Chirac tells Sharon he is not welcome in France: TV


French President Jacques Chirac informed Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon he is not welcome in Paris after he urged all French Jews to leave the country immediately, Israeli television reported.

Chirac had written that "after some weeks of contacts concerning such a visit it turns out that it is impossible ... and you are not welcome following your comments," according to Channel 2 television.

An Israeli foreign ministry government spokesman refused to comment on "confidential messages."

Sharon sparked anger in Paris with a speech on Sunday in which he urged all French Jews to move immediately to Israel in order to escape what he called the "spread of the wildest anti-Semitism".

The French foreign office has described Sharon's comments as "unacceptable."



And the growing cases of anti-semitism in France perpetrated by north african immigrants is acceptable?

Way to go Ariel and hurry up and finish that wall, it's working great

[Popps]

Yea, I'm surprised Chirac isn't sending Sharon a gift package and a thank you note.

The French have been trying to get rid of the Jews for decades. They couldn't load them up in boxcars fast enough during WWII.

[Exile_In_SJ]

Agreed Popps, the french like to portray themselves as resisting the Germans during WWII, but in fact the vast majority collaborated with the Nazis. And in Vichy France they set up their own puppet regime...

But of course every frenchman was secretly a member of the resistance...right.

[Exile_In_SJ]

chuckling at your sig line... how true.

[BroncoHI]

Israel should send over a couple of guys and a tank to invade France so they will surrender.

[Hercules Rockefeller]

Don't you think that might be overkill though? It won't take that much to take France.

Alright, forget the tank

[kappys]

Just emit some greenhouse gases over their air.

Didn't something like 200 people die in their "heat wave" last year?

Thought it was a few thousand, but that wasn't enough for Chirac to cut short his vacation.

[BroncoHI]

I wonder how bad they stank, the surviors of course, during the heat wave.

Hundreds of thier elderly died from the heat... no air conditioning and no relief.

[Tombstone RJ]

The French are alot like the Communists used to be in that they cater to the lowest forms of government in order to win their approval. They are now rubbing elbows with terrorists in order to win over diplomatic ties. The poor dumb french bastards, they are too pathetic to pity.

Duh! I just pitied them! :cuss:

[Exile_In_SJ]

When the Israelis use violence, it's almost always to protect themselves and take out terrorists. When the Muslim fanatics use violence it's to kill innocent victims and to make a media spalsh. of course the Israelis wouldn't bomb a commuter train. Why? The Islamic fanatics did and they'd do it again.

France is a country full of Girlymen, to paraphrase ahnold..

20,000. I still can't believe it. They can't afford to buy air conditioners for the elderly when 80 percent of their energy is nuclear powered? God I hate those bastards.

Evidently that was when the Doctors take their vacation in Vichy France near
Manatee Beach. (Caan)

The Palestinean Authority is in total shambles, (supported by the EU), riddled with corruption, Arafat is mad with power.

Israel is UNILATERALLY withdrawing to let them argue among themselves, having given up after decades of efforts at peace. Screw Arafat, Screw Chirac and his immagrant Workers, and Screw Vichy France.

PARIS, France -- The heat wave that oppressed Europe this month may have killed nearly 20,000 people across the continent, latest estimates show.

The largest toll by far is in France, where the government is working to determine how many of an estimated 13,600 additional deaths in August were directly caused by the heat.

Pictures of hundreds of unclaimed corpses piling up in refrigerated trucks have shocked the French, who are debating whether to scrap a national holiday to finance better care for the elderly -- the main victims of the hottest weather in 60 years.

In Spain, a rights group says the heat killed 2,000 people, far more than the government estimate of 101, Reuters reported. Portugal, where heat-sparked fires destroyed swathes of forests, says the scorching weather killed 1,300 there.

Italy is investigating reports that deaths increased 20 percent. Although a final death toll won't be ready until September, the country's health chief has already proposed a tax to provide better services for the elderly.

Countries like Italy and Spain appear to have been spared the brunt of the fatalities because summers there are normally hotter and many homes have fans or air conditioning.

The normally mild Netherlands and Britain also are counting heat wave victims.

Dutch health officials said between 500 and 1,000 died from the heat, and Britain reported 907 more deaths in the week to August 15 than in an average year, Reuters said.

Germany, which has been less humid than its neighbors to the south and west, has no official estimate yet.

"We are all guilty. Even if the figures aren't definite, we know several thousand people died, which is a tragedy, and shows the system isn't working properly," Jean-Louis Sanchez, head of French welfare rights group ODAS, told LCI television.

"This mostly concerned frail, often isolated, elderly people who were very vulnerable," Reuters quoted Sanchez as saying.

While some French blame the government for not reacting fast enough to the crisis, Sanchez said families needed to take more responsibility for caring for elderly relatives.

Many elderly died while relatives fled for the traditional August holiday, leaving many French guilt-stricken.

"450 forgotten deaths. Everyone is guilty," was the front-page headline in this week's Le Parisien newspaper on the number of unclaimed corpses headed for temporary burials in pauper's graves.

"In what kind of conditions are we living that we forget about our fathers, mothers, grandparents?" Le Parisien said.


The heat wave showed the vulnerability of Europe's elderly.
While the government and the French Red Cross have cast doubt on an estimated death toll of 13,600 -- calculated by a major funeral parlor as a national projection of its own business -- many in France are calling for a full inquiry.

"Our neighbors in Germany, Belgium and Luxembourg have been subjected to the same heat wave and it seems the consequences in those countries have been less severe," said Jean-Louis Debre, national assembly president. "We need to find out why."

On Wednesday, it emerged that the government was considering ending one of the country's 11 national holidays to generate revenue to finance elderly care.

"It's one of the possibilities, among many others, to try to find genuine solidarity in the nation," secretary of state for the elderly Hubert Falco said after a Cabinet meeting, The Associated Press reported.

"It would be ... a holiday that would be worked to the advantage of national solidarity."

No decision has been made on which holiday could be abolished. Falco said, but the idea -- radical in a country where leisure time is sacrosanct -- provoked an immediate split of opinion.

The head of the leading business federation called it "fantastic!" A leading Communist Party lawmaker was outraged. Other government ministers debated which holiday should go.

America Knows damn well we cant make a terrorist a friend , we have tried that .......

[Tombstone RJ]

Yeah those silly Bastards will learn just like Saudi Arabia ................ You cant make a terrorist a friend ..........

The sad thing is that when the French are dessimated by a terrorist attack, they'll probably blame the Israelis and the U.S.

No ****, that is exactly what they will do.

[watermock]

The French are more comfortable supressing the Muslim minority service worker. They don't have a clue they are being slowly infiltrated.

This is their appeasement policy at it's finest. Slow Surrender.

I still don't think the Germans and the French really like each other. They've been at each other's throat for 700 years and now they are buddy-buddy? Yah, right.

They'll be at each other's throat again, when the time is right. And, we all know the German's will win that battle, again....

[Sideburn]

Honestly, I say we just fire off every nuke we have and end this crap. When the few hundred thousand survivors crawl out from the caves, we can have peace and harmony...
