Undiplomatic: Israel Furious After French Diplomat Hits Soldier
inn ^ | 9/22/13 | Ari Soffer and Maayana Miskin

Tensions between Israel and the European Union over the EU boycott of Israelis living in Judea and Samaria (Shomron) may be exacerbated by a new incident in which a French diplomat struck an IDF soldier.

The incident occurred as IDF soldiers stopped a “humanitarian aid” shipment of tents and other supplies that were headed for an illegal Bedouin encampment.

The equipment was to be sent to Bedouin and foreign activists in the Jordan Valley whose illegal encampment was destroyed last week after the High Court of Justice, Israel’s Supreme Court, ruled that the structures were built without proper permits. The Bedouin claim they have lived in the area for generations.

They should be furious that France was interfering with their internal affairs.

The embassy chick throwing herself on the ground and taking a poke at the soldier was pathetic. But the harm was in trying to defy Israeli authority.

Hope the IDF member flattened him.

It was a female diplomat, and the IDF soldier showed great restraint.

She was trying to provoke an incident. She wouldn’t have tried such a stunt with a Muslim soldier or the consequences would have been the type that the Western press won’t report about the treatment of women.

provocateurs is exactly what was happening and a subversive.

The statement continued, “Diplomats are sent by their governments to be a bridge and not act as provocateurs. The European diplomats and their governments owe an explanation to this blatant violation of diplomatic codes of conduct. Israel has already made it clear that it will not accept this misconduct. Israel's response will reflect the seriousness of these violations.”

True. However, the restraint was not deserved. I wouldn’t have always thought like this being inculcated with manners and respect for women in my youth. I have learned that females can knife you in the back as well as males. Further, I support equal rights. Perhaps, I would have done the same as the IDF member. Perhaps not. I don’t have as much restraint as I used to. And leftists deserve no restraint.

A “diplomat” who throws a punch is no diplomat!

Here's a link to try about the female French histrionics...

Incident at Mal-hul

Unfortunately, it doesn't really show the French "diplomat" throwing herself on the ground screaming, for no apparent reason.

I wonder if she learned that from the US "Occupy" doofuses.

Oh, and btw all, this isn’t in “the Jordan Valley”, or as al-Reuters and the NY Slimes claimed “the West Bank” — the location is south of the Dead Sea, in the Negev, which is Israeli territory, except among those among the koranimals and their dhimmwit enablers who deny Israel’s right to exist.
