French authorities have banned demonstrations in support of Gaza, arrested protesters, and moved to dissolve several Palestine advocacy groups.
Wow, this is authoritarian as shit!
France 🤝 Israel
colonial racismFrom the article:
Journalist Taha Bouhafs was arrested while covering a protest in Paris on Oct. 14. “There were very violent arrests, people were getting strangled by the police,” Bouhafs told +972. “I was filming this, and at some point the police came toward me and arrested me. I showed them my press card, but they told me I was not doing a journalist’s job, and that I didn’t have any journalist’s equipment — even though I was using my phone.
“They fined me for participating in an illegal demonstration, even though I showed them my press card,” he continued. “They told me: ‘If we see you again at a protest, we will break your legs.'"This is becoming an existential fight against authoritarianism.
Fuck that. Fuck Israel.
What do they think this will achieve exactly. It won’t end well.
Way to recruit more people for the Palestinian cause!
Censoring peaceful protests really shows how desperate Israel is to control people’s thoughts.
