French police on Friday detained Algerian international Youcef Atal, who plays for Ligue 1 football side Nice, in a probe into suspected "justification of terrorism" after he published a social media post on the Israel-Hamas war, prosecutors said.In mid-October, the Nice public prosecutor announced the opening of an investigation into "justification of terrorism."
This is incredibly useless rhetoric. Were the anti Vietnam war protests also done for an ulterior motive because there weren’t any protests against the Cyprus war or some shit?
Maybe people are protesting against this one because over the past 10-15 years it’s been one of the most discussed topics in mainstream media while the other ones are kinda just shoved aside.
Maybe people are outraged at this one in particular because the US and a lot of Europe are all too eager to condone what Israel is doing.
Are there anti semites in the anti Israel crowd? Most certainly, but i can just turn around and point out just as many islamophobes on the other side who would be so happy if everyone in Gaza just disappeared.
