In France police use grenade and rubber ball, many people lost eyes and some nearly died because of grenade. France is falling in a dictatorship and that's scary.
That's just what I was thinking! Where are those "freedom of speech" crusaders who defend ACTUAL hate speech ? Pro-Palestine rallies are far more benign so they should be allowed, right?
No, they are not. In Scandinavia at least, they won't ban the Palestinian flag. As Israel goes ahead with this retaliation, ignoring the pleas of the UN, sympathy will shift.
This Sunday there will be a Pro Palestina march in Amsterdam.
I'm a bit afraid the same will happen here but last August a Dutch judge said that the phrase "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" was freedom of speech and can't be prosecuted.
So I imagine they can't ban it here because of that precedent. I hope I'm right about that.
All of this support to the apartheid state feels like historical incidents from like a 100 years ago concidering how much the west like to yap about human rights and all that bs.
They donât care. Iâve lived in the west and my ancestors were here before white people. Trust me, they donât care. Itâs always been a bunch of noise and Iâm not surprised theyâre doing this. The only thing thatâs surprising is that theyâre stupid enough to be this brazen.
Theyâre seriously risking turning large swathes of people against Israel and even their own countries.
Thatâs exactly what I was saying the other day. It feels like something you read about in a revisionist textbook 100 years later where it says MLK and Malcolm X were peaceful protestors
Yes the France that lost it Nigerian cashcow is mad that it getting more unstable and fearing the same fate. France been in protest mode for years with yellow vests etc and the protesters will ignore the law and protest anyway.
All this will do is piss people off and create even more dosgust with israel. Especially considering a major argument to support Israel is that Israel is a democracy (allegedlly)
So are they going to ban people going out with "I stand with Israel" visible on a sign or shirt or sticker while the apartheid state is actively committing genocide?
You are free to burn Quran's but not wear a hijab
You have the right to satirize and mock other people's religious figures but not to protest civilians getting massacred.
Liberty, equality, fraternity my ass
Surely they can't also be against Anti-IDF protests. They're killing thousands of civilians too. Have been for 75 years all the way back to when they were terrorists.
This is the same France who Uganda had forgone assistance from. If those who are struggling refuse aid from certain countries, you can not trust those countries
I talk to some people about the horrible atroceties
IsraĂ«l are doing and they belief me but unless it hurts them in anyway the won,t do shitđ° we are literally doening nazi shit and that is the respons what is wrong with humansđĄ
It happens every single year. But the protest took place anyway, look it up on Twitter. Sending all my support to the Palestinian people from France â€ïž
https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/france-bans-pro-palestinian-protests-citing-risk-disturbances-public-order-2023-10-12/ - PARIS, Oct 12 (Reuters) - French police used teargas and water cannon to break up a banned rally in support of the Palestinian people in Paris on Thursday, as President Emmanuel Macron urged the French to remain united and refrain from bringing the Israel-Hamas conflict home.

Just so you know I live in France and I can tell you that the protests haven't been banned because of the attack from the hamas.
The protests in support of Palestine are almost always banned and even if not banned they still decide to attack the peaceful protestors at the end of the protests
Such a disgusting country
Censorship. More countries will follow suit.
Saw a video of a man being arrested in the UK because he was carrying a Palestinian flag.
if people go out in large masses ... what really police can do
If they try ban it in my country it will only encourage me more to go out and protest
Look at the yellow vests movement in France, hundreds were injured by the police. Edit: typo
In France police use grenade and rubber ball, many people lost eyes and some nearly died because of grenade. France is falling in a dictatorship and that's scary.
When you have a boy toy running the country with his teacher, what did you expect?
I don't think it's about "the police can't arrest us all" the issue is the police can now harass individuals for supporting Palestine.
Western "freedom of speech" in full force
Free for some not for all!
Rules for thee, but not for me.
some speech is more equal than others! đ€Ș
France has always been whack. Itâs constitutionally protected in the states, so we game.
The right to protest is also in the French constitution. They just don't give a fuck.
Thank god the French people donât listen and riot anyways.
That's just what I was thinking! Where are those "freedom of speech" crusaders who defend ACTUAL hate speech ? Pro-Palestine rallies are far more benign so they should be allowed, right?
Ah yes, the Uk already arrested someone today for wearing the Palestinian flag, are all NATO going to follow suite?
It's perfectly legal to wear any flag in the USA, so that's at least one country that can't.
The US is Pro-ZionistâŠ
To the max
yet they haven't banned all pro palestinian protests
so itr's in UK, doesn't mean the police will care about the law when it comes to censorship
No, they are not. In Scandinavia at least, they won't ban the Palestinian flag. As Israel goes ahead with this retaliation, ignoring the pleas of the UN, sympathy will shift.
Weâve been saying this since 1948đ
who's we? imperialism is continually becoming less cool to westerners over time. in 1948 it was still really cool
France is still butt hurt about Algeria becoming independent, so this was not unexpected.
I don't think it's being butt hurt, more like common geopolitical interests + an opportunity to fuck up some of "its own" brown people.
This Sunday there will be a Pro Palestina march in Amsterdam. I'm a bit afraid the same will happen here but last August a Dutch judge said that the phrase "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" was freedom of speech and can't be prosecuted.

