> The French government is backing a draft law based on the idea that „hatred“ of Israel is inseparable from hatred of the Jewish people. Critics of the “Yadan law” warn the new legislation will not just muzzle legitimate criticism of Israel but could further fuel anti-Semitism in France.
So MOSSAD have compromising information on the French government then?
Why else would they commit to a logic that basically says hating nazi Germany in 1940 is hating all Germans?
The lawmaker who proposed this bill represents French citizens living abroad, primarily Israelis. She is, of course, fully aligned with Israel. There’s no guarantee the bill will pass; it’s very unpopular.
Because lots of people are antisemites and they fell for the Qatar and Iran backed palestinian propaganda.
Fuck Israel. Welp I guess I am an antisemite now
They want to muzzle european journalists for criticizing the Knesset/Israel lol
Because no one likes Israel and Israel will not allow anyone to criticize it without tagging them as antisemites. So, a new law is needed for all those millions of antisemites that keep popping up everywhere
This is why free speech is important even for people you don’t like. They’re using anti-holocaust denial laws to pass outlawing political criticism of Israel.
Leopards eating faces…
This bill goes way too far to curb speech plus the government and its employees are scared shitless by certain „voter“ blocs that are intimidators. Nothing won’t happen.
It’s best zionists come to the realization that they’re no longer exempt of the post-1945 taboo of ethno-nationalism and for all intent and purposes they are as white as us now lol enjoy the incoming de-colonization era
Probably because it’s a blatant attempt of pro-Israel groups trying to silence completely valid criticism of the Israeli state by pretending the only way you could possibly disagree with Israel about anything is if you’re a raging bigot against Jews.
That’s going to cause some controversy, because people don’t like strawman arguments being turned into law.
Horshoe theory?
Antisemitism today is where Israel’s government states that you criticize them.
Special privileges for Israelis and for Jews will increase hatred for Jews. How is that hard to understand.
Why are rules about how we may talk about Israel infiltrating laws about antisemitism in our countries? I know why, because Israel and some Jews want it and thus created the IHRA convention which is the father of this mess.
There should not be special laws for Jews, period. Humans are humans.
A good amount of anti-semitism is somewhat easy to solve, you just have to look at Israel like a country and not the state of a religion.
Then you’ll end up with minimal and factual anti-semitism from neo-nazis. Which begs the question of why Israel is such a good pal of the European far-right.
I agree that further measures against anti-Semitism are necessary, but being critical of Israel and their history shouldn’t automatically mark you as an anit-Semite.
Also as mentioned by Nathalie Tehio, these populist measures might only make the situation worse.
Oh! Oh! Let me guess! Because it does not combat anti-Semitism and is actually a law to oppress speech against Israel’s genocide? Do I get a cookie for guessing right?
I would unironically quit France if that law passes.
It’s very simple : almost all people using the word Zionist today, are antisemites. Use the word Jew or Israeli.l, it be precise if your target is Israeli settlers / far right.
Now reading this ( some) people will claim it’s an exaggeration. My only question to them, if you’re against the existence of Israel as it is, what do you expect to happen to its current population, should your wishes come true?
Because Iran Russia and China are using new forms of anti-Semitims to promote their interests.
And if a middle power line France bans it tech platforms may ban it world wide and it will propaganda really hard for those 3.
Whilst questioning of Israel is not anti Semitism, but criticising Israel rabidly and ignoring other countries doing far worse is anti Semitism. I also question if people writing Israel have ever tried putting themselves in her shoes.
