I do not recall such international support when Israel has been the subject of mass murder by terrorists. I don’t recall any world leader visiting.
All Israel Ministers are calling for massive emigration of Jews from Europe and particularly France and are willing to provide generous assistance..
PM Benjamin Netanyahu was prepared to fly to Paris Sunday to participate in a rally for unity against Islamic extremism, his staff said Saturday night.
Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman and Economy Minister Naftali Bennett were also set to attend the march along with various other world leaders in the wake of the terror attack that claimed the lives of 17 victims in the French capital this week.
Various European leaders were also set to attend the anti-terror rally in the French capital on Sunday.
On Saturday morning, there was still a visible police presence around the French capital, with patrols at sensitive sites including media offices. There was a false bomb alert at the Eurodisney fairground to the east of the capital.
Participation of European leaders – including Germany’s Angela Merkel, Britain’s David Cameron, Italy’s Matteo Renzi, Mariano Rajoy of Spain, and European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker – in a silent unity march through Paris with President Francois Hollande will pose heightened demands for security forces on Sunday.
Arab League representatives and some Muslim African leaders as well as Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu will also attend.
The deadly three-day terror streak that began on Wednesday has prompted French official to examine lapses in security.
French President Francois Hollande convened an emergency security meeting on Saturday in light the worst assault on France’s homeland security for decades.
Seventeen victims lost their lives in three days of violence that began with an attack on theCharlie Hebdo weekly on Wednesday and ended with Friday’s dual hostage-taking at a print works outside Paris and kosher supermarket in the city.

Let me add my sincere wishes for a speedy and full recovery.
Hope this finds you feeling better. I too never saw your comment till now. Sorry for the delay.
@ mar55:
I am sorry just was notified of your post this morning. I the march was amazing, if it has any lasting effect quien sabe. I enjoy the video of BiBi at the Grand Synagogue of Paris. I like watching his security guard. Such handsome and steely eyed young Jewish me come from Israel. It give me such hope to see the young Jews that Israel is producing.
I hope you are well are at lest better now. I have a book for you to read, ” Small Miracles from Beyond” by Gitle Haberstam and Judith Levensohn.

@ honeybee:
How is it going the march in France? Is there a way of knowing how is it? do not expect it to be effective as far
as making people aware of the Jewish plight. People are aware. They just do not want to recognize the consequences of their behaviour because it is happening to the Jews. Please let me know.
I have been sleeping for more than fifteen straight hours.
I have a fever and I am not alert.
Please let me know how is the march is evolving.

More than that. We need a National Couch!!!

Laura Said:
Should tell the Jews that the French do not consider their Jewish citizens as Frenchmen and women……
What about the brutal murder of Halmi??? Even now they decry an attack against a news organ who has irritiated most of French icons and elites but now they are all Charlie??/
Most would be happy to see that organ closed.
They published antisemetic graphics that the Nzis would be proud of but when Jews are attacked and murdered because they are Jews it seems apart from the Jewish community to not have elicited much attention or notice by most Frenchmen.
Why do Jews insist on living where they are not welcome or wanted?
Abbas hypocrisy: Abbas participated in the anti-terror march in France, but PA, PLO and Fatah continue to glorify terrorists who murder Israeli civilians
5 terrorists who killed 10 Israelis are elevated as “Martyrs of 2014”

@ Laura:
So true, but I said to Ted, ” you were expecting” ?????????
The same thought came to me this morning too Ted, regarding the lack of international support for Israel. Terrorism against Jews is treated differently even if targeted against Jews outside of Israel who are citizens of those countries.
It took the murder of non-Jews at Charlie hebdo for the French to respond with this outpouring of unity and condemnation of Muslim terrorism. The slaughter of Jewish schoolchildren in Toulouse certainly didn’t galvanize the French.
@ Ted Belman:
You were expecting ???????????
I believe the EU has also taken Hamas off the terrorist list.
Excellent point. I was thinking the same. @ bernard ross:
Not so long ago the French were filing the street of Paris in support of Hamas.
I dont think they should go as there could be an attack which kills them all. furthermore, they never support israel.
