Paris peace confab

Regarding “Netanyahu tells French FM: ‘Paris initiative could harm regional peace efforts’” (June 5), organizing a peace conference without Israel and the Palestinians seems like organizing a wedding with plenty of guests and well-wishers – but without the bride and groom.

Clearly, the God of Israel is angry with the French for convening an international conference of foreign ministers to discuss Middle East peace, but excluding Israel. He has sent a flood to punish French President François Hollande and his countrymen (“French prime minister Valls says Seine stable after floods kill four,” June 5).

I hate to think what will happen to Paris if the conference tries to impose a solution on the Land of Israel. Perhaps this should teach the world not to mess with us.
