'Anti-Semitic' French envoy under fire

An international spat has developed over disparaging comments about Israel allegedly made by the French ambassador to London at a private dinner party.

During a conversation about the Middle East crisis with the owner of the Daily Telegraph newspaper, Conrad Black, ambassador Daniel Bernard is reported to have spoken about "that shitty little country Israel".

The buffet party comment subsequently became the subject of a Daily Telegraph column written by Mr Black's wife, journalist Barbara Amiel, who depicted her guest as an anti-Semite.

The remark has since sparked outrage in Israel - where the prime minister's spokesman has described it as "a pure anti-Semitic expression" - and among pro-Israeli British MPs, who have penned demands for Mr Bernard's resignation.
He has no intention of apologising - he doesn't feel there is any need for him to do so. . . . . . . more

Yes, the signs of the times...

Just as I posted on CIP...the billboard in NM about stop sending billions to Israel...

Shock me, seeing it, being we don't have it 'yet', in Texas..
