Fighting in the Middle East in the past has led to tensions in France, which is estimated to have the world’s third-largest Jewish population after Israel and the U.S., and the largest Muslim population in Western Europe.

The French government has reported 24 arrests for more than 100 antisemitic acts in France since Hamas attacked Israel on Saturday, including verbal abuse, people caught with knives near Jewish schools and synagogues and a drone equipped with a camera spotted over a Jewish cultural center. More than 2,000 cases of antisemitic speech have been reported to an online watchdog force.

It said pro-Palestinian demonstrations should be banned and those who defy bans should be arrested, ‘’because they are susceptible to disrupt public order.’’

Pro-Palestinian associations decried the move. The National Collective for a Fair and Lasting Peace between Palestinians and Israelis said it ‘’denounces this threat to freedom of expression,’’ and pledged to continue holding actions to support the Palestinian people.

Denouncing Hamas as a terrorist group, Macron called for peace efforts that would ensure both Israel’s security and a Palestinian state.

    Ah yes, the good ol’ “celebrating in the streets” trope. Just like all those Muslims that were totally celebrating in the streets on 9/11, or all those other ____ that were celebrating in the streets about ______.

    Fill in the fucking blanks with any religious group and any event. Somehow it only applies to whatever “THEM” the person making the statement decides it should apply to, with little to no evidence outside of shitty potato footage that eventually gets dated back to some obscure TV show from the mid 90’s.

      Do you really belive there were no celebrations on 9/11???

      In Berlin there were hundreds of witnesses. Nobody challanges the fact that there were celebrations.

        Do you really believe it matters?

        Oh, yes, of course, because it means that “THEY” are bad and you are good, right?

        The racism is in the “they’re all the same” kind of thinking that picks up the negative behaviours of some and accuses an entire group of people who just happen to share the same etnicity/religion of being all like that.

        It’s exactly the same when some Israeli soldier shots and murders a kid throwing stones at the armored buldozer razing his home, some israelis come out to defend his actions and then some racist says that “all jews support the murdering of children” using that as an example - the racism is in going from a “murder cheered by a bunch of assholes” to “everybody who happens to share the same religion as they do”.

        If your “argument” is anchored in an “their all the same” assumption, then you’re a racist.
