Gaza mob tosses shoes at French foreign minister
2011-01-21
Michèle Alliot-Marie, the Foreign Minister of France, was mobbed by Paleo protesters in Gaza on Friday. They threw shoes at the motorcade carrying her into the Gaza Strip.

The rabble was protesting comments misattributed to Alliot-Marie by the Arab service of Israeli radio after meeting the parents of Gilad Shalit.

Alliot-Marie was supposed to have said the European Union "must condemn the war crime that Hamas is committing by keeping Gilad Shalit in captivity".
Quelle horreur!
However, she had not made that statement, even though Shalit's father had asked her to pressure the EU to denounce his son's captivity as a war crime.
As if they care whether he really said it or not. Since they can't throw shoes at brutally murder Shalit's father, throwing shoes at the French foreign minister will have to do.

#1  Obviously too much aid to these barbarians if they have extra shoes to throw. Make them go barefoot.
