    France in an important European country. One may disagree or even infuriated with their politics particularly towards Israel (I happen to be in that group) but it does have relevance.

    Amazing how when it comes to countries who have clearly violated every moral and humane code of the book, sanctions are never ever in the discussion, nor does anyone say a thing…go figure.One thing we know, where France stands, it is only a matter of time when France will no longer be France.

    France made a BIG mistake letting the Algerians come to France; now they’re becoming a Muslim state.

    The same thing will happen if we let Palestinians into Israel proper.
