(France) After Paris banned anti-Israeli protests in the country when the so called protesting peaceful idiots decided it was open season on the Jew, they (do you really have to guess who?) rioted anyway. Well, with another unofficial protest set for tomorrow, the head of the French League of Human Rights says it would be major mistake to ban it.
Pierre Tartakowsky, the president of France’s “Ligue des droits de l’Homme (LDH)” (League of Human Rights) says “Freedom must prevail” and Saturday's demo must be allowed to go ahead.
“It was a big mistake by the government to ban the march. By forbidding it, it opened the way for trouble and for radicalisation. It encouraged anti-Semitism. But on the other hand if it had allowed the protest to go ahead it would have strengthened the democratic political debate.
“It is totally legitimate today that events in Gaza are something the public see as, at the least problematic and certainly tragic. We have an army that is violating every international rule of law and is even targeting women and children. It is normal that the public in France want to show that they refuse to allow that to happen.
“You can’t just say these demonstrators are anti-Semitic or that the protest is a risk. Every demonstration is a risk. It is the government’s responsibility to keep the peace at these demos.
Meanwhile on Wednesday, these people held a peaceful protest against Israel:
and these peaceful protesters who just happened to be pointing at the ground.
