France may have a slightly pro-arab foreign policy, but lets look at the US and what do we see.. ooo a 100% pro-israel policy. Is that right? Is Israel so right and are the Palestines so wrong?

Yes.

I dont see the problem with french government pple having links to arab leaders.. its like that everywhere , and certainly not a french monopoly.
I also dont believe in the '10% of france are muslims' argument. That doesnt imply policy makers will take account of it. Sometimes politicians even dont take account of more than half their population.. if the french govenrment was really afraid of the muslim reaction in France itself, why would it have passed the law on religious signs?
If i had been France during the difficult pre-iraq war decision days, i would have taken the same stance as the rest of the EU, like every country should have done.
