'Don't trust the French' http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4147953,00.html I you substitute the words Jewish and French in this opinion piece it will be exposed as the nonsensical bigotry that it is. Publishing this tripe lowers the tone of your paper.

the only thing this article omits is the fact that this repellent French behaviour actually pertains to the whole of Europe.

"I would rather have a German division in front of me than a French one behind me." —General George S. Patton

The writer takes a whole bunch of random events and tries to make them into some grand conspiracy. Sarkozy called Netanyahu a liar because he Netanyahu lied to him. He's a politician in Israel. They all lie all the time. This is the "blame everyone else except me" game the far-right loves which, as always, includes the Holocaust! Yes, Marshal Petain is a great indicator of modern French political opinion. Good grief.

Meotti speaks the truth. You just can't handle the fact that Europe is a "s*tty little continent", unrepentant in its hatred of Jews and its desire to see us all dead. But what really galls you the most is that Jews won't walk quietly this time into the ovens.

No worries there Mate. I am no different than the rest of the sentient life forms in this quadrant of the galaxy. No one trusts the French. That of course does not include in the reflexive, automatics leftoids, who are drawn towards that pinhole of light. They will always have Paris.

A very bias and unprofessional artical only based on emtions and not on facts. Very disappointing..

Perhaps we should go further---America seems to be the only real reservoir of support for Israel--and jolly old England is hardly bereft of anti-Israeli sentiment...even something so easy as a visit by a member of the Royal Family to Israel seems impossible to accomplish...

You failed to dispute even one single fact in the article. If you replaced the word French with Jewish it would make no sense. If the author is wrong prove it with facts not name calling but you didnt try because you can't.

Even though the Canadian government fully supports Israel, the majority of the French people in Quebec are anti Israel. One can see it day in and day out in talkbacks and commentaries by French Quebecers.

Who cares what you say. All Jews know about the French, you can't deny historical fact, nor current emigration stats.

Meotti, it's about time you stop your whining! Sarkozy is the best friend Israel ever had. The French are NOT particularly antisemitic: ALL acts against the Jews are carried out by Arabs, more churches were defaced by these Arabs than synagogues, Daniel Bernard, who since died, was demoted to Algiers, Petain was considered a traitor... So get your facts right !

The problem in France is not Israel. The problem is the leftist medias and leftist influence over our policy. Sure, M. Sarkozy has left my vote for many many reasons, his attitude toward Israel is one of the main reasons. Should 600.000 french jews vote... another way, that's the difference that made him president in 2007. And as i am not jew ;-)))

So what, precisely, is wrong with the article?

France is a beautiful country only ruined by one thing---- the French!!! Jim you should get your facts right. During WW2 the French in general took great delight in rounding up their fellow countrymen and sending them to the gas chambers. The anti semitism in France goes back generations and seems to be inbred ito the ruling class. Oh and by the way since when is ynet a paper?

Jews in France constitute less than half as a percentage (of the total populace) than Jews living in America. Approximately .73% in France, compared to 1.7% in the United States as a percentage of the overall population. In both countries, Muslim communities are growing rapidly. It is only a matter of time before American politicians, like French politicians, express public sympathy for Israel's enemies and deep-seated contempt for Israel and her leaders. Wake up Diaspora Jews.

The French have been always like this, nothing surprising. They think the World belongs to them? Actually they robbed the half world and created colonies, they have no right to blame Israel for anything.

DON´T TRUST ANYONE ... NICOLAS.

in the same newspaper,in different articles,one says french is friend and other says french is enemy, is a friend or an enemy? it cannot be both of them,it is the same as the spiritual struggle,satan is your ruler or jesus christ is your ruler in your souls,it can never be both of them together,jesus is the master of your soul where the word of peace,true,life and generous lives deep inside you or satan is the master of your soul with guns and weapons,lies,death,steal and murder thoughts lives deep inside you

The writer is right: don't trust French politicians, they all hate or envy the Jews and Israel

He was not considered a traitor, but a hero, many "democratic" politicians, including some presidents, took part to Vichy's regime against the Jews. Study the history of France, please

Ignorant, idiotic and simply not true. Sarkozy is giving Israel the truth in the face, which the face of Israel in this case is Mr. Bibi.

There isn't a single thing in Giulio Meotti's article that isn't true.

Ynet publishes an informative article filled with undeniable facts, and you call it "bigotry"? Changing the nationality, (or religion), of the subject, as you suggest, would just make it fiction. It really shows you how some people are just not interested in the truth.

Israel should take the first action against BASTARD Frenchs, stop importing any french made car to Israel, French car makers such as Renault & Peugeot hold 70% of Israel's car market1! that by itseld is a biggest contribution to the Nazi France economy! Plus never forget that in the midst of war against Israel in 67 & 73 France did an embargo of military goods on Israel! they all of sudden stop the project for delivering the Mirage planes to Israel after the fact that Israel had paid of for the planes long time ago!!!! SHAME ON FRANCE! let them get disappeared from the map of the earth! France is becoming an Arab country anyways.... Anti Jew Bastards,....

Great article. The best way to understand France is to try and understand one's wife: it is impossible. France is the lady of Europe and the world. (I am being polite.) I often wonder how the allies fare with the French in time of war. "Hey Francois, let us go and shoot ....", but with a French accent. Think about it! Could anyone take them seriously? If we could only keep their beautiful Parisian accent and their food and wine, without the ham, the French would be useful. Otherwise, they are feminine skinheads with a permanent attitude.

Sarkozy is called Quasimodo by many french people....how appropriate.....

Since when have the nations of the world come to aid Jews when they were being killed by other nations? True, America has given much money aid but it is in their best interest. To save Jewish lives, the nations of the world have a poor track record.

Go to Rwanda you'll understand how far the french can go.
