    So then they start going to Russia and China to get their weapons. I am sure they would be happy to take any remaining influence the west has in the area.

    The vicious cycle of disrupting Muslim communities by belligerent religious leaders who challenge Israel and Western powers to bomb their communities, in order to disrupt the natural norm establishing by civil societies there and therefore promote their toxic masculinity founded theocratic regimes that further the civil society towards their religious and political interests.

    This keeps the region out of competition for better living conditions and progress driven advancement.

    The west participates willingly because this strategy guarantees their exclusive access to the mineral resources that would otherwise be exploited by the host nations themselves for self promotion.

    Same happens to Russia, and Putin is the useful idiot guard dog. Once he’s gone, all the resources will inevitably be sold for cheap to the western world who would prosper.

  3. France’s not a major provider for weapons, but still, he should be calling for the exact opposite.

    This war cannot and will not be solved by politics and negotiations. Not anymore.

  4. Oh shut up! This guy talk so much but does so little, how has he stayed in power for as long as he has? It’s hard to pick a winner between Trump, Trudeau, Macron, Putin, Orban and Tusk in terms of who runs their mouth more.

    The main reason Europe cares about this conflict is because it’s a left vs right political issue and it centers around Muslims in Europe, whether refugees, immigrants, or citizens.

    They’re fully aware of the security risks and the political fallout. That’s the number one reason they want Israel to stop. They couldn’t care less about Israel’s security when it directly affects the political and security situation in their home countries.

    They’re hoping to flex tape the issue by forcing Israel to retreat.

  6. Israel is literally doing everyone else’s dirty work by eliminating the largest terrorist organizations in the world (Hezbollah and Iran).

    It’s simultaneously freeing the citizens of these countries from their tyrannical regimes who oppress and limit their rights, especially those of their women and LBGTQ populations

    It’s such a f*cking double standard when it comes to Jews and Israel. It’s disgusting.

    He’s only doing this because of all the muslims residing in europe, he doesn’t want to rile them up.

    Macron has a lot of opinions, but it’s not like he carries much political weight in France.

  9. I don’t want to dumb it down, but I can’t help but compare two major war going on right now:
    – Ukraine was invaded and asking for weapons in fight for independence in a war with country that has (lol) 2nd most powerful army in the world
    – Israel started (totally justified) retaliation against terrorist organization, than expanded to destroying Palestine brick by brick, now Lebanon and next probably Iran. And despite having the most powerful military complex in the region and not having any plan how actually their war ends, they are asking for more weapons to raze more and more cities.

    It doesn’t seems fair

    France brought Yasser Arafat to their country when he was dying. They have always been pro-Palestinian, nothing they say on this issue matters. There is a reason that the United States’ closest allies are Canada, the UK , and Australia but not them. They aren’t trustworthy and haven’t been since post WWII.

    France continuously shoots itself in the foot. What is the country like 20% native French and the rest immigrants? Out of all the western countries, France has the least ability to self govern competently.

  12. The man needs his voters today more than ever. He can say anything and will not actually need to follow up on it. Anyone following French politics would know what’s up.

    Any demand to stop supporting Israel without simultaneously calling for the release of all hostages and an end to attacks on Israel is a bad, cynical joke.

    Sounds good. Doesn”t mean much.

    Besides the US gear Israel has their own industry of nasty tools.

    Funny how they went from full support to calling for an embargo tho.
