"Je ne serrerai pas la main de gens qui refusent l’existence de l’Etat d’Israël"

At the traditional dinner of the CRIF (Conseil des Institutions Juives en France) here
« Je ne serrerai pas la main de gens qui refusent l’existence de l’Etat d’Israël ». En prononçant cette phrase, le président français pensait au dirigeant iranien [et autres?] à propos duquel il considère que l’enrichissement de l’uranium est inutile dans ce pays. Toutefois, il précise que « ce serait une grave erreur de croire que le nucléaire civil soit réservé à l’Occident ».

There is also the possibility that nobody would want to shake his hands. His presidency is on a very fast track of being the most discredited presidency in France. He may not even continue his term.
As to his posturing in favor of Israel, one should ask him why does he 'shake' the hands of those who murder men, women, and children, and starve a whole population, under the flimsy pretext of self defense. It is as a given that Palestinians should be happy to live a third class citizens in a land Israel occupies against all principles of international law. Since when the Bible has become a real estate document? When will the 'business' of capitalizing on the Holocaust cease so an even handed approach to Palestinian plight can start?
