Just goes to show that even amidst tragedy, and a so-called 'unity' march, there are still those who play the politics game, and I am not talking about Netanyahu.

Really not a fan of Hollande, sooner he goes, the best for France.

Sad really that this is the attitude towards the leader of the worlds only Jewish state after 4 members of the local French Jewish community are murdered because they are simply Jews.

They must have insulted the Prophet as well by being born a Jew, that's why they targeted them... How offensive it must be to shop for groceries on erev shabbat.

When you look at the state records of some of the other 'dignitaries' invited to attend, such as Turkey, Qatar and others, in their repressive free speech laws and aiding and abetting terrorism, it makes me wonder if France is really that serious about standing up to terror.

Had the attacks only been on the Jewish store and not Charlie Hedbo, there wouldn't have even been a march...

France is no friend of Israel anymore, certainly not with its restive Muslim population it needs to please...

Good luck with it all France, enjoy Eurabia and the forever war :)
