Hollande Furious After Netanyahu Participates In Paris March, Disobeying French President's Request
There was one world leader who was out of step with the rest of political elite during yesterday's theatrical procession of world leaders for French unity and for press freedom (even as the bulk of them engage in prosecution of freedom of speech across their own nations): Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In fact, as Reuters reports, he managed to "ruffle a few feathers while taking part in the "Charlie Hebdo" rally in Paris on Sunday" because this was an event his office initially said he would not be attending following a specific request form French president Hollande not to come to Paris, but ultimately ended up participating in much to the Chagrin of the French president.
As Reuters further reports, "a video posted on Facebook, the news footage mockingly set to the Looney Tunes cartoon music, showed Netanyahu maneuvering his way to the front of the rally with the help of several bodyguards, allowing him to be photographed arm-in-arm with other leaders, including French President Francois Hollande and German Chancellor Angela Merkel
Those pictures were quickly posted on Netanyahu's Twitter feed, while the banner on his Facebook page was changed to a photograph of him in the front row, shoulder-to-shoulder with Hollande, Merkel, Malian President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita and EU leaders Jean-Claude Juncker and Donald Tusk.
Not shown in the picture was Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, who was standing alongside Tusk, six feet (two meters) from Netanyahu. The two broke off peace talks last April and tensions between them have risen since, with Netanyahu accusing Abbas of inciting violence against Israelis.
The irony is that neither Netanyahu nor Abbas initially planned to be in Paris.
What happened is that according to sources in Netanyahu's office said that in a phone call on Friday evening an adviser to Hollande had suggested it would be "complicated" and "uncomfortable" if the Israeli leader attended the Sunday march, largely because of security concerns.
Actually it was that... and other concerns. Here is Haaretz with the full story.
Hollande asked Netanyahu not to attend Paris memorial march
French President Francois Hollande conveyed a message to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the weekend asking him not to come to Paris to take part in the march against terror on Sunday, according to an Israeli source who was privy to the contacts between the Elysees Palace and the Prime Minister’s Office in Jerusalem. The fact that this message had been conveyed was first reported by Channel 2.
After the French government began to send invitations to world leaders to participate in the rally against terror, Hollande’s national security adviser, Jacques Audibert, contacted his Israeli counterpart, Yossi Cohen, and said that Hollande would prefer that Netanyahu not attend, the source said.
Audibert explained that Hollande wanted the event to focus on demonstrating solidarity with France, and to avoid anything liable to divert attention to other controversial issues, like Jewish-Muslim relations or the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Audibert said that Hollande hoped that Netanyahu would understand the difficulties his arrival might pose and would announce that he would not be attending.
The source noted that one of the French concerns - not conveyed to representatives of the Israeli government - was that Netanyahu would take advantage of the event for campaign purposes and make speeches, especially about the Jews of France. Such statements, the Elysee Palace feared, would hurt the demonstration of solidarity the French government was trying to promote as part of dealing with the terror attacks.
According to the source, Netanyahu at first acquiesced to the French request. In any case, the Shin Bet security service unit that protects public figures considered the arrangements for the prime minister’s security to be complex. And so, on Saturday evening, Netanyahu’s people announced that he would not be flying to Paris because of security concerns. Netanyahu told the French he would come to France on Tuesday for a Jewish community event.

The French apparently sent the same message to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. Like Netanyahu, Abbas acceded to the French request and released a strange statement about the same time Netanyahu released his, that he would not be attending the event because of the bad weather.
However, on Saturday night, Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman and Economy Minister Naftali Bennett announced their intention to go to Paris and take part in the march and meet with the Jewish community. When Netanyahu heard they were going, he informed the French he would be attending the march after all.
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.
Hollande's anger at Netanyahu was evident during the ceremony held Sunday evening following the march at the Grand Synagogue in Paris, an event attended by hundreds of members of the local Jewish community.
Hollande sat through most of the ceremony, but when Netanyahu's turn at the podium arrived, the French president got up from his seat and made an early exit.

