1. Question
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.15.15)
Where was Valls while the Jewish community of France has repeatedly been terrorized? Just asking. And be careful. That's a question I CAN answer. I never ask a question to which I do not already know the answer. And the answer does not exactly cast the French in a positive light. In point of fact, I can make the case that the French government is guilty of crimes against humanity. So, the French government REALLY needs to watch its step. They are not exactly flavor of the month in the Jewish -- TAXPAYING -- community of France. Mommy! He pushed me! WAHHH! The French are SO pathetic.
2. Netanyahu in Paris
Avraham ,   Jerusalem   (01.15.15)
I do not understand why one should dramatize that security situation if it happened at all as described. "Gorilla" was simply worried about the security of his boss Netanyahu and simply did not recognized the French PM. Personally I do not believe it happened like described in this article!
3. OMG did valls go down and skin his knees
(01.15.15)
Where is the proof? The french Are Petty Twits, they should Take Charge of their 5th Colmn and No Go Area's in france!!!
4. 1
Birdi ,   Israel   (01.15.15)
How utterly childish, so what, who gives a flying toss who pushed or did'nt push whats his name. The feeble French will say anything to shove dirt at Bibi & Israel.
5. ...and so he should. Hollande is a
DT ,   Ta Israel   (01.15.15)
typical French betrayer. Promote the PM's guard.
6. 1 Question
(01.15.15)
Did you know that half a million of French are Jews? So half a million Jews are pathetic too?
7. Who you going to believe?
JRS   (01.15.15)
An israeli says one thing a Frenchman another. What does history tell us? USS Liberty, Rachel Corrie, pollard. etc
8. Everybody reacting like kids
Daniel   (01.15.15)
First of all, this is not news. If the bodyguard did not immediately recogize Valls, he did the right thing. Nothing to make news about. On the other hand, people's reactions here are just as stupid. Would anyone defend a body guard of a European PM who started pushing Bibi here in Israel? Of course not. There is no reason for the newspaper to make news about this, but nor is there any reason for racists on this site to go anti-French about this. For the record, the current French PM is very popular among French Jews.
9. JRS #7, "Let them eat cake" was a fabricated quote
Jake   (01.15.15)
initiated by the French media at the time. As for USS Liberty and Rachel Corrie, the "deliberate attack" angle has been demolished by the facts, and is now current in primarily antisemitic and anti-Israel circles. As for Pollard, the CIA has admitted that many of the allegations against him were false, and that he transferred no information regarding American military capabilities, only regarding Israel's foes (armaments of the PLO and the Arab states). He was convicted of espionage, never treason. Don't let antisemitism cloud your judgment and obscure the truth from your view.
10. I don't put much stock in unverified "reports"
Jake   (01.15.15)
least of all those regarding Israel or from a newspaper that calls itself "the Chained Duck". No evidence has been proffered to substantiate the allegation and the Shin Bet has flatly denied it. But that won't stop the antisemitic trolls from touting it as fact.
11. Netanyahu guard shoved French PM
dikla ,   USA   (01.15.15)
The bodyguard is given one job -- Guard the Body. In this case the body is that of Netanyahu. When a person goes near the 'body' it is the guard's job to eliminate the risk. if the guard did not recognize the pm of France (and why would he) then there might have been some intervension. When Rabin was killed the guard failed to take care of the 'body'... we don't want a repeat do we?
12. just stop the hate
CJK   (01.15.15)
every day hatefilled articles of little importance about netanyahu appear. netanyahu is still prime minister and he deserves some respect.
13. wherever he goes, Bibi makes more friends for Israel...
Rafi ,   US   (01.16.15)
NOT!
14. At Sarah
Bob ,   Utah   (01.17.15)
Israelis are SOOOO pathetic!
15. # 6 Half a million Jews in France today
BUILD BABY BUILD !!!   (01.17.15)
and less tomorrow as they leave france for Israel SAVE A JEW BUILD A HOUSE !!!
16. Netanyahu guard should get a medal!
BUILD BABY BUILD !!!   (01.17.15)
When you read of how the Secret Service allows the White House to be so easily breached, maybe they could learn a few things from Netanyahu's guard? Like keeping the PM safe? LOVE BUILDING !!!
17. #11 - eliminate the risk ?
barney rubble   (01.17.15)
should the french bodyguards have eliminated the risk to the french PM too ? under the circumstances the bodyguard should have recognised the french PM
18. @sarah
(01.17.15)
" I never ask a question to which I do not already know the answer" seems like a good way to go through life.
19. Bibi
tom dee ,   Savannah GA USA   (01.17.15)
Bibi goes to make a nice show to run for office and he end up getting bad press. It does not matter if it is true or not the rumors will be floating around the internet. Bibi is no long very good at good press.
20. Guard protecting Prime Minister
Josef ,   South Africa   (01.21.15)
The Israeli guard was doing the right thing , DOING HIS JOB, in a place where nobody is safe, where Hollande cant maintain order and peace, Israel is standing up for itselves , which very few countries can say the same! Bravo to all the Prime Ministers Men covering and protecting him while he is fighting and maintaining Israel's right to existence!! The European's as well as the US is sitting on the fence regarding Israel , leaning left and then right,too afraid to do the right thing! SHALOM to;Benjamin Netanyahyu and Israel.
