French President Meeting With Syrian President in Damascus Before NATO Summit in Ankara

 Nadene Goldfoot                                             


French President Emmanuel Macron visited Syria to formalize a new diplomatic and economic partnership with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa, following the ouster of Bashar al-Assad. The landmark trip—the first by a Western EU head of state since the regime change—focused on reconstruction, reopening embassies, and securing business investments. 
The landmark visit was overshadowed by a security scare. Two explosive devices blew up near the Four Seasons Hotel in Damascus, where Macron's delegation had stayed and held earlier meetings. The blasts wounded at least 18 people. Macron was unharmed, and his meetings at the presidential palace proceeded as scheduled.
The reason this should be newsworthy to Israel is that French President Emmanuel Macron and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have clashed severely over Israel's military campaign in Gaza. While Macron showed early solidarity after October 7, his stance has since hardened into sharp criticism, with France pushing to recognize a Palestinian state and demanding an arms embargo. My opinion is that a Palestinian State has been tabled for forever since October 7th.  There is no hope for pushing Palestinians to be friendly neighbors like Canada and the USA, or Mexico and USA.  It's impossible.  Palestinians and many followers of the Islam of Iran, the Shi'as, teach an extreme Islam which means to hate Jews and wipe them into the Sea.  This conclusion was come to even before October 7th happened.  For 45 years Israel has been tortured by attacks from PLO, Hamas, with all the others joining in.  No one helped Israel.  There was no NATO to step in and assist people already decimated by the Holocaust by 6 million or has everyone forgotten that?  
Now, Israel's neighbor is Syria.  Look into that, today;  run by a terrorist al Qaeda member and leader !  Trump thinks Jolani could take Hezbollah in a minute, better than slower Israel.  Yikes!  Sure, watch out -al Qaeda morals and tactics can show the world what real attacks are like, thinks Trump.  
Israel has expanded its military operations and established a continuous security footprint in southern Syria since the collapse of the Assad regime in December 2024. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) regularly conduct ground incursions and airstrikes in the Quneitra and Daraa regions, actions that the Syrian government condemns as a violation of sovereignty and the 1974 disengagement agreement. The reason is chasing terrorists who hide in Syria while shooting missiles into Israel.  Duh!  
Regional Dynamics: In addition to military engagements, the region has seen intensified competition involving Turkey, which has criticized Israel’s military expansion, and the broader fallout from regional conflicts. No doubt Turkey, Syria and France will get together at the NATO Conference to talk about Israel at great depth, more than even  in a NATO 32 member shpeil with the USA.  
Key or Other Objectives of the Meeting of Macron and Jolani
  • Economic Rebuilding: Macron was accompanied by executives from major French corporations (including TotalEnergies and CMA CGM) to map out recovery efforts and restructure Syria's banking sector. 
  • Diplomatic Normalization: The two leaders agreed to reappoint ambassadors after a decade-long freeze, effectively bringing Syria out of Western isolation. France also agreed to return more than $50 million in confiscated assets belonging to the former Assad family. 
  • Security & Geopolitics: Discussions covered ongoing counterterrorism efforts against ISIS and the push for minority protection under Syria’s new transitional government.

French Cries For Two-State Solution

 Nadene Goldfoot                                                 

Emmanuel Jean-Michel Frédéric Macron ; born 21 December 1977) is a French politician who has served as President of France and Co-Prince of Andorra since 2017. He was Minister of Economics, Industry and Digital Affairs under President François Hollande between 2014 and 2016. He has been a member of Renaissance since he founded it in 2016.                  

France is pressuring a number of Western countries to recognize a Palestinian state and formally announce it at a peace summit being organized by President Emmanuel Macron and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, to be held at the UN on June 17.  They say that France, along with many other countries, believes that a two-state solution, where an independent Palestinian state coexists with Israel, is the only viable path towards a sustainable and lasting peace in the region.

I can't believe that after October 7, 2023, anyone in their right mind would

 believe such a miracle. It's a dead issue as far as most Israelis think.  No wonder France they would have lost World War II had it not been for the United States stepping 

in.  They  gave into Germany immediately!  France surrendered to Germany in just 

six weeks,  following Germany's invasion in May 1940, with the armistice signed

 on 2, 1940. This rapid defeat was a shock to the world, given France's previous 

reputation as a strong military power. 

France's President Emmanuel Macron accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last week of "unacceptable" behaviour in holding up aid to the Palestinians in Gaza, where Israel is fighting to crush the militant group Hamas.  Netanyahu accused Macron of siding with a "murderous Islamist terrorist organisation".

, 

 In response, Israeli ambassador to the UN Danny Danon is working closely with U.S. diplomats to block the French initiative and persuade other nations not to support recognition. Israel is also preparing for an upcoming UN Security Council meeting on May 28, where several European countries are expected to push for a ceasefire in Gaza and the entry of humanitarian aid. Israel, once again working in coordination with the U.S., is hoping Washington will veto any such resolution.