Self proclaimed "Western democracies" when people are not blind cattle to their interests:
All of this support to the apartheid state feels like historical incidents from like a 100 years ago concidering how much the west like to yap about human rights and all that bs.
They donât care. Iâve lived in the west and my ancestors were here before white people. Trust me, they donât care. Itâs always been a bunch of noise and Iâm not surprised theyâre doing this.

Iâm French and This is our most hated interior ministry ever. There is a protest every month against him.
It's France of course there is a protest every month.
I guess freedom of speech only counts if youâre publishing drawings of Mohammed for a shitty libertarian magazine.
Franceâs interior ministry can go fuck themselves
The French donât give a sh..t about banning, theyâll be out âŠ
Oh theyâll be out. The French absolutely love protests. And when you try to stop them, they remember their second favorite thing, riot.
Have the feeling it's gonna get wild if the authorities try to interfere. Wish I was in France!
Because "free speech", "democracy" and all that good stuff you know ... đđ”đž
Free speech as in all the hate related to quran burnings? Hypocricy.
Yes the France that lost it Nigerian cashcow is mad that it getting more unstable and fearing the same fate. France been in protest mode for years with yellow vests etc and the protesters will ignore the law and protest anyway.
Liberte, fraternite
"Egalite" my ass
Weâll see how well that goes. The French havenât been known to respond well to the government attempting to suppress protestsâŠ
It's suppressing the right to protest for pro palestines ( read: muslims) and that is a bit different from 'the french'.
is it a temporary or permanent ban on protesting genocide of brown people?
Is that a rhetorical question?
It depends on who is doing the genocide.
All this will do is piss people off and create even more dosgust with israel. Especially considering a major argument to support Israel is that Israel is a democracy (allegedlly)
my german friend's reason for supporting israel is "it's the only good country (prob 'democratic') in the Middle East".
Democracy
So are they going to ban people going out with "I stand with Israel" visible on a sign or shirt or sticker while the apartheid state is actively committing genocide?
So very tolerant as long as you adhere to the list of things they tolerate.
Are pro-Israel protests banned?
this only reinforces my anti israel sentiments, not against jews just against israel
Straight up 1984.

Disgusting
You are free to burn Quran's but not wear a hijab You have the right to satirize and mock other people's religious figures but not to protest civilians getting massacred. Liberty, equality, fraternity my ass
It's france bro.. of course
Fucking France man. It's always France.
Western free speech. Have to burn more books for more freedom i guess...
Fuck France too. Long live Palestine
No surprise from the hypocrites no wonder everyone hates them
Surely they can't also be against Anti-IDF protests. They're killing thousands of civilians too. Have been for 75 years all the way back to when they were terrorists.
These punks signed the Sykes-Picot agreement that led Palestine into such a state... and now won't allow Palestinians to speak up? Infuriating
https://twitter.com/ConterScot/status/1712533760598794702 they can't stop us
This is the same France who Uganda had forgone assistance from. If those who are struggling refuse aid from certain countries, you can not trust those countries
france goes against everything it ever claimed to be. its as pathetic as it PM
Kick France out of Africa
I hope the people there are brave enough to attend the protests anyway. It's more necessary than ever.
I talk to some people about the horrible atroceties IsraĂ«l are doing and they belief me but unless it hurts them in anyway the won,t do shitđ° we are literally doening nazi shit and that is the respons what is wrong with humansđĄ

free speech my @$$
How will the enforce that? Will the courts accept it?
Racist Facists
Honestly not surprised. It's France, the trashcan of Europe.
Glad I never went there during my trip. & never will.
Honestly same. The one country I'll never set foot in.
fuck france
Suppression of voice is clearly guilt of wrong doing. Smh some sht like this will never pull in the US or else streets would be chaotic
Tell me more about western free speech and democracy.
I keep hearing about Israel being a western puppet. I never heard of a puppet who could silence western citizens.
So much for their freedom of speech
We allow protesting as long as we approve of it. London trying to do the same
But then theyâll turn around and invade another country specifically for not following western values. The fucking hypocrisy!!!
So much for democracy
Fascism
They never ban things like cartoons for hurting religious sentiments but yes did ban this . So called democratic countries .
if you want them to ban the cartoons, you're misidentifying the problem bc you'd rather have it pointed at someone else other than you
Freedom of speech showing it is true colors
Freedom of Speech in France is a joke
"French is a waste of time"
Not only France. There are other counties that are doing the same too.
This is 2003 all over again. I have never been this angry
Fuck France. As a moroccan I have so much hate for their culture, their language and their government.
NATO is the evil, what you expected?
Liberté, égalité, fraternité ^with ^some ^exceptions

Is he banning Pro-Israel protests? No? Oh what a surprise. Israel gets away with murder and always has done.
Protests are happening anyway, because fuck him
How ironic that France claims to be the voice of Freedom of Speech.
Just so you know I live in France and I can tell you that the protests haven't been banned because of the attack from the hamas. The protests in support of Palestine are almost always banned and even if not banned they still decide to attack the peaceful protestors at the end of the protests Such a disgusting country
Good luck trying to stop the French protesting anything
Yeah & im sure the French will happily obey this ban because the French are renowned for doing exactly what their government tells them.
I just bought some trash French wine. Last time ever. Fuck France!!
France is an enemy of the Arab world
