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?

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



wouldn't you think, the way things are, a better plan would to relabel
israeli stuff as brazilian to sell it in europe?

government bureaucracy we settled on the one issue that everyone could
agree on which was weapons of mass destruction as the core reason, but
.... there have always been three fundamental concerns. One is weapons of
mass destruction, the second is support for terrorism, the third is the
criminal treatment of the Iraqi people. ... The third one by itself, as
I think I said earlier, is a reason to help the Iraqis but it's not a
reason to put American kids' lives at risk, certainly not on the scale
we did".
