What should France do? Since the Hamas attack, launched on October 7 in Israel, the eyes of the whole world have been fixed on the Jewish state. After 16 days of conflict, more than 1,400 people were killed on Israeli territory by Hamas terrorists, the majority of them civilians mowed down by bullets, burned alive or dead of mutilation. In the Gaza Strip, at least 4,385 Palestinians, mostly civilians, died after incessant bombings carried out in retaliation by the Israeli army, according to the Hamas Ministry of Health.
Since the start of this conflict, several demonstrations have been organized around the world in support of Israel but also of Palestine. This is the case in Tunis this Saturday in front of the French embassy where many Tunisians criticize Paris for supporting, according to them, the Jewish state. Another example, last Thursday evening, “Allah Akbar” were chanted by hundreds of people at Place de la République in Paris during a pro-Palestinian demonstration. Disturbing acts in the eyes of Jordan Bardella, president of the National Rally, guest on the show The Big Meetingthis Sunday.
“Hamas is already on French soil”
“The truth is that Islamist ideology is already on French soil. Hamas is already on French soil and the barbarians are already among us. We saw it again in these demonstrations pro-Palestinian where, in our country which has seen 273 deaths from Islamist fundamentalism, we let Allah Akbar scream 500 meters from the Bataclan”, warns the president of the National Rally at the microphone of Sonia Mabrouk. According to him, the Council of State, present to safeguard fundamental freedoms, specifies that there is no ban in principle on demonstrations in France. “Now, it is at the discretion of the prefects, depending on the potential risk of a breach of public order, that these demonstrations must be organized,” he adds.
At the microphone of Europe 1, Jordan Bardella expresses having been shocked by the comments heard during the pro-Palestinian rally at Place de la République last Thursday evening. “Really, we went, in just 8 years, from ‘Je suis Charlie’ to Allah Akbar,” marvels the 28-year-old politician. Subsequently, he recalls that these demonstrations can degenerate, as in Germany where people deliberately tried to burn down synagogues and where around sixty police officers were injured.
“When we shout Allah Akbar on the day of Dominique Bernard’s burial, in a country which has 273 French people killed by Islamist fundamentalism and 30 nationals cowardly murdered by barbarism and Islamic totalitarianism in the Middle East, we do not live in the same country. And in reality, today these activists are no longer fighting for a Palestinian state but for the Umma,” says Jordan Bardella indignantly. According to him, these demonstrations today reflect a “re-Islamization” of the Palestinian cause.
