France has been an enemy of Israel since the 1970s when the French
government sold Israel to the Arabs for a few litres of oil (paid good
(Mirages, ships, etc.) not delivered, orders suddenly cancelled, etc.).
Israel discovered decades ago that Europeans cannot be trusted, and the US
can (or at least is more trustworthy than Europe) so they deal with the US
not Europe.

Ever hear the story where Israel relabelled Brazilian (?) oranges and goods
produced in the illegally occupied territories as Israeli produce in order
to defraud Europe?

Don't understand? What do you mean Brazilian? Defraud Europe with
what? This produce was produced using Palestinian arab labour they get
paid for it, what is Europe's response (largely due to arab and
"liberal" lobbying) boycott the products which also feed Palestinian
arabs. If anything Europe lacks common-sense.

There is a group of people who cannot be trusted, and it isn't the
Europeans.

We're still waiting for a full audit of every penny of the $2.5 bn
that was given to the Palestinians during Oslo. The audit has
conveniently not appeared. What is absolutely guarenteed though is
that the European parliament under the auspices of Chris Patten funded
incitement in the Palestinian education system and paid for large
shipments in arms which end up as shrapnel or empty shell casings in
Israeli towns.
