French President Emmanuel Macron angrily shouted at Israeli police while visiting the Church of Saint Anne on the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem’s Old City, which is French territory. It is not clear why he became angry with the Israeli security officials.
Although there is no confirmation what caused his outburst, it is possible that the Church is reportedly French territory where Israeli police do not have jurisdiction.
In 1996, French President Jacques Chirac grabbed an Israeli plainclothes security officer in the Old City of Jerusalem and shouted: “I’m starting to be fed up with this. What do you want? Do you want me to go back to my plane and go back to France? This is a provocation. It must stop.”

Go back to France anti semite
Yes! Go to your plane and get out of Israel. You French fried Anti Semite. Go back to your garbage little country. Good riddance.
So this piece of dirt doesn’t want Jews in France nor does he want them at home in Israel. Let’s all boycott anything French made: include French toast, French fries and French’s mustard to add to the list for an added bonus!

Time to end this nonsense of France having an extraterritorial church in Israel!
Firstly, France is a secular republic. Laïcity is one of the principal pillars of the French Constitution.
Secondly, Napoleon III, that inept and disastrous usurping emporer, used French claimed or pretended rights of protection and extraterritoriality in such a ridiculous way that it led to the Crimean War.
Go Tax em Mr. Trump
They should take it away from France. It’s jewish land.
why do the Zionists allow so many churches in OUR city? how many churches or shuls are there in Mecca?
He can go home to his Muslim country
According to Bechadrei Chareidim this church is the headoffice of a French branch of de BDS movement. No wonder he didn’t want the Israeli police snooping around there
what were the rules that he was referring to? who was attempting to change them?
They don’t like provocations. They prefer to stay Vichy washy.
The status of the French “national domains” in Jerusalem is not clear. France claims them, but Israel has never officially recognized that claim. The so-called “Fischer-Chauvel agreement” did so, but Israel never ratified it, precisely because it didn’t want to make that concession.
Chash, the rule was that since (according to France) the church is French territory, just like a consulate, therefore Israeli police are not allowed to set foot there. Since (according to Israel) it is Israeli territory, the police go there as they do everywhere else.
“americaisover”, what has Mecca got to do with it? Even if you could make an argument for not allowing Sunni mosques until there are shuls in Mecca, how does that help you get rid of churches? Or even Shi’ite mosques? Or even Sunni mosques that are not under the Saudi government’s control (i.e. almost all of them)?
Or are you arguing that the Saudis are right?! That Mecca is right not to allow non-Moslems, and that we should hold that up as the right and proper way to behave?!
You may as well ask “Why do we have freedom of speech, when China doesn’t?”!
meshuga obviously no one here thinks with a glatte kup , were in golus and we can’t HOG EVERYTHING macaroon is right keep a LOW profile and not everything is yours .you hisgarus baumousnikers . nut jobs everyone hates us because ywn makes ruckus enough enough enough!
Milhouse sets out the position very clearly. It should have been obvious to the Israeli security forces that having uniformed Israeli security forces inside what it is well known the French consider their national territory, was likely to cause a diplomatic riot. The Israelis should have offered the Fench a deal in writing, either we will not enter the church at your specific request and you accept full responsibility for your President’s security or we will, with your agreement, guard him inside the church. In either case, the document could have been worded to neither admit or forgo French sovereignty. Sometimes diplomats work better than soldiers and policemen.
MACRON with a chuckle is a fool____his childish temperament only enhances the need for his Nanny Wife to give him a much needed spanking……I hope he reads lips
when he is stabbed by an arab terrorist, let him alone
Since this has happened once before with a French president, the plans should have included what to do regarding accompanying Macron on this visit. So much logistics went into coordinating thus event, why was thus possible scenario not anticipated? Let him be protected by French police in the church. And if his Arab buddies prove their duplicity by bumping him off, zat iz too bad Merci beaucoup.
He still thinks the Jew will bow to him. We have a police and an army . No more being sheep going to the slaughter house. Go back to your cockroach infested country .
As for you genuk shin , you sound very incoherent, stay in galus , enjoy the goyim, you can have them.
Stupid Israelis Always staying on the way where they don’t belong Those weak uneducated so called police Israel is full of them
I think half of the chilony population are law enforcement or military (such a successful country)
Maniacs step out of the way Don’t enter a building were you don’t belong & have some respect for the rest of the world not just Trump
