I appreciate your reply.

But, do the two situations equate? bin Laden was the perpetrator of 9/11. From what I have read, the jackwagons in France had Algerian connections...nothing to do with the Palestinians. At least not outwardly.

Although I do suspect Abbas’s motives...why would he risk alienating his own people to do this march? Especially since BiBi was marching with him?

There’s a thread on this, apparently Hollande didn’t want Bibi there, but he wound up going anyway, and Abbas had been invited the night before.. I’ll try to find the thread.

Many people of many Nations are scratching their heads over this.

Report claims France didn’t want Netanyahu at Paris march

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3245756/posts

The French government was opposed to the idea of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu attending Sunday’s historic march in Paris, believing the Israeli leader’s presence at the rally would be “divisive,” Israeli media reported Sunday.

Netanyahu did not initially plan to attend the event, which was organized in a show of solidarity and defiance after terrorist attacks in the French capital which claimed 17 lives. However, the Prime Minister changed his mind after Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman and Economy Minister Naftali Bennett announced they would join the march, Israel’s Channel 2 news reported.

In retaliation to Netanyahu’s sudden change of heart, which came in spite of the French government’s position, the Elysee Palace extended an invitation to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, according to the report.

The French government reportedly further chose to highlight their invite to Abbas rather than Netanyahu’s announcement regarding the event, announcing a planned meeting between French President Francois Hollande and Abbas Saturday night.

The Israeli Prime Minister’s Office did not respond to a request to respond to the reports.

On Sunday, Hollande and world leaders, including Netanyahu and Abbas marched in the mammoth procession, which began near where gunmen killed 12 people at satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo last week.

Netanyahu was initially situated in a second row of leaders, but shimmied his way into the front row, alongside Malian President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita, Hollande, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, European Council President Donald Tusk and Abbas.

Among the victims were four Jews at a kosher supermarket and a Muslim police officer.

The only analysis I can come up with is: France has been expelling Jews. Netenyahu is welcoming them home to Israel. His visit underscored that.

I believe this is cover for Israel to help France ditch its questionable Muslims. They’re surrounded in their NOGOs, an extraction and deportation plan is all that is needed. The millions of French weren’t marching for free speech, they were marching as a show of force. US Muslim government wasn’t invited as they would rally those muslims who are about to get the boot.

England is ready, Holland is ready, Germany is ready.

I hope I’m not being too optimistic.
