France needs no one’s advice on fighting Islamist terror
A look at the facts. In Israel and America, France has this reputation of being the ultimate effete, left-liberal country – so politically correct, so multiculti, so morally relativist and scared to death of offending any minority, especially Muslims, that it’s incapable of dealing with the threat of jihadist terror.

By all means, François Hollande, fill that Middle East void
With the U.S. once again failing to forge peace in Israel-Palestine, why not give someone else a shot? There’s been quite a bit of talk lately on how France and Russia are attempting to exert more influence in the Middle East. The claim is that the U.S. has shown weakness in the region, and there is…