Upset at Netanyahu, Hollande also presumably preferred to avoid a rerun of the 2012 ceremony for the victims of the Toulouse shooting – to which Netanyahu arrived just as he was commencing his elections campaign.
The French weekly La Canard Enchaine revealed then that Hollande complained in closed talks after that event that he found it unfortunate that Netanyahu had come to Paris to conduct a "two-staged election campaign," starting with a memorial for those murdered at the Jewish school in Tolouse, followed by a his speech at a ceremony there. The French president was quoted by the report saying that it was only because he came with Netanyahu to the ceremony that the Israeli prime minister toned down his speech.
Sources in the Prime Minister's Bureau said Sunday that when contacts were first made with the French over Netanyahu's trip this week, they were told that the visit could "cause difficulties." According to the sources, the Israelis understood that the French were referring mainly to security issues. They added that after the security arrangements were made, Hollande told Netanyahu in a phone call on Saturday evening that he would be happy to see him.
Associates of Netanyahu said that at no point did the French tie Netanyahu's visit in with that of Abbas.

"They didn't march. "
Wow, I really did not know that, thanks. The lies, fakes, and head games come from all directions in such volume that it actually gets hard to care, let alone know, what the truth is anymore.
Nous Sommes Tous Fascista
Hollande should have sent a message to French immigration officials to deny Netanyahu entry into France at the airport and had him arrested if he got stroppy.
My God he has one... Francois has a "testicle" or something that looks like one?...
I don't even think "Lumiere" Sarkosy would have stuck his chin out this far, but he left before the real fun was getting underway!
Too many fucking Khazar Jews in France!
Looks like Western Europe needs another round up under the banner of a modern "Kristallnacht".
And if that don't work?... Time to remove Tel Aviv properly under a "mushroom"!!!

So that's why Obozo was missing. They didn't want the military suppliers of ISIS there.
More theater of the absurd.
And freshly shat skittles for the sheep.
I hope you are doing well Uncle Remus. When I listen to all this bullshit I think of you from time to time.
MOU
As I think of you on occasion, wondering how you are doing. These are interesting times no doubt, but I left the big city over a decade in anticipation of ugly.
We're hanging in there and keeping it all close to the vest. And, always carrying. Crazy fucks bent on bodily harm just appear out of nowhere it seems like anymore. ;-)
Thanks for the shout out lady - it's alwasy good to see you posting. Let's me know there's some non-zombie out there.
There is no principle here ... it's all about getting reelected. For both men.
O'Bozo couldn't show up because with Hollande already there the maximum capacity for stupidity the universe could support at any one point at any one time would have been exceeded
As stated yesterday, that march was essentially a parade of war criminals and human rights violators pretending to care.
I'm surprised Bush, Cheney, Powell, and Condi Rice weren't out there marching!
Nuttinyahoo and Abyss are checking the rooftops for snipers.
Everybody likes sticking it to the French!
I would rather say the french like sticking it to themselves....
French sticklers?

Hmm, by any chance, would you have a website where we could see more?
A link to your blog would be helpful since most folks here are tired of reading all this ZH crap, and would be grateful for redirection to a quality site like yours.
French police commisioner investigating so called "terrorist" attack commits suicide... HAHAHA YOU CANT MAKE THIS SHIT UP... Fucing zio's
http://sputniknews.com/europe/20150111/1016754353.html
A lot of people in goverment must be midgets to make Nuttyahoo look tall, he must be wearing lifts. And is that a nazi salute Nutty is making in the synogoge? He looks like Oleg in Ukraine. Strange but true. And you know why Obama didn't come, they didn't want any tall people, besides, Barry had a prescheduled golf game.
Sick and tired. Politicians and their double morals. Had Charlie Hebdo done to the jews what they did to the muslims, they would have been banned. Here is a march for free speech, yet if a person supports IS on Facebook, he gets charged.
Free speech is exactly what it says, free. No buts and ifs.
So go home and mind your own business you hypocrites.
If you don't think this shit is coming over the pond soon, then you just don't think.
On a related note, ammo prices are down and availability is up since 2013! Who said there isn't any good news?
Will we see a new French Resistance?
We saw what you did and we know who you are!
Obama was there, it's just that he's the most transparent president in history.
Now that is funny!
Why wasn't Hollande out there marching? The French want to know.
thank you zh for providing the opportunity for some equal time jew bashing. it was getting boring bashing negroes and muslims and christians without including other fun to bash people like white trash and jews. of course jews are the most favorite because their skin is so thin.
i propose a new game called "who can give a jew a heart attack?" the idea is to say something so outlandishly antisemitic to a jewish person and see how many comments it takes before he has a heart attack from the apoplexy you have caused or he tries to kill you. bet accordingly.
Pro Tip:
Mohammed cartoons won't do it.
Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu was not invited or told to stay away and yet the Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is allowed or is wanted to be in attendance? I'm really getting confused here.
Picture a Mean Girls slumber party.
If the girl that nobody likes shows up uninvited, then you make sure the girl that really hates her worse than everyone else is invited too.
Make popcorn and watch the show.
I used to think International Relations was a difficult and complicated business until I realized that everything you need to know you already learned in High School.
This would explain Hillary and Mr. Ed.
Fuck the French; if it wasn't for others who shed their blood for these asshats [yes, including Jews], they would all be speaking German. For Hollande to "Primp & Preen" like the socialist piece of shit that he is, is the height of hypocrisy.

