Mr. Palestinian who cannot even give his name:
We the French, Jews or not, love Israel for its courage and right to exist and defend itself. The land of Israel belongs to the Jews says the Bible. France as a democracy and as the country of human rights has the right to host book fairs, publish TV, radio interviews, and books about Israel or the Jews, or about any other people, including yours. Israel is the only democracy in the middle East. You represent a group of people that never respected human life and freedom of expression and use civilians as human shields. The proof is that you can use Haaretz, a Jewish/Israeli newspaper to express your opinions but I will never be able to express mine in any muslim country or media, or in the territories which your people occupy (Gaza and West Bank/Cisjordanie).
