31. to: #11 Ehud from Tampa
Mark Bernadiner ,   Pearland, USA   (10.30.13)
OIsrael is a small country, but Israelis do not occupy stolen land unlike you who live on the land stolen by your ancestors from American Indians. You keep American Indians in concentration camps RESERVATIONS. This Nazi style crime.
32. #25 well said
(10.30.13)
Hollande has an approval rating about 20% in France. After deporting some refugees to Kosovo he lost much hard-core Leftist support. He knows the best way to regain the support is classic Jew-baiting. Israeli Leftists are not the sharpest knives in the drawer. They would rabidly attack any Israeli leader who deports refugees, but support Hollande because he attacks Israel.
33. Obama did not speak at Knesset either
Laila ,   Montreal, Canada   (10.30.13)
Obama did not speak at Knesset either.
34. Why should he speak to a bunch of lazy spoiled sissis?
Michael ,   California, USA   (10.30.13)
Let's count what the Knesset owes to its electorate, to the people of Israel: 1. Declaration of civil rights; 2. Constitution; 3. Separation of state and religion; 4. Drafting the Haredim with everybody else; 5. Taking care of Holocaust survivors. Do I need to go on, after 65 years of laziness and avoiding responsibility? What good will it accomplish with those who don't listen, don't think?
35. Hollande should be barred period
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (10.30.13)
The leaders of all colonial powers should never be welcome in Israel. Until the French surrender their dozens of colonies around the world and end their illegal occupations they should never be allowed in.
36. Hollande is following Obama's terrible example
CJK   (10.30.13)
obama humiliated the jewish state when he boycotted the knesset. hollande is following in obama's foot steps. these two mediocrities are highly mistaken if they think that by boycotting the patliament of the jewish state they will achieve anything.
37. Well done Edelstein!
michael redbourn ,   Lisbon Portugal   (10.30.13)
38. #2 - that's OK - if he also speaks to the Knesset!
michael redbourn ,   Lisbon Portugal   (10.30.13)
39. #24. Knesset speaker boycotts Hollande's Israel visit.
Elsie. ,   Gush Halav.   (10.30.13)
#24 Patrick A Hammel. ONE OF THE BEST POST YET ,WELL SAID.!!
40. To #28
David ,   Montreal, Canada   (10.30.13)
You might be right for economical reasons, but that doesn't mean to "sell your mother" (nothing personal, just an expression) for economical reasons.
41. first of all it is Hollande who boycotts speaker...
Jack ,   San Diego, USA   (10.30.13)
...and the Knesset; not the other way around. With this said why din the speaker not show the same bravado when Hussein Barack Obama pulled the same stunt when he visited Israel earlier this year? Where was the brave and outspoken speaker of the Knesset then?
42. Patrick A #24, Get the point straight!!
AVouskila ,   South America   (10.30.13)
What a nonsensical diatribe; volunteering about the manner to get a better Hasbara, while the Swisses are legislating the most xenophobic laws against the Muslim. We are here discussing the unerving and disgusting digression of an international Protocol, by a visiting French President (a moron by some account, but I digress here, sorry) .Once the French Ambassador sat down with the Israeli representatives as to the Hollande's Israel parcour, and change it after pressure, that is a no-no.
43. 24 Europeans hate Jews
CJK   (10.30.13)
europeans hate jews much more than they fear Islamic terrorists.
44. "the little shitty country" by the French
Tom W ,   USA   (10.30.13)
Daniel Bernard French diplomat said: ""All the current troubles in the world are because of that shitty little country Israel." The diplomat added, "Why should the world be in danger of World War III because of those people?" (Wikipedia) So much about the French who bombed Libya not long ago and advocated bombing Syria very recently. The good new is that France's Islamisation progresses a pace and it will submerge into the Muslim morass along with the repugnant Brits.
45. president Saadat was in the Knesset
Jack does not wonder   (10.30.13)
46. Propabaly new disclosure in Dryfuss case
Avram Goldsmith ,   Toronto, Canada   (10.30.13)
Hypocrite-Anarchist , after all in Europe all Parlaments sites are looked as whore houses.
47. Typical Hissy Fit by Childish Israelis. Embarrassing.
Huck ,   USA   (10.30.13)
48. 43
Avital ,   Israel/USA   (10.30.13)
CJK wants Europeans to hate jews much more than they fear Islamic terrorists. That would be closer to the truth. You haven't the foggiest idea as to what present-day Europeans think and demonstrate it by parading your ignorance for all to see.
49. Knesset speaker boycotts Hollande's I srael visit.
Elsie. ,   Gush Halav.   (10.30.13)
All Europeans hate the Jewish people?, I don't think so at least me no, however tell me ask"s how many Israeli PM have actually spoken in the EU parliament or in front of the two houses of the American congress? get over it guys as # 24 wrote ,the sun will shine the next day and life will continue, for heavens sake!!
50. 48 Avital
CJK   (10.30.13)
