French P.M. Asked Netanyahu Not To Come To The Paris March
Benjamin Netanyahu (Bibi) was among the 40 or so world leaders who marched (in their own private march) through Paris on Sunday. Originally, he was not supposed to attend. As reported on Liberaland:
France’s president didn’t want the Palestinian-Israeli conflict to overshadow the show of unity.
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.
Bibi did make the trip to Paris. Pro-Israel groups paid for the bodies of the four Jewish men killed at the kosher supermarket to be flown to Jerusalem for burial. Netanyahu and the relatives of the slain attended the services and eulogized the four victims.
Furthering tensions between Hollande and Netanyahu is Bibi’s invitation extended to France’s nearly 1/2 million Jewish citizens to emigrate to Israel.
“Netanyahu came to France to campaign,” Hollande said in private remarks leaked by a French newspaper.
This was a pretty blatant display of political opportunism. Netanyahu’s decision to attend the funeral for

He also did not attend the funerals of four French Jews killed in Toulouse in 2012, all of whom were buried in Jerusalem.

….
Bebe demonstrated that Israel is the friend and ally of France,
in spite of their idiot politicians.
Kind of like he is with the United States. …. ;)

Bebe had a huge reason to go… the french artists were targeted and so were jewish civs… those 2 groups directly. Anti-semitism is growing in france, so much so that over 7,000 jews left france in 2014, w/10,000 expected to leave in 2015.
And I must admit, Bebe ‘behaved’ himself any how :)

I for one, am glad the Prime Minister of Israel showed up despite all differences, this is our only hope for peace through solidarity.I admire each and every country’s leader that was there I pray it results in peace, & a stand against further violence. All nations need to work together to solve these senseless murders and terror.
