Despite the French march, world leaders still support terrorism, anti-Semitism

Posted

It was an incredible display of mendacity. Led by more than 40 world leaders with linked arms, approximately 1.6 million people marched in Paris on Sunday. The marchers wanted to demonstrate unity after the attacks on satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, police officers, and a kosher supermarket, to show solidarity with those who exercise free speech and with the Jews who are often the target of attacks from the radical Muslim terrorists.

Many of those same world leaders marching to demonstrate a harmonious front against terrorism and anti-Semitism, are guilty of supporting terrorism and ignoring anti-Semitism.

It’s time to stop the nonsense and time to call terrorism … terrorism.

The most duplicitous leader of all was French President François Hollande who didn’t want the Prime Minister of Israel to attend Sunday’s rally and demonstrate solidarity with the Jewish community. Because Netanyahu decided to come anyway Hollande invited Palestinian President Abbas, whose Fatah party includes the al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigade which still commits acts of terror against Israel, and whose Palestinian Authority continues to incite hatred against Jews. Abbas’ Fatah recently celebrated its 50th anniversary by calling for terrorist martyrdom against Israel. 

François Hollande walked out of the Great Synagogue in Paris because Netanyahu would be speaking there. Netanyahu, the leader of the only Jewish country in the world, showed up to support a French Jewish community which for more than a decade has been suffering anti-Semitic attacks, mostly from the Arab community. Back in 2004 Ariel Sharon told French Jews to make aliyah because of the anti-Jewish attacks; they never stopped only got worse.

The European Union relies on the fake semantic designation of a military wing for terrorist organizations. They cynically support the “political wing” of terrorist groups such as Hezbollah and act as if they have no connection with the military wing.

Even here in the United States, groups associated with Hamas, such as CAIR and the MSA, are treated as legitimate human rights groups.
