No rallies against France or the USA.

The Jew haters only come out when the Jewish state dares to defend its people against Hamas maniacs. Think about that - because Israel is actually UNDER ATTACK when they battle Hamas. The USA and France are under no threat whatsoever, but Israel is bashed - not the "more civilized" USA or France.
