According to the source, when Cohen informed Audibert that Netanyahu would be attending the event after all, Audibert angrily told Cohen that the prime minister’s conduct would have an adverse effect on ties between the two countries as long as Hollande was president of France and Netanyahu was prime minister of Israel.

Audibert made it clear that in light of Netanyahu's intention to arrive, an invitation would also be extended to Abbas. And indeed, several hours after Abbas announced that he would not be traveling to Paris, his office issued a statement stating that he would in fact be at the march.

O would have thrown the same fit. Hard core leftists are the same world round.

[Sacajaweau]

Hollande shows his colors !!!

[definitelynotaliberal]

A telling choice of words, disobeying his request

[Tzimisce]

I love that they excluded so many from the Unity March.

[Jack Hydrazine]

I love it when a world leader crashes a party like this one, especially an Israeli one!

"following a specific request form French president Hollande not to come to Paris"

and Bibi say: So sue me Vichy swine!

Hollande is crying in his Smelly Flakes this morning

Je suis Bibi!

Hollande is such a little dweeb. After all his worry over retaliation on the poor, poor Muslims...he retaliates on the Jews. Hollande is such a wussified man and butt ugly to boot.

Yawn. But what about Obama? Did he even ask about going?! Did he turn down an invite? Or, did the French so completely dismiss him, not worth an invite or inquiry?

Bibi stole the show, and gave a great speech.

Hollande likely wanted to use it as a platform, and to counter the growing UKIP-like conservative movement, with elections coming soon.

The idiot with a 11% approval rating is mad? Poor thang

That's EXACTLY what this whole thing was about. They didn't invite Le Pen neither.

And yes, Marine has grown on me, I do not believe she is the nutcase her father is, and she is making an honest effort to clean up the Front National. Of course the mainstream press will have none of it.

La pisse sur M. Hollande

Same as te UKIP...but it resonates with the voters.

Bibi is the most logical and obvious foreign rep to have attended. Period. End of file. France is doomed to die under its current govt.
