Kesher Talk

France and Israel are not the same: Binyamin Netanyahu says that the Europeans erroneously equate Israel's presence in the territories to France's colonialization of Algeria, forgetting that Israel's ties to Judea and Samaria go a bit deeper than France's 100-year connection to Algeria; that the Algerians never claimed Paris as their capital, and certainly were never committed to wiping France off the map. However, Herb Keinon notices similarities between Algeria's land-for-peace solution and what is on the table for Israel. (Jerusalem Post, May 8)