                                           1947 Palestine

In 1947, the United Nations proposed the partition of Palestine into separate Jewish and Arab states, with Jerusalem as an internationally administered city. Jews were getting the desert areas.  On November 29, 1947, the United Nations General Assembly passed Resolution 181, also known as the Partition Plan, by a vote of 33 in favor, 13 against, and 10 abstentions.  The 13 countries that voted against the UN's Partition Plan for Palestine in 1947 were: Afghanistan, Cuba, Egypt, Greece, India, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Turkey, and Yemen.  The ten countries that abstained from voting on the UN Partition Plan for Palestine in 1947 were: Argentina, Chile, Colombia, El Salvador, Ethiopia, Honduras, Mexico, the Republic of China, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and Yugoslavia. 

The resolution proposed dividing Mandatory Palestine into an Arab state and a Jewish state, with Jerusalem under international administration. 

                                                                       
 

Britain received the mandate for Palestine (including Transjordan, later Jordan). France received mandates for Syria and Lebanon. These mandates were intended to help these regions prepare for independence.  LOL !   

 The plan was accepted by the Jewish community but rejected by the Arab community, leading to the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. The 1948 Arab-Israeli War, also known as the First Arab-Israeli War or Israel's War of Independence, was a conflict fought between the newly established State of Israel and a coalition of Arab states.  

The proposed Jewish state covered some 56 % of Mandate Palestine divided into three barely contiguous parts/areas: the eastern Galilee (including Safad , Tiberias , Baysan , and the Sea of Galilee ), a coastal area (about two-thirds of Palestine's coast, including Haifa , Tel Aviv , and the fertile lowland plains), and most of the Negev (excluding Bir al-Sabi' and a strip/area running about half-way down the border with Egypt , but giving access to the Red Sea ). 

Of Mandate Palestine's sixteen districts, nine were allotted to the Jewish state, only one of which had a Jewish majority; the UN-proposed Jewish state as a whole had an Arab “minority” approaching 47 percent. 

The announcement of the UN acceptance of partition was met in Arab Palestine by a general strike and demonstrations; some—in Jerusalem and elsewhere—turned to destructive riots. Meanwhile, emboldened by the international imprimatur given by the UN decision, the Zionist military organizations attacked Arab villages and residential quarters before launching the highly organized campaigns of Plan Dalet starting in early April 1948. Villagers together with the more organized Arab volunteer and irregular forces defended their territory and attacked Zionist areas. This “civil war” phase of the 1947–49 Palestine War ended with Israel's declaration of statehood on 15 May 1948.

    Still wearing their holocaust clothing, these Jews went from ship to defending.  

At the time many Jews had arrived that had survived WWII and were in bad 

condition, but they did their best and joined their friends in defending the land. 

While the Jewish community largely accepted this plan, the Arab community rejected it, leading to the outbreak of civil war.  Why did they reject the offer?  Their leadership of other Arab countries planned on them getting it all without any Jews.  


They were deep into Hitler's rants and raves in the book, Mein Kampf.  Mein Kampf (Arabic: كفاحي, romanized: Kifāḥī; lit. 'My Struggle'), Adolf Hitler's 900-page autobiography outlining his political views, has been translated into Arabic a number of times since the early 1930s.  The first attempts to translate Mein Kampf into Arabic were extracts in various Arab newspapers in the early 1930s. 

Journalist and Arab nationalist Yunus al-Sabawi published translated extracts in the Baghdad newspaper al-Alam al-Arabi, alarming the Baghdadi Jewish community. Lebanese newspaper Al Nida also separately published extractions in 1934. The German consulate denied it had been in touch with Al Nida for these initial translations.

In 1937, the Peel Commission’s first partition plan for Palestine suggested the creation of a small Jewish sub-state in Palestine. This alerted Nazi Germany which now started to incite Arab antisemitism in a systematic and massive way. However, and this is of importance, Berlin discovered that its concept of racial antisemitism did not find fertile ground in Muslim communities.

“The level of education of the broad masses is not advanced enough for the understanding of the race theory”, wrote a leading Nazi in Egypt. “The broad masses lack a feeling for the race idea” explained also the instructor for propaganda at the German embassy in Tehran in a letter to the Foreign Office in Berlin, and therefore recommended.

Khartoum, African meeting after 1967 War...licking their wounds of losing again

Jews had to again after (1947-1949) War of Independence,  defend their land in 1956; 1967(Khartoum Meeting, 3 NO's against peace with Israel after losing this war) ; 1973, 1982, in wars.


The first king of Iraq was Faisal I (Feisal, Ibn Hussein-1885-1933), who was installed by the British in 1921. He ruled from 1921 until his death in 1933. He was also the designated king of Syria. He was the 1st to 

be sympathetic to Zionism from which he hoped to receive aid  in

which to build his future kingdom. He changed sides as he saw

what his future people were like and became negative towards Israel.   

 The last King of Iraq was Faisal II. He reigned from 1939 to 1958, when he was killed during the 14 July Revolution, which also marked the end of the Hashemite monarchy in Iraq. 

In every which way, by Nazis and by their own rejection of Jews; competitors of their religion (Islam) as they see it, Arabs had not accepted  Jews in the territory.  They had their new modified religion of Mohammad (570-632) while Jews came from a Judaism of 3,500 years earlier. Jews were so Western and they had their eastern ways.  To them, the acceptance was deplorable. In reality, Mohammad had copied a lot of Judaism.  (One difference was that of education.  Jews had found that learning was the saving grace for their people; math, reading, financing; and Muslims had not changed or learned.
