“I cannot bear Netanyahu, he’s a liar,” Sarkozy told Obama during a frank exchange where the U.S. president took him to task for backing a Palestinian request for membership of the UN cultural heritage agency UNESCO.
Sarkozy provided a number of explanations for his remarks about Netanyahu, but asked the Jewish leaders not to publicize them, Francis Kalifat, one of the Jewish community leaders, told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.
He was probably trying to put the blame on a media “conspiracy” or on Obama…..that’s why he wants to keep it quiet. But exactly why he feels he is required to klap al cheyt is very curious……..
Perhaps he would be kind enough to share what, exactly, the context was?
Now its quite apparent who the real liar is
He was caught red handed. Like all liars which HE is, he is trying to lie his way out of a lie.
Can he please stop apologizing for sayinh the truth?
Most israelies believe that Bibi is a flat out liar. Why should someone have to apologize for saying a fact as it is?
What sort of “context” would take away from the stinging insult of the statement?
At 3 yrs old I used to do the same in school. When I misbehaved and had to apologise for making fun of my teacher, I told him I never made fun.
Well here is a liar just like he claims bibi to be. he said it and too many people heard the whole conversation! not just that sentence!
Sarkozy-that’s a lie!! Oh, don’t mind me Sarkozy, I haven’t yet filled you in on the context. Can’t your spin team come up with better tales? We’ve all seen this trick before.
The French saying they’re comments were taken out of context? Liar, liar, pants on fire, or, is it hypocrite? Either way, when it comes to lying to Jews and about Jews, to the French is a mandate from G-D. Is it possible the French would back stab jews( yet once again)? Naw, Heaven Forbid, perish the thought, Not the French…Must have been something lost in the translation
Personally, I’m waiting for the French to suffer by their ” new found” Muslim friends, & fellow countrymen, when the Muslims riot yet again in France, & end up treating the French the way they so justly deserve to suffer at the hands of the Muslim immigrants and ” new found ” friends/citizens
