Israel's true diplomatic and strategic position revealed for world to see
Jerusalem Post via Jewish World Review ^ | 6/10/16 | Caroline Glick

Posted on 06/10/2016 9:16:50 AM PDT by jalisco555

There was something poetic about the events that bookended the past week of diplomacy. This week began with French President François Hollande’s “peace” conference and ended with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s state visit to Moscow.

From the perspective of both substance and style, the contrast between the two events couldn’t have been more striking.

France hosted yet another anti-Israel diplomatic pile-on. Hollande had hoped to show that France was stepping into the void left by the US’s abandonment of its position as world leader. But all the confab served to do was show how irrational and self-destructive France – and Western Europe – has become.

Neither Israeli nor Palestinian representatives were present at the conference which aimed to dictate Israel’s final borders. Their absence made the event seem like a throwback to the era of European colonialism. It was as if Hollande wanted to reenact France’s glory days in Syria and Algeria.

In his opening remarks, Hollande recycled the tired claim that the way to defeat jihad is by forcing Israel to give Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem to Islamic terrorists. The document the French Foreign Ministry circulated among participants ahead of the conference recommended setting a timetable for forcing Israel to give the PLO Judea, Samaria and large swaths of Jerusalem, for the benefit of global security.

Agreed.

If Hillary gets elected, Israel will pivot to Russia. If Trump gets elected, Israel will have to be one of his first priorities, or Israel will pivot to Russia.

No power on earth, and particularly not this French guy, can force Israel to commit suicide. Period. Time for the Nazis, whether in France or Iran or the White House, to grow up and get over their demonic sickness. Get with the world of today ( and, prayerfully, get with the Lord of all time, too, while they can still repent ).

” the conference recommended setting a timetable for forcing Israel to give the PLO Judea, Samaria and large swaths of Jerusalem, for the benefit of global security.”

And in other news Hollande scheduled a Summit for The Southwest USA to be returned to Mexico? ETC ETC ETC

Excellent analysis ( though she misunderstands Donald Trump a bit - but that’s neither central to her analysis nor really a serious mistake right now - she’s just too busy with defending her people to cut through the democratic mass media bs about DT — something she will undoubtably get to doing as Donald shows he’s a real winning kind of candidate. IMHO)

Israel gave Gaza to the terrorists in '06. The result: it turned into a Hamas rocket-launching pad. If Israel gave up the rest, it would be the end of them. ...which of course is exactly the goal of this conference.

France and the other Euro states, currently engaged in their own suicide mission by opening their doors to the mass-murdering jihadis, desperately want Israel to suffer the same fate.

At least Russia is giving Israel some better options than the antisemitic Western European and American Liberal Socialist Progressives and DemoRats.

If only the Leftist Socialist Jews would figure it out.

Well, no one ever accused the Frenchies of a lack of Hubris. French world leadership. Pull the other one. France tried that once and they reduced their average height a couple of inches as a result.

The way to stop bullying is to make the victim give up his lunch money.

Time for the half million French Jews to move out of France.

They are welcome in Judea

Good to go, and Israel will help resettle them. Last year 8% of the French moved to Israel.

>>Given the intensity of Netanyahu’s discussions with Putin since the Russian leader deployed his military forces to Syria last year, many wonder if a major realignment is in the cards for Israel.

Only an ignorant and uneducated person would not know that Russia persecuted and murdered Jews with impunity for 500 years. Netanyahu knows better.

You are correct. Only Israel can commit suicide itself. The Bible foretells that a group of liberal leaders will take over Israel and commit national suicide. But God will save a remnant in the end and delivery Israel...

Isaiah 28:13 But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken. 14 Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem. 15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge* shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves: 16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste. 17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place. 18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.

Israel/Judea (and now USA and UK and Germany and France...)
have always had at least their share of TRAITORS or enemy agents “moled in” to seats of power

there are a numbe of such people in Jerusalem today, too...
so YES it may very well happen one of these days...

Dunno if it is true, but I read somewhere that Hitler once wished that the Germans were as naturally antisemitic as the French...
