Rather than slam Iran, Hizballah, Hamas and the other jihadists that threaten Israel’s existence, as well as the security of the Western world, Emmanuel Macron slams Israel. In so doing, he announces to jihadists everywhere that he’s a weak appeaser — a point that has been clear enough already, given France’s open-door immigration policy and its own jihad problem.
The timing of Macron’s ill-advised criticism of Israel couldn’t be worse. Macron has just managed to retain power by the skin of his teeth, with far-left parties gunning for him and populists growing in popularity as the crisis in France deepens.
“French president slams Netanyahu for causing ‘full-scale’ war, Bibi bites back,” JNS, September 22, 2024:
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and French President Emmanuel Macron held a difficult conversation last week over the escalating situation in Lebanon, Israel’s Channel 12 reported on Friday.
According to the report, Macron, who initiated the call, hurled harsh accusations at the Israeli premier for leading Israel and Lebanon to the brink of a full-scale war.
“The responsibility to prevent escalation is yours. You can opt for a diplomatic solution. This is the moment to show leadership and responsibility. Your activity in the north is pushing the region to war,” Macron was quoted in the report as saying.
Netanyahu replied: “Instead of putting the pressure on us, it’s about time you pressured Hezbollah. We will bring our residents back home [in the north]. This is the decision we made this week and we will act on it.”…

President Macron is of bad faith “forgetting” Hezbollah’s uninterrupted provocations and attacks against Israel since 1982 !
࿗Infidel࿘ says
I have never seen a single French leader since Jacques Chiraq ever have a good policy in support of Israel. Maybe it’s just appropriate that France gets devoured and destroyed by muslims: they’re definitely not worthy of our sympathy, much less support
truth says
my thoughts exactly!!!!!
Dogue says
Let’s hope the Le Pen and other right-thinking French leaders will steer France back from the abyss Macron and his cronies are pushing France into. Macron is just such an imbecilic embarrassment for France.
Bexarkat says
Macron probably would blame the Free French Forces in 1941 for fomenting a “full scale war” against germany.
Dogue says
100%! He’d make a great Vichy collaborator – “Don’t rock the boat in the face of adversity” would be his nom de guerre.
Luchtpint says
This French sissy seems to have forgotten all about Hezbollah’s 1983 Beirut barracks bombings, in which 241 U.S. and 58 French military personnel of the Multinational Force in Lebanon got killed. Goes to show how short the memory of Western “leaders” is.
Jim Harmon says
I’ll caption that pic. Bibi: “Maybe it’s your breath, Francie.”
Walter Sieruk says
Macron must be an idiot for not realizing that the blame for This the full escalation of this war was started by Hamas on October 7th 2023 the with its vicious murderous jihad attacks as well as the kidnapping of Israeli citizens.
Therefore ,the jihadist top dogs of Hamas are to blame for the increasing with war along with those hostile tyrants in power in Iran for suppling Hamas with deadly weapons and encouraging that Islamic murder machine, Hamas , to launch in horrendous Islamic invasion attack on Israel and on er people on 10/7/23
Likewise, that aggressive and horrific Hezbollah later increased in deadly rocked attacks in Northern Israel further escalating this war.
Dogue says
Macron is not an idiot. He is just an empty-suite politician that France seems to have produced after Chirac
Michael Skok says
He’s someone who wants to stay in his safe zone.
Walter Sieruk says
The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is just responding to the aggressive and hostile jihadists of Hamas who started this current was on October 7th 2023 and also the jihad deadly rockets into Northern Israel by the only language that those jihadists are able to understand, which is the language of being on the receiving end of the might of a strong power of military might.
Netanyahu is using the Israel Defense Force in a responsive action of self –defense.
As the fifth President of the United States, James Monroe, rightly and wisely, in a speech had declared, “The right to self-defense never ceases. It is among the most sacred, and alike necessary to nations and to individuals.”
Rick Smith says
Why are so many western leaders cowards and traitors by nature? The enemy isn’t each other or those of us having to fight Islamofascists, the enemy is Islam and those who support it.
Instead of piling on Netanyahu, like other nations are doing, how about defending our friend and ally and threaten Hezbollah and other terrorist groups with annihilation?
Is he afraid of his restive Muslim population? Why not come up with a strategy to arrest and deport them all, including at the next ‘free Palestine’ rally? Imagine these idiots have so many levers of power, including the military and they’re terrified by some screaming thugs and ragheads in their streets that they stab their allies in the back to save their own necks.
somehistory says
Great comment, Rick.
I imagine it being like an innocent person in their home being attacked by an intruder, the cops are called by someone hearing screams and gunfire, and when they arrive, say to the homeowner,
“You interrupted our donut break. Just give him what he wants, because we don’t want to have to arrest you for disturbing the peace with your screams.’
John Adams says
On the best day of Macrons life he was never worthy to carry Bibi Netanyahu’s boots.
John Adams says
Mr Netanyahu, you are the greatest Israeli leader since King David.
Godspeed. I salute you Sir.
somehistory says
He’s kind of like Judge Gideon.
somehistory says
macron says, ““The responsibility to prevent escalation is yours.”
And Mr. Netanyahu could reply, “And I’m taking that responsibility. Haven’t you noticed that we have taken out all of the top hezbollah….who wanted to “escalate” the war by destroying all of us? And we have prevented many of their missiles from being fired at our nation?
And, we will not quit now.
somehistory says
And some in Greece are showing the same stupidity, saying there is ‘enough pressure on Israel’
“UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) – Israel is not facing sufficient pressure to end the war in Gaza and the escalation in Lebanon is a minefield that the international community may not be able to deal with, Greece’s foreign minister said on Monday.
Greece was elected as a member of the United Nations Security Council for 2025-2026 earlier this year, and Athens believes the country’s historical ties with the Arab world and Israel give it credibility to act as a peace broker”

somehistory says
‘Not” enough.
jerry glenn says
France surges in the international Islamopandering derby.
James Lincoln says
Netanyahu should simply “thank” Macron for his “advice” – but will continue to conduct the war in order to assure an Israeli victory.
In other words, “bug off”…
