It is actually quite the contrary in France. The general political line is to imply criticism of Israel. Those who do not are usually labeled at least a little provocative.
Matter of fact I can't think right off the bat of a french politician of any sizable caliber that would be openly pro-Israeli.

it's not about supporting or not supporting israel. Israel as a state should be protected, nobody denies that (beside some extremists that still think they can throw them back at sea). It's about saying that installing settlements in palestinian lands saying "this land is mine, god gave it to me" is
batshit crazy. Just like it's batshit crazy to think that you can make israelis go back to the countries they were living in before ww2. i mean i can understand that you could be against zionism in the 40's or 50's, but what about now ? people are born there , it's their land just as much as anyone else born there, period.
when both parties will recognize both of these facts, peace will be closer than ever.
