JERUSALEM – Israel's defense minister is canceling a planned visit to Paris amid threats by pro-Palestinian groups to have him arrested there.

Ehud Barak was to dedicate a new Israeli booth at the Eurosatory arms fair in Paris, which opens this week. But his office announced Sunday that he would stay home while Israel forms a committee to investigate its deadly raid on a Gaza-bound flotilla.

Perhaps Mr. Barak, who is about as liberal as anyone can get, and was about to virtually hand over his country to the Palestinians will get the point - JEWS ARE HATED - in much of the world, regardless of what they try to do to please the haters.

Thanks to Sunken Civ for the heads up.

Unfortunately, the French have always had a malignant anti-semitic streak running through their society. From the Crusades ‘til the present.

Now the chic elites have joined the anti0semites de souche who have taken up the cause of the Palestinians against the “oppressor” Israel.

I agree that they need to investigate the “raid”. Whoever planned and ordered that “raid” should go to prison for needlessly and recklessly endangering the lives of the Israeli soldiers.

The soldiers should have been transported to the vessels in armed patrol boats and should have open fire at the first signs of resistance and sunk every damn one of them. The Israeli’s were sent into an ambush and it was only by thr Grace of God that a lot of them were not killed.

They [the Israeli’s ]are not dealing with human beings. They are dealing with animals. Animals who walk on two feet and whose only desire is to hurt and kill. That some of the animals were once United States politicians is, in my opinion, a disgrace to the United States. But then again, so are, again in my opinon, obama supporters.
