France Bars Israel from Defense Show

Israel is defending her ancestral homeland and her people.

What the hell is France doing in New Caledomia? Quasimodo the hunchback can’t see his own hunch.

Speaking of which, that the hell is France doing occupying these lands?

In the Americas: Îles des Saintes, Marie-Galante, Guadeloupe, Martinique, French Guiana, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, Collectivity of Saint Martin, Saint Barthélemy and Clipperton Island.

Or Malta in Southern Europe.

Or Mayotte or Réunion in East Africa.

Or Wallis and Futuna in Oceania.

Or Crozet Islands, Kerguelen Islands, Île Amsterdam, Île Saint-Paul and Adélie Land in In Antarctica.

The French government has declared a state of emergency in its South Pacific island territory of New Caledonia after deadly violence erupted for a third day Wednesday, with armed clashes between protesters, militias and police, and buildings and cars set on fire in the capital.

At least four people have died in the unrest, which is considered the worst since the 1980s. In the capital Noumea, authorities have imposed a curfew and closed the main airport — usually a busy tourist hub — to commercial traffic. They have also banned public gatherings, carrying weapons and selling alcohol.

The violence is the latest outburst of political tensions that have simmered for years and pitted the island’s largely pro-independence indigenous Kanak communities — who have long chafed against rule by Paris – against French inhabitants opposed to breaking ties with their motherland.

Protests began Monday involving mostly young people, in response to the tabling of a vote 10,000 miles (17,000 kilometers) away in the French parliament proposing changes to New Caledonia’s constitution that would give greater voting rights to French residents living on the islands. On Tuesday, legislators voted overwhelmingly in favor of the change.

“The last two days we’ve seen violence of a scale we haven’t seen for 30 years in New Caledonia,” Denise Fisher, a former Australian Consul-General in New Caledonia, told CNN. “It is kind of marking the end of 30 years of peace.”
