When Israel Stole Its Own Missile Boats from France 

And then they rioted

THIS ! the french people and the french governement are always divided . But in this case ... I dont even vote , that show you how i trust the "représentation" nationale .

i'm French, i hate my governement, simple as

Now this is the movie adaptation I would love to see. Pity that Peter Sellers could not play a cameo Clouseau role~

I'm still laughing at that one.

@@slypear Great idea.

Advanced weaponry like aircraft and missles are very high visibility to the public. And i feel decisions on what to buy is really affected by who's using them and how well they've done. So yeah, having mirages fight migs in the desert was definitely a good thing for french industry.They did sell a lot during that time (war of attrition). In general, very weird, inconsistent, and contradictive policy decions by the West since...

Unfortunately the west is obsessed with making the Middle East like then so they do things against their interest

Instead Israel has been putting many variants of the F15 to great use, massively contributing to the outstanding record and reputation of the King of the Skies F15. They also have put F16s and now F35s to good use. The Rafale is a great jet, no doubt. But despite all the hate it gets, much of it programmatic and justified, the F35 is truly outstanding when you actually understand it's role and the mindset shift required to fully implement 5th gen jets. It really is a gamechanger in fighter aviation. That thing is an absolute unit.

As if Israel was biggest customer. Middle East alone was far bigger customer which is exactly why France chose to not aggravate many customers for 1.

@@abdiganiaden You'd think they'd learn. Israel's the reason the riddled east has to keep buying weapons, they all keep losing to them, every time they get involved, even through terrorists and state obstructionism..

It's such a perfect example of British humor.

@@speedydb55I can picture the Admiralty staff looking out their posts Pointing and laughing for the entire transit. lol The French are the last people the British will snitch for lolol

Laughs in bravo zulu

@@liberator235 it's fair game for sure ! We never stop at a chance to laugh at our overseas colony from England either :)

It took them just 15mins to figure out what the 5 ships were while the French were still in the dark

If you like this kind of thing, read "Rise and Kill First". It covers "targeted killings" by Israeli (and proto-Israeli) intelligence. The author supposedly conducted 1000+ interviews to write it. Obviously it's impossible to write an unbiased book on such a subject, but regardless of stance I think most people will find it incredibly interesting due to the absolutely absurd and brazen operations that took place.

​@@piepiedog1Nah, it's just the Jewish connections literally everywhere

​@@piepiedog1 sounds interesting I'll have to check that out!

French people are sick. France should have launched a naval invasion of Israel in response. Israeli grossly invaded France

Honestly I'm pretty sure the only thing French people hate more than their own government is older French governments.

That Urgun terrorist attack on the King David Hotel just brought a soft smile to the lips of the average Brit too didn't it?

@@Fly-gn7ou Why rewrite history?

It reminds me of the movie Casa Blanca , Vichy Captain Renault .

There was a lot of turning a blind eye to Israeli activity in the USA centering around nuclear espionage too. Both of nuclear materials and of technologies. Grant F Smith has two books out about that stuff that are very eye opening indeed. They had cover both externally and internally from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. From Politicians and Bureaucrats and they still do today. These people get away with murder - ALL the time.

@@binder946Oh boy, let's hear your totally-not-antisemitic theory on that.

I burst out laughing when the "bon voyage" line came up.

I mean - What is a more noble and ancient British past-time than winding up the French?

This was only a few years after Suez when Eisenhower pulled the plug which eventually caused the loss of Algeria and the fall of the Shah of Iran not the mention their respective loss of influence. He later said it was his worst decisions. Relations between the forces of UK, France & Israel had during and after the campaign been very cordial

collaboration is an old French habit

@@MajesticDemonLord Indeed, Feels wrong calling the Frogs Allies.

Yes, nothing like violating international law so you can continue to commit warcrimes in a neighbouring country under your fascist apartheid regime. Israel is so great and can never do anything wrong because that would be antisemitic to suggest.

The fact half the French government too wanted those ships gone might have helped out ^^

​@wfb.subtraktor311 it is possible to dislike a nation's politics but still respect military exploits their forces engaged in. I have a lot of issues with Isreal and their lobby/supporters in my country. But I definitely recognize that the IDF has pulled off some amazing operations that most militaries couldn't even dream of. (Yes and also some horrific crimes like the USS Liberty) at the end of the day they are willing to go to any length for their country, which I think most people expect from their military.

@@wfb.subtraktor311 cry more.

@@s.marcus3669 Mirage V, not the Mirage III. The Mirage III was bought in the 1960s, post the 1967 war, France put an arms embargo. That arms embargo did not allow the Israelis to buy Mirage V aircraft. The history behind how Israel got the Mirage V, renamed Nesher in Israeli service, is a mystery but the story you responded too is one of the Mirage V and not Mirage III.

My cousin was in the crews that sailed the subs from france to SA

thank you/ Most interesting & revealing. Any info on the joint Israel SA nuclear test ? Just between us !

@@gordonspicer 😉 which test would that be ? I heard the Vela satellite had a malfunction

Yes Gordon in cooperation with Israel , South Africa did develop nuclear armed weapons. By 1993 we had developed and dismantled all nuclear weapons as part of joining the NPT. That was the old apartheid government which had strong ties to Israel. Todays corrupt ANC government has stronger ties with Russia than Israel.

Are these the ships that were referred to as Strike Craft by the old SA Navy?

Because you think that this could have happened without the support of some very important french politicians ?

