Washington (CNN)—The heads of Great Britain, Germany and Israel were there.

But President Barack Obama didn't attend a unity march in Paris on Sunday, days after the deadly attack on the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo. Nor did his secretary of state, John Kerry, who has deep ties to France

British Prime Minister David Cameron, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov were among those who attended, along with religious leaders.

Speaking on air with CNN's Jake Tapper, who was at the rally, "Global Public Square" host Fareed Zakaria called the absence of top officials a mistake.

France is the United States' "deepest ideological ally," he said, and it would have been a meaningful image to have a senior administration member, or the President, standing shoulder to shoulder with other leaders.

Turns out Obama took a 3 day weekend to get in some golfing to recover from his 15 days Hawaii vacation while Michelle and members of her staff spent the weekend in Chicago attending a wedding. No word on where their daughters flew off to for the weekend.

Even the liberal French felt the Obama Administration was way out of line for not showing support against Islamic terrorists during the rally.

CNN is busy race-baiting with Trayvon and Missouri cases, but sending the racist Holder to Paris just showed Obama's continued misunderstanding of terrorism as a law enforcement matter.

It is a national security matter.

Clinton made the same mistake long ago when he was handed bin Laden on a silver platter, but declined.

I was not surprised that Obama did not show up and marched in Paris. The Muslim world would have been disappointed if he had.

French President Francois Hollande asked Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to come to Paris for the march against terror on Sunday, but the Israel premier decided to attend anyway after hearing that political rivals were going to be there, according to an Israeli source who was involved in the contacts between the Elysees Palace and the Prime Minister’s Office in Jerusalem. The fact that this message had been conveyed was first reported by Channel 2.

After the French government began to send invitations to world leaders to participate in the rally against terror, Hollande’s national security adviser, Jacques Audibert, contacted his Israeli counterpart, Yossi Cohen, and said that Hollande would prefer that Netanyahu not attend, the source said.

Audibert explained that Hollande wanted the event to focus on demonstrating solidarity with France, and to avoid anything liable to divert attention to other controversial issues, like Jewish-Muslim relations or the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Audibert said that Hollande hoped that Netanyahu would understand the difficulties his arrival might pose and would announce that he would not be attending.

New York, February 21, 2013--An Israeli court yesterday extended the detention of Palestinian cartoonist Mohammad Saba'aneh, who has been held since Saturday without charge or access to his lawyer, according to news reports. The Committee to Protect Journalists calls on authorities to immediately release the political cartoonist and allow him access to his lawyer.....

.....A Twitter account from a group identifying itself as Anonymous said Monday it had tracked the source of the hack to Maryland, but that was not confirmed by official sources....

they're tricking and hacking themselves... :lol:

[johnforbes]

Speaking of insane things, what amount of our tax dollars go to military units having Twitter and Youtube accounts?

And that's without even considering how vulnerable they were to hacking.

Is this man really an Harvard professor?

[johnforbes]

Dershowitz was one of the youngest professors there.

He is correct in what he said, although we all wish it were otherwise.

France used to be a great country in history, but it lost it all with socialism and bad immigration policy.

Unfortunately, the US -- and the UK and Sweden and Denmark, et al -- are trudging down the same mistaken path.

(JTA) — Veteran CNN anchor Jim Clancy stepped down on Friday, one week after a series of Twitter posts in which he mocked pro-Israel tweeters on a thread discussing the Charlie Hebdo massacre.

Neither CNN nor Jim Clancy gave a reason for his departure, which was reported by AdWeek. Clancy had worked at CNN for 34 years.

Although Clancy’s Twitter account no longer existed as of Thursday, the tweets have been preserved on a number of websites, including Twitchy and Mediaite, and by Tablet journalist Yair Rosenberg.

On Jan. 7, Clancy posted a tweet arguing that the cartoons posted by the French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo, which was attacked last week by Islamist gunmen who killed 12, did not mock the Muslim prophet Muhammad.

“The cartoons NEVER mocked the Prophet,” he wrote. “They mocked how the COWARDS tried to distort his word. Pay attention.”.....

yeah, free speech, right......

....Law Professor Jonathan Turley said so-called French support for freedom features crackdowns on free speech.

“If the French really wanted to honor the dead at Charlie Hebdo, they would rescind the laws” threatening free expression with “criminal prosecution.”

“(N)ews (reports) indicate that the French government is doubling down on criminalizing speech in the name of free speech after the massacre.”...