"if it wasn't for others who shed their blood for these asshats ...they would all be speaking German."
The Americans didn't even think of "saving the French" in WW2, they came to Europe because it was better to fight their enemy in Europe than in America.
The US engaged action on December 7, 1941, because Japan had attacked the US at Pearl Harbor, Germany and Italy immediately declaring war to the US as a consequence.
On December 6, 1941, the US public opinion was still as pacifist as the French or British public opinion were in 1938. And who would blame them?
BTW, France and the French have been around a long time in the heart of Europe in one form or another.
They won, they lost, they drawn... They were occupied by the German or by others several times and by the English during 116 years, and they still don’t speak German or English.
In fact the French have succeeded to conquer and guard the largest country in Europe.

Am I the only one seeing Netanyahu as the next Hitler?
He and his Likud lunatics are intentionally flooding Europe with crazy Muslims, creating the problem. The politicians of the Western nations look impotent and incompetent.
Netanyahy, given the right crisis, could swoop in and probably win elections, gaining an army to exterminate the muslims/terrorists.
Israel will then have all the land it wants...
No. Elizabeth Warren shares your insane view...as well as many other progressives.
Photobaum of the highest order
Glad so many world leaders could take time off jailing and torturing journalists and dissidents to march for free expression in France.
Screw the French
Those crazy Jews turn up everywhere.
I bought some French bread at the store and when I got home there was a bag of bagels there instead.
The public persona is all these opportunists need. Their citizens don't do the research or the majority of politicians would be one and done. So this photo op will work for them as they intend.
How Herman Cain got an invite is beyond me.
News from CERN
If your eminence had gone to the march, a Black Hole of stupidity would have been created, causing Mass psychogenic illness
(MPI)
"In 'epidemic hysteria', shared symptoms develop in a circumscribed group of people following 'exposure' to a common precipitant."
We were this >< close
did you mean circumcised? show results for circumcised
Very late to mention this, but did anyone else find this pathetic line up of sad fucks, frankly, nauseating to the extreme?
And eveyone fell for it! What a load of old shit. It's embarresting and laughable.
Those 3 million marching for freedom of speech were as retarded as the few American fucks that went to see that shit film.
Maybe Obama wasn't there because they all knew it was a CIA job, and Hollande told him to fuck himself!
Didn't work with Netenyahu though I guess.
A sad sad day in this world.
:(
Mossad's specialty is false flag ops, as that James bond song of Carly Simon said: 'Nobody Does It Better'
That would make you changrined too.... having a psychopuppet leader shove it in your face, same as 9-11, as you're working hard to maintain the appearance of nationalism et al.
Pyschos want it all, until their is nothing left... and then need turn on each other.
Are you an Israeli gov't employee whistle blower or were you a sex provider and overheard all this inside info?
US was represented by Netanyahu so no need for Bongo to turn up.
But yes, it's intolerable that so many swallowed it, and yes, there isn't enough vomit in the world to adequately describe that picture.
None of them were actually at the march itself even though the entire media pretended they were

