I support the Israelis and dislike the French, but there ARE two sides to this story...What are the two sides? Who needs a history lesson?
Right now, France is dedicated to undermining us in the mideast, is encouraging the Sunnis not to participate in elections, is deterring the UN from assisting us in Iraq, is overtly agitating Europe against allying with us and so on. They are our enemy. Israel is a consistent and reliable ally , with a courageous and steadfast leadership which is antogonistic to the same people that are out to destroy us. France wants to prop up and support the Iranians attempt to aquire nuclear weapons. They are whores and scoundrels. Israel wants to stop Iran.
So what are the 2 sides again?

My point was that France has reasons to dislike Israel.
And Israel is hardly reliable, esp. for a nation that gets billions from us. They have spied on us, killed our service members, pirated equipment and enhanced the capabilities of our enemies (like the PRC) for profit. Israel is Israel's ally only. They have an interest in what we are trying do in the ME so they support us.
As for France, they seem largely on the side of the terrorists. Too bad Bush won't him with the "for us or against us" club.
