I stop paying attention to French politics for like 1h and I come back to a (white) representative getting suspended from the National Assembly for brandishing a Palestinian flag during the questions to the government (the government was answering to the question “how can you look at yourself on a mirror if you support the massacres in Gaza and refuse to sanction Israel?” Question asked by a white female representative.)
Sébastien Delogu was escorted out by security for brandishing the flag. Being applauded by his party some of them starting even singing the “To arms, citizens, Form your battalions, Let’s March, let’s march!” Of the French anthem (starting it there is not an accident). He said that he doesn’t care about any sanction/punishment he would get for it because France is on the wrong side and it’s a duty to stand with the oppressed. He went on to quote Fanon on Twitter. “We are nothing on earth if we are not first and foremost the slave of a cause, that of people and that of justice and freedom. » ending his tweet with “No justice, no peace !”
I came back to a white female representative (the one with the question, Alma Dufour) calling out Meyer Habib (the representative of “French Israelis”). A white male representative (David Guiraud) almost getting into a fist fight with Meyer Habib and calling him a pig. Both of them telling him they will make sure he face justice for supporting a genocide. Guiraud then told to the journalists that after seeing so much horrors there’s only anger left to fight against this genocide and that all French people should be ashamed.
For context these representatives are the equivalent of US congressmen.
And in 20 minutes there’s a protest in Paris for Palestine.
