A sweeping bill advancing through France’s parliament is set to criminalise wide areas of speech on Israel, with penalties of up to five years in prison.

The legislation, due for its first reading in the National Assembly on 16 April, has secured broad backing across the political spectrum, including support from the far right.

The proposal is spearheaded by French MP Caroline Yadan, a leading figure among lawmakers who openly describe themselves as “unconditional” supporters of Israel.

She represents the 8th constituency for French citizens abroad, where Israel accounts for a significant share of voters, and has made defence of Israel central to her political agenda.

Anyone that thinks they need a law to protect them from simple criticism is a fucking snowflake.

Haha yeah, there is no genocide here, move along. So “israel” is blackmailing/extorting most of the world leaders, to cover up the fact they are murderers and thiefs. Maybe someone should look into that.

France’s most famous anti-terrorism judge, Marc Trévidic, says he has never seen anything like it in his entire career (x.com/CharliesIngalls/status/2043333726541619459): “Implicit provocation to terrorism: do you realize what that means? Becoming a censor of other people’s thoughts, trying to guess what a person really meant.”
