French MP Meyer Habib: “The Paris conference proves we have lost all shame”

“The drafts of this conference’s conclusion, which were leaked by the media, leave no room to doubt the organizers’ intentions… There’s not a word mentioned about the Palestinian Authority’s resistance to peace, or about Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish country with any kind of borders.

By MICHAEL WILNER
