- For our
ambassadors, terrorism does not exist in "Palestine". They
just whisper Quixotically about "the need for security" for
Israel.
- The obvious
conclusion is that they are just trying to hide their own detestation
of Israel behind the Arab one.
- The problem is
not Jewish "settlers" in "Palestine". Before 1967,
there were no settlements, then what was the Palestine
Liberation Organization "liberating" when it was created in
Cairo in 1964? The answer, as the PLO was the first to admit, was
"Palestine" -- meaning the entire state of Israel, regarded
by many Arabs as just one big settlement. Just look any Palestinian
map.
- The problem is
that these ambassadors are not as dangerous to Israel as they are to
Europe and the free world, as they keep on succumbing to the demands
of Islam.

Do not forget these names: Yves Aubin de La Messuzière; Denis
Bauchard; Philippe Coste; Bertrand Dufourcq; Christian Graeff; Pierre Hunt;
Patrick Leclercq; Stanislas de Laboulaye; Jean-Louis Lucet; Gabriel Robin;
Jacques-Alain de Sédouy and Alfred Siefer-Gaillardin.
These men are retired French ambassadors. They are apparently well
educated, very polite and aristocratic people and they regularly publish
op-eds in Le Monde. However, they publish in Le Monde only to
threaten Israel.
Their most recent op-ed in Le Monde on January 9, 2017, was to
explain how an international conference on the Middle East, the one which
scheduled for January 15 in Paris, would be beneficial for the
"security" of Israel. Their text is a discouraging enumeration of
traditional clichés of France's hypocritical diplomacy.

- Israel has always
been appreciative of New Delhi's security imperatives. New Delhi,
however has yet to be fully appreciative of Israel's security
imperatives.
- New Delhi has yet
to be morally conscientious enough openly to back Israel in
multilateral fora such as the United Nations. One hopes Prime Minister
Modi would show the statesmanlike leadership at which he is so expert
and which makes him so admired.
- Israel stands and
fights for openness, diversity, truth and its existence, just as India
does. India must back Israel. New Delhi also needs Jerusalem in
combating Islamist terrorism, one of the greatest threats to its unity
and territorial integrity.
- The operational
code of anti-India Islamist forces' behaviour is similar to that of
Israel's Palestinian counterparts: spread the culture of hatred and
violence against the free world. Israel knows better than anyone it
how best to protect it against such elements.

Ever since former Indian Prime Minister P. V. Narsimha Rao decided in
January 1992 to establish full diplomatic ties with Israel, relations
between the two democracies have flourished in all fields. Socially, there
have been unprecedented people-to-people exchanges. Today over 40,000
Israelis travel to India annually. Since the Israeli poet Amir Or
translated the famous Indian epic he Mahabharata into Hebrew in
1998, more books of Indian poetry have been translated into Hebrew.
Economically, technologically and militarily, relations between India
and Israel also have moved from strength to strength. In 1992 trade between
the two nations stood at a meagre $100 million. Today this stands at $5
billion with the possibility of its being tripled if a free trade agreement
is concluded between the two nations.
