectuals are starting to realize it and emigrate.

From the comment section below the timesofisrael article: “Yes, the charter that led to the creation of the State of Israel. LOL. What a self-own.”

Can’t pay for schools when all the money is going to missiles!

Not very constructive either to question people’s drinking habits for the sake of winning an argument. Whatever, you have a good one

Nothing logical in all of this. Same as killing each other over who’s allowed to pray where in a 1 km2 area

France is concerned of all comments about the war in Gaza. France is the European country with the largest Jewish and Muslim communities. It is trying to navigate this mess in order to keep civil peace in a very very tense context.

France is backing Israel because it is in dept with Jewish people over its collaboration during WW2 and the help it provided to the Nazis in the hunt of Jewish people.

France was attacked and is still threatened by Islamist terrorists (Charlie, Nice, Bataclan,…). Hamas is more or less aligned on IS when it comes to Western countries, that is why it is considered a terrorist organization.

But France is also in dept with Arabs and Muslims. It colonized North Africa for 130 years, led a bloody war in Algeria with lots of war crimes against civilians. It hosts millions of citizen of Arabic and Muslim ancestry and the government cannot pretend their opinionidoesn’t matter (lots of people who are neither Arabs nor Muslim also want Israel to stop bombing Gaza). It has been funding schools and hospitals in Gaza, is dropping food and medicine by air for Gaza’s population. It does not provide any military assistance toI Israel which is not a member of NATO.

So yes, France needs to regulate public speech to avoid civil unrest and violence at home, while working toward a lasting peace between Palestine and Israel.

No shit. Just like that, an international criminal court is going to prosecute war criminals?

Noone wins a war of occupation. You either learn to live with conquered peoples and give them access tibequal rights (Roman empire) or completely erase the local population (Europeans in North America).

Same rhetoric as German occupiers claiming that they would not execute civilian hostages as long as Resistance fighters would give themselves up. Sorry for the Goldwyn point but you made it a low hanging fruit.

Bulshit. The diaspora started in 63BC, under Roman rule. Everybody could live peacefully side by side in one country, save for the religious nutheads pushing their hatred rhetoric

Not a millenia old feud. A one-centure-GB-US-Iran engeneered old feud.

Very hard to shake out the hatred once you have been brought up with it. People are fed with hatred from their infancy, they breathe hatred every day, they dream of hearted every night. France and Germany did this for two generations and it brought WW1. Germany and Japan did it again in the 20s and 30s and it brought WW2. Hamas, Likoud, Hezbollah and Republicans are feeding the same hatred to their members.

You could have cited the uprising of the Warsaw Ghetto

Hate mail if he’s lucky. Yitzhak Rabin was murdered trying to bring the peace with Palestine.

I meant Algeria is a quasi a dictatorship and I don’t know if Algerian journalists are authorized to comment on the benefits of their government’s involvement with the Nigerien regime. I don’t know to which point people or even elected officials can express their view freely, and I wonder what they think of it.
