Sharon Not Welcome in France

Well, the riff between France and Israel widens:

President Jacques Chirac said Monday that the Israeli leader would not be welcome here until he gave a satisfactory explanation for saying Jews should go to Israel to escape anti-Semitism in France.

Go read the entire article. It provides some good background on France's past relations with Israel. Once considered allies, that's no longer the case.

I do not feel sorry for them at all.