​@@languerouge5385 well, we can only speculate. There is not such info about what you said, at least in this video.

..sunk?

@@toasterhavingabath6980countries frequently sink their old ships that are obsolete for various reasons

​@@toasterhavingabath6980if a ship is too old to be used one of the options is it can be sunk as an artifical reef

That's exactly right; the arms embargo was definitely about keeping the oil flowing and cheap rather than any affinity for a North African colony/former colony.

France has long promoted Palestine because France (alongside the UK) was central in the creation of the Palestinian state.

It was no "ban on the sale" - they kept something they had already sold, so frankly the French were breaking a contract (sure: The manufacturer didn't want to, but was forced to and thus he supported that operation). If Israel hadn't payed, then that would have been different!

Correct-ish but like in Whitehall & the Quai d' Orsay Paris in those post war days there were alot of old "Lawrence of Arabia "Arabists" walking the forlon corridors of past good times and not keen on the new "upstarts" on the block (think of De Gaulle & Eden)

Lebanon was not considered an Arab country at the time. It was majority Christian.

Easy when the most powerful militaries on earth has your back. They weren’t tough when mr. Mustache was baking them like cookies lol

@@Tepaneca Back then it wasn't...

Sounds like everyone but the upper levels of french bureaucracy knew what was going on from the way you put it, kudos then

A bit of whoopsie 😅

In reality, the French didn’t stop supplying the Mirage.5J to the Israelis. They merely stopped delivering fully-assembled aircraft. Instead, Dassault and its subcontractors delivered knockdown kits (KDs) to the Israelis, which were then assembled in Israel, and the aircraft were renamed “Nesher” as part of the cover story that they were an “unlicensed copy” or “derivative” of the Mirage.5J. Another cover story was circulated that the “Neshers” were supposedly built using blueprints bought illegally from a Swiss engineer (Switzerland at the time was producing a licensed copy of the Mirage, the Mirage.IIIS). All of this was false. The KDs and their components all came directly from France, and Marcel Dasssault, CEO of Dassault Aviation-a French Jew and a proponent of Israel-took a personal interest in making sure the Israeli Mirage contract was fulfilled. The French Government was happy as long as the aircraft were paid for and as long as the Israelis continued to provide plausible deniability through cover stories. On the Israeli side, the chief engineer supervising the assembly of the KDs was actually a highly experienced Jewish American aviation engineer: Gene Salvay of North American Rockwell Aviation. Interestingly enough, when the Israelis sold their surplus “Neshers” to the Argentines in the 1970s, they never bothered to remove the original manufacturer ID plates that the French, as per their standard practice, had attached onto the aircraft. Interestingly, because the machines had originally been delivered to the Israelis as KDs, their manufacturer ID plates bore the logo of the Aerospatiale corporation, rather than Dassault’s. That’s because the kits were shipped to Israel straight from Dassault’s biggest subcontractor (Aerospatiale), and had bypassed the step where the machines would be assembled at the Dassault factory and get a Dassault manufacturer ID plate in place of Aerospatiale’s. To this day, the surviving Argentine “Neshers” can be photographed and their Aerospatiale plates are as visible and pristine as on the day that they were first attached onto the knockdown kits before delivery to Israel. The Israelis apparently never bothered to remove the plates because by the late 1970s, the original delivery of the Mirage.5Js was ancient history, and the French, having conquered the Mirage export market to various Arab air forces by then, knew that they had a captive market and no longer stood to lose any sales even if the plausible deniability about the Mirage.5J was long gone. And that there is the full story of the mythical “French embargo” of the Israeli Mirages. There was no embargo.

Actually the Blue Prints were given to Israel by a French government official who was a French Resistance fighter in WW2 & was caught by the Gestapo & imprisoned with Jews in a concentration camp. Can't remember his name, but I recall he was a defence ministry official

The Kfir version were also exported to Colombian Air Force

@@tombergins8215 : I literally just wrote the whole story of how the “Nesher” i.e. Mirage.5J came to be. Read it, instead of spewing false propaganda that even the Israeli government and the IAI corporation doesn’t even espouse anymore.

They sure have no problem screwing other people out of their own property. They've been doing it for centuries.

​​@@tinman3586your trope comes straight out of Nazi or Medieval church dogma and we all know how objective they where.

@@tinman3586 Let me see if I've got this straight. You're judging an entire culture with your prejudicial view, and what...you expect anyone who is rational to agree with your bullshit?

Sounds like European and Islamic empires, not Israel/Jews

@mrharpable Funny how Jews get to invade other people's land and displace them, engaging in 21st Century colonialism for their Jewish ethno-state then they turn around and preach against those things (when other countries do it) from their tenured positions in Western universities. The modern Zionist state of so-called Israel isn't the real Israel of God.

@@alimanski7941 thank you, this was a big story in Britain at the time so for those of supporters of beleaguered Israel, and us interested in the sea (I'm told I've become a marine painter, etc) this was not going to pass unnoticed. Through the fog of deception and mystery, many Brits guessed what was really happening. No one was 'officially' saying anything & the story was further confused as usual with and by the BBC and other mass media doing what it still does, especially in relation to Israel, broadcasting all sorts of rubbish, mostly guesses and opinions given as facts. Then came the publicly shown film taken from a helicopter of the 5 boats in the central Med making best speed, heading East & flying large Israeli flags all of which was presented as a 'scoop' and did rather suggest the Israelis have 'nicked' their own boats.
