I have to give credit where credit is due.
Several French journalists stalked out of a Paris news conference when a Hezbollah official refused to answer a question from an Israeli reporter.Sety Hendler, who writes for Yediot Achronot, asked Ali Daamouch, Hezbollah’s head of exterior relations, about the status of prisoner-exchange talks with Israel. Daamouch asked Hendler his nationality, and upon hearing that he was Israeli, refused to respond to the question. Hendler left the room in protest, and several other reporters joined him in solidarity.On her way out, a French journalist chastised those who remained behind, “He refuses to respond to a Jewish Israeli journalist and you stay! It’s scandalous, it’s shameful!”A non-Israeli journalist repeated the question and received a vague response from Daamouch.
Which goes to show you that not all the French are so..French.
