France threatens to recognize Palestinian state if no progress with Israel

French parliament votes to recognize Palestinian state | The Times of Israel

Israel: We reject France's statehood ultimatum, not peace push | The Times of Israel

What would you expect from an antisemitic country like France?

As always, the West is beating up on Israel since they can't do squat about the Arabs. Same thing that Clinton did.

Obviously, France will not demand that the Palestinians state that they are no longer seeking the destruction of Israel, or accept Israel as a Jewish state, or stop the rabid Anti-Semitic propaganda in their schools. That's too much to ask.

That's between France and Israel. France has a right to recognize whomever they want to.

I don't see the problem. If this is what's best for the French, then they should do what's in their national interests.

I agree that France has a long history of antisemitism, but I don't think this is antisemitism. The Israeli government publicly states that it supports a two-state solution, but has stalled and even done all it could to prevent a two-state solution. The US and its allies have tacitly nodded approval to this for years. France is just stating the truth.

The "sharia law" nonsense needs to stop.

Why would the Palestinians negotiate faithfully and give up mutual concessions with Israel if they have already secured a one sided vote from France?

You mean the Arab bully that started and lost several wars, committed thousands of terror acts, lobbed tens of thousands of rockets into Israel, and is demanding that Israel give back the lands they won after defending themselves from Arab aggression without Arabs as much as openly agreeing that the Israelis have the very right to exist ? Yes, some bully.

France, they're in deep **** anyway and in a generation or two will have far bigger problems to worry about.
