Bibi Netanyahu asserts that Macron is "standing with Hamas"

The latest diplomatic spat between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and French President Emmanuel Macron is a stark reminder of the moral chasm that divides those who confront evil head-on and those who prefer the luxury of posturing from afar.

On Wednesday, the two leaders exchanged sharp condemnations over Israel’s siege of the Gaza Strip, a blockade tightened after Hamas, those scumcrumpets of barbarism, scuttled a six-week ceasefire on March 2, refusing to extend it with further hostage releases. Israel’s response was to bar aid transfers to Gaza, a move it deems essential to squeeze the Islamist terror group. Predictably, this has drawn the ire of certain Western leaders, none more vocal than Macron, whose sanctimonious pronouncements have become a tiresome feature of his presidency. 

It seems that Israel is the only country in the world where once attacked, they should not attack back so hard. Must Israel kill the same number of terrorists, kidnap the same number, mutilate, burn, torture the same number of Gazan civilians as Hamas, et al, did on October 7, 2023? The world loves dead Jews and hates us when we fight back, especially when we're winning.

Macron, garbage human that he is, is never one to miss an opportunity for grandstanding. He unleashed a tirade against Israel, singling out Netanyahu with a venom that betrays more than a hint of personal animus. “What the government of Benjamin Netanyahu is doing is unacceptable,” he declared on TF1, his voice dripping with the self-righteous indignation of a man who has never faced an existential threat.

“There is no water, no medicine, the wounded cannot get out, the doctors cannot get in. What he is doing is shameful.” Think about this: what country on earth is expected to feed the enemy? Did England do that after they bombed Dresden in WW2? Did we do it after we dropped the big bombs on Japan? The West had intentionally killed civilians to end the war, while Israel bends over backwards not to kill civilians because like Hebrew National hotdogs, they must live up to a higher standard.

Not content with this, Macron called on the Trump administration to wield its influence—read: American weapons—to force Israel to relent. “We need the United States. President Trump has the levers. I have had tough words with Prime Minister Netanyahu. I got angry, but they don’t depend on us; they depend on American weapons.” 

One can almost hear the Gallic shrug, as if the complexities of a multi-front war could be reduced to a transatlantic arm-twist. Where was he when the United States saved France from the Germans? Oh, yes, he wasn't born then so it didn't happen.

Netanyahu, to his credit, did not mince words in return. “Macron has once again chosen to stand with a murderous Islamist terrorist organization and echo its despicable propaganda, accusing Israel of blood libels,” he fired back in a statement from the Prime Minister’s Office. 

And of course Bibi isn't wrong. 

Israel, let us not forget, is fighting for its survival after the unspeakable atrocities of October 7, when Hamas butchered and kidnapped scores, including French nationals. “Instead of supporting the Western democratic camp fighting the Islamist terrorist organizations and calling for the release of the hostages, Macron is once again demanding that Israel surrender and reward terrorism,” Netanyahu’s statement continued. “Israel will not stop and will not surrender.” 

Nor should it. To do so would be to capitulate not just to Hamas but to the very ideology that seeks to annihilate the Jewish state and, make no mistake, the civilized world beyond.

And yes, they'll be coming for Christians too and then the gays, atheists, and all who don't pray to the pagan Mecca stone.

This is not the first time Macron has indulged in such moral equivocation. Just a month ago, he took to Twitter—sorry, X—to proclaim France’s position: “Yes to peace. Yes to Israel’s security. Yes to a Palestinian state without Hamas.” 

The naivety is breathtaking, as if a Palestinian state could simply materialize without the taint of terror, and as if Hamas’s removal could be achieved by fiat rather than force. Netanyahu rightly called this “severely mistaken,” warning Macron in a phone call that such a state would be nothing less than a reward for the October 7 savagery. 

Less diplomatically, Yair Netanyahu, Bibi's son, took to X with a blistering retort: “Screw you! Yes to independence of New Caledonia! Yes to independence to French Polynesia! Yes to independence of Corsica! Yes to independence of the Basque Country! Yes to independence of French Guinea! Stop the neo imperialism of France in West Africa!” 

Crude, perhaps, but it exposes the blatant hypocrisy of a garbage French president who lectures Israel on sovereignty while clinging to France’s own colonial relics.

What we see here is a familiar pattern: a European leader, insulated by geography and history, casting judgment on a nation under siege. Macron’s words are not just misguided; they are dangerous, lending succor to those who would see Israel erased. 

Netanyahu’s resolve, by contrast, is the bulwark of a nation that knows the cost of weakness. In this clash of worldviews, the choice is clear: stand with the defenders of civilization or with those who, wittingly or not, abet its enemies. 

Macron has made his clear anti-Semitic choice. Let us hope others choose more wisely.

Am Yisrael Chai!
