    Macron doesn’t know much history, does it? Israel would be created by UN decision if Palestinian Arabs accepted the UN plan. They didn’t. Instead, civil war erupted and Britain said “fick it, I am going home”. Then Israel declared independence and fought several wars for it.

    > By: NEWS WIRES. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should not forget his country was created as a result of a resolution adopted by the United Nations, French President Emmanuel Macron told cabinet on Tuesday, urging Israel to abide by UN decisions.

    > Tensions have increased between Netanyahu and Macron with the French leader last week insisting that stopping the export of weapons used by Israel in Gaza and Lebanon was the only way to stop the conflicts.

    > "Mr Netanyahu must not forget that his country was created by a decision of the UN," Macron told the weekly French cabinet meeting, referring to the resolution adopted in November 1947 by the United Nations General Assembly on the plan to partition Palestine into a Jewish state and an Arab state.

  3. Was it UN that defended Israel when 7 Arab countries attacked it on the day it was “created by UN decision”?

    What a clown

    And then the UN sent peacekeepers to defend said UN decision which was respected by Arab nations, right?

    France must have forgotten its history when they tried to stop Jews from living in its ancestral lands in the 1800s and inflamed Jew hatred as a way to limit British influence in the region and control of resources. But go off macron

  6. Well gawd dam!

    I do think that while we’re acknowledging that fact then we must also acknowledge the fact that the UN was not fair in how they gave them that land. Their actions caused the current inevitability to occur in the first place.

    The only reason why the UN handed that land to them was because of the lack of organized government. Thats it. If the Palestinians had what modern world at the time deemed a functional government, boy oh boy would this be real different.

  7. Israel absolutely wasn’t created by a UN decision. The UNGA voted in favor of partition, true, but UNGA votes don’t worth the paper they are written on. It was a recommendation for action by the security council, which never carried it out.

    Israel had zero help from the UN during the Independence War.

  8. And the comeback? Well, if your country didn’t actively assist in the Holocaust, maybe we wouldn’t be having this conversation.

    So is Macron suddenly talking about Israel all the time now to distract people from his failing presidency and idiotic political maneuvering or what?

  10. Israelis are like the replicants.

    Ooh..is that bad thing to say?

    They did get memories inserted into them though, like they were chosen by god or some shit like that.

    Israel really needs to watch itself. Saber-rattling without any sense of diplomacy or cooperation is how you become a pariah state. Does North Korea’s nuclear arsenal make anyone like them anymore, or do we simply roll our eyes and say “yeah OK weirdo, please f*ck off now”?

    What’s it gonna do? USA and EU keeps feeding the monster no matter what. You killed our civilian citizen in Gaza? Np, here is some more bombs.

    All about the fucking money lol. That’s what happens when your biggest financial contributors and the media is owned by them.

    Uhm… I guess that means France should do whatever the US, Russia or the UK says because they are the only reason the French aren’t speaking German?

  14. Not true, they won many wars to ensure their independence. Also, France is a country created by the Anglos after WW2, otherwise it would have remained Germany on the north and a German puppet on the south or the Anglos could have done anything after winning the war, they were very generous with France and tried to keep French honor at all time when they didn’t have to.
