In late November, Israeli Prime Minister 'Bibi' Netanyahu was asked "about the upcoming French Parliament vote to recognize a Palestinian State." Netanyahu gave an angry reply, which he re-tweeted later. He began with a rant about murderous Islamists, asking "Does anyone in Paris talk about this? This is what they have to do now when the world is exploding? I think this is a terribly misguided position. You know, we don't come out and say what countries or what regions of France should be independent...When Israel- the only democracy- is standing with France and with Europe to fight the Islamist fires..." After the Paris attacks, however, Netanyahu took a much gentler tone, sending a supportive series of tweets to Paris: "I'm on my way to #Paris, to stand against the Islamic terrorism that is threatening all of humanity. My message, in Paris, in Jerusalem, anywhere: first rule in fighting terrorism is to refuse to be afraid. I've decided to fly to France tomorrow to express solidarity with the Jewish community, the French people and the free world countries."

Bibi was red-hot pissed that France wasn't freaked out about Islamic terrorism. Then they had their event. Coincidence? You decide.
