Not waiting to see if they are actually convicted... [IsraelTimes]Gay Paree cites spiraling West Bank violence in recent months, says onus is on Israel’s government to stop it.
But no French sanctions of the Palestinians who have been attacking for years, or for the Palestinian Authority government which has been pensioning those jailed for it.
