Paris Lost Credibility Supporting Israel: Ken O`Keefe (VIDEO)

France supposedly is very supportive of the Palestinians? Well, this is absolute nonsense unless we consider shallow talk with no actual meaningful physical action behind it, substantial; and it is not.

Did France object to its partners (Iran says most of the time in Geneva was spent on discussions between themselves) who then changed their original draft agreement (which Iran was prepared to sign) to something Iran would not sign?

(PORTLAND, OR) - Below is just one sample of the contradictory media narratives of what happened at the Geneva negotiation between five of the nuke powers (plus Germany) and Iran.

Everyone assumed they were going to be just between the US (and its noisy “strategic partner, Israel) and Iran, but then came the news that France was the obstacle to at least a preliminary deal.