Lying in plain sight.
... >>> "Hollande Furious After Netanyahu Participates "
... definitely a march of the blind leading the blind ... and for a brief moment, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest came to mind ...
Hollande probably wasn't angry at all and Netanyahu was probably invited. The story was probably put out afterwards because Hollande's party relies on the muslim vote.
Well I was angry when I saw that Netanyahu Cunt on TV in Paris - pity there was no opportunity for someone to address the issue in a meaningful way. He wins hands down as NO 1 Worlds biggest A$$hole.
Benjamin Netanyahu main goal was to support, encourage and motivate French, European and American Jews to make Aliyah (immigration to Israel). case in point:From Arutz 7 news "Netanyahu is met with almost frenzied shouts of “Bibi! Bibi!” at the Grande Synagogue – as well as shouts of “help us!” in Hebrew. His arrival obviously greatly heartens the Jews, who are feeling increasingly defenseless in the face of Islamist terrorism."
Well, emigration to Israel makes sense economically, and strategically I suppose, most western Jews have probably got a bit of money and assets. But the downside is the diaspora gets smaller and loses influence and sway in the local culture faster. Which is going to happen anyway, at this point, so they may as well go ahead and leave.
If, for the moment, we just put aside the behavior of Jewish media in the West, Jewish lobbies, the abomination called AIPAC, Jewish owned and controlled US (not) Federal Reserve, the Jewish controlled US Treasury, the Jewish controlled and administered White House, Jewish owned and controlled criminal TBTFs, and of course the 911 thing (hey, examine the evidence, make up your own mind);
- just put all of those major issues aside -
; then the behavior, attitude and actions of Netanyahu, personally, and as a Government, over the last 20 years, is responsible for much of the across-the-board global collapse of support for Jewish positions and causes, and all of its propaganda. And the steep drop in influence within all these cultures, where deep and increasingly vigorous resentment has yet again naturally and entirely predictably taken root.
Ironic, no? Avoidable, no?
Netanyahu to the rescue after he bought it about! So awaken, he's now junked your life also, and you'll go from frying pan to fire, from here.
Remember, if you're going to live in Israel, be ready to, Duck and Cover.
Good luck, I hope the narrowing options work out for you.
Schooled at the local Madrassa?
Netanyahu is a demon.

By all means, please do as he says.
Jews, go home. You have not assimilated, and so you are not part of the French nation.
Too many people these days do not know the difference between a "nation" and a "state." The Europeans, for instance, still have many aspects of nationhood in their political unions (i.e., states.)
By contrast, America has never been a nation. It has only ever been a state. This is why it is fundamentally weak and will eventually fail.
Hollande is just another cowardly left-wing Dhimmi.
The anti-Semitism and tin-foil-hattery displayed in these comments is disgusting. It also hurts the credibility of the ZH reader community.So many of these comments are so stupid, the thread reads like it's from Democratic Underground or Daily Kos.
The irony and hypocrisy of trying to ban the leader of the Jewish victims' holy land from a "unity" demonstration should be shocking, but standards have fallen so low that nothing is shocking these days.
ZH is where the Electronic InFantile come to cyber spoon.
Apparently now that you are here it is also a vipers den of disinfo.
The 'Jewish victims holy land'...by what claim does the holy land belong to the atheist Ashkenaz?
By what claim do they even get to call themselves Jews?
The Jews are not special. They are not the only people to be subjected to genocide. In fact, the Jews have carried out plenty of genocides themselves against their neighbors, dating to ancient times. See the Old Testament for examples.
The "Jewish State" is the only apartheid state that the civilized world will tolerate. It is high time that they are held to the same standards as everyone else. First of all, sign the NPT or else be labelled a pariah state and deprived of all foreign aid. Second, grant the Palestinians full citizenship, or else the entire region that the Romans called Syria Palaestina will be placed under UN control.
I see Abbas in the front row. Like that wasn't for poltiical purposes too. Gimme a break!
I'm sorry, but you aren't invited to the unity rally.
I pray that the Mud People make the City of Lights a firey light show. Vichy Vichy Vichy
Unlikely to take the place of the Mud Shark in your mythology though.
This place has a major antisemitic infestation. The amount of egotistical and absurd snark being spread around is knee deep. Of course it is always done with a blase sense of pseudointellectual ennui.
Fuck off.
The world NEEDS a major dose of antisemitism to counteract the institutionalized pro-Jew propaganda of the last 60+ years.
The jews don't care for anybody except themselves. They are consummate antihumanists. Their "Samson Option" nuclear strategy is the ultimate proof of this.
