A French court has sentenced a nursing student to three years in prison for allegedly “glorifying terrorism” on social media.

Zaiter said “46 days after an arbitrary and unjust detention for having denounced the genocide and expressed my support for Palestine in Nice, I finally find my daughter.”

The trial highlights France’s stringent stance on public speech and pro-Israel laws.

    In 2021, France adopted the infamous definition of antisemitism proposed by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA), which deems criticism of Israel and Zionism and comparing Israel’s practices to those of the Nazis forms of antisemitism

    How does that make any sense?

      It makes sense to people who want to use the deaths of their ancestors as an excuse to do whatever the fuck they want.
