Charlie Hebdo Attack and Mossad Link: Is Israel Venting Its Fury For France’s Recognition of Palestine State?
This article originally appeared in ibtimes. There is no clarity on which organisation is behind the attack on French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris on Wednesday and therefore, conspiracy theories are gaining traction in internet forums. Fingers are being pointed toward intelligence agencies and Mossad of Israel is a prime contender. It is believed that Israel has a grouse against France, especially because French MPs voted in favour of recognising the Palestinian state and also France voted against Israel at the UN recently, conspiracy bloggers such as ‘Aangirfan’ note. In Early December 2014, when France’s lower house of parliament voted 339 votes to 151 urging the government to recognise the Palestinian state, Israel was patently unhappy. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the vote a “grave mistake”. Israel had warned France of grave consequences even before the country voted in favour of Palestine. Speaking to reporters in Jerusalem, France 24 reported Netanyahu as saying that time: “Do they have nothing better to do at a time of beheadings across the Middle East, including that of a French citizen? Recognition of a Palestinian state by France would be a grave mistake. “The State of Israel is the homeland of the Jewish people, the only state that we have, and the Palestinians demanding a state do not want to recognise the right to have a state for the Jewish people.” Israel, last week, also expressed its “deep disappointment” with France for voting for a Palestinian resolution at the UN Security Council and calling for a full IDF withdrawal to the pre-1967 lines by the end of 2017, the Jerusalem Post reported. France was one of eight countries supporting Palestine in the Security Council – although it fell one-vote short of the nine necessary to pass. Although there is no way to verify the claims that Mossad was involved, the backdrop in which the attack took place seems to indicate that it might be involved, many conspiracy theorists have noted. Mossad is responsible for intelligence collection and has undertaken many covert operations for Israel in Europe that aim to further their Jewish cause. Updated: January 8, 2015

Mossad Behind Charlie Hebdo Attack? International Business Times Retracts, Apologizes by Sydney Smith
The International Business Times unpublished a story that suggested that Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency, carried out the attack on the offices of the satirical magazine Charlie Hedbo.The Jan. 8 story's headline was "Charlie Hebdo Attack and Mossad Link: Is Israel Venting Its Fury for France's Recognition of Palestine State?." According to a screenshot of the article posted on Twitter, the International Business TImes said that "Mossad of Israel is a prime contender" for who was behind yesterday's attack on Charlie Hebdo. "It is believed that Israel has a grouse against France, especially because French MPs voted in favour of recognising the Palestinian state and also France voted against Israel at the UN recently, conspiracy bloggers such as 'Aangirfan' note," the article said. iMediaEthics asked IB Times editor-in-chief Peter S. Goodman for more information about the article and how it made it to publication. "The article was published by our site in India, which serves an Indian audience. It was edited in Bangalore," Goodman wrote. "Complaints on social media drew the attention of our editors in New York and we immediately took down the offending story and issued an apology." Goodman went on, "That story does not represent journalism in any sense and it has no place on our site. IB Times is a fast-growing global operation and we have substantially changed our culture in the last year, elevating our standards. This is a process, and there will inevitably be problems, but we are fully committed to eliminating stories that no pass muster and replacing them with quality work."
