Why is like 100% of western media doing this shit rather than discussing imposing real trade restrictions on Israel. (also wtf do all these simps fucking love saudi arabia?)
France is making a large part of its own defense system (fighter jet, navy ships, etc.) and for it to be financially viable, sells some models to other countries. One very good client is Saudi Arabia. You will never hear criticism from this government against Saudis.
Since when does the media impose trade restrictions?

Good intentions as there’s a lot of antisemitism from outside viewers, but it doesn’t set a good precedent.
the good intentions are a pretense at best, the french governmenr is perfectly aware that criticism of zionism is not antisemitism
they dont want jewish folks to feel safe, they want palestinians to feel unsafe
Time to protest for free croissants. Two bread solution
Just pick a ridiculous thing to protest against but know that what they are actually protesting is for a free Palestine and a peaceful solution that allows both Israeli and Palestinian people to live without the fear and death they currently deal with.

Damn, France taking an L on this one
Pro-Russia protests were just fine though even though the methods of murdering in Ukraine are not that different.
Were there many pro Russia protests in France?
I don’t know if it was many, but sure were some. Like in Europe in general: https://www.lemonde.fr/en/international/article/2023/05/07/how-russia-is-staging-fake-protests-in-europe-to-discredit-ukraine_6025808_4.html
Regardless of where you stand on the Israel/Hammas situation, the state shouldn’t have this kind of power.
Europeans don’t believe in free speech.
you can tell because this decision by the french government is currently seeing universal fucking praise
Europeans believe in being civil first.
We just wish you’d man the fuck up and stop saying you do have free speech. Shits annoying.
Because we believe in freedom of expression.
We do indeed do not follow US laws. Strange how the world works, right?
freedom of expression.
That’s also not true, as evidenced by this ban on expression.
What about anti-Israel protests, are those still allowed?
The government of France bans protests… I’ve heard that one before I think. What did the French do after?
Every government seems to know the people won’t actually do that anymore. Peaceful protest was encouraged when the alternative was violence, but now that it’s not, it can be safely banned. The French are ironically a great example— they are notorious for their protests and revolution, yet when the government ignored them and raised retirement age, nothing happened.
I’m not saying this is good or bad, nor calling for action. It’s merely an observation. I further observe that perhaps this is the humanity tamed enough for governments to once again put the people last, but with the firepower to enforce it eternally. We need good people seeking public office to prevent this, and other solutions.
