I fucking hate the conflation of anti-semetism and anti-zionism, man.
Not sure if this is seen as truthful, but it seems Israel backed lobbyists are the first to use any criticism of the Israeli gov't, Israeli IDF, and Benjamin Netanyahu of Likud to push for censorship around the world.
Both major parties recieve money from pro-zionist backed lobbyists.
I hate the anti-semitic terror supporters who infiltrate and dominate every demonstration condemning the actions of the Israeli government and military. I don't know the situation in France but I am well aware of the situation in Berlin. During Hamas's attack, their supporters were seen celebrating in the streets, distributing candy. Many forms of protest have been banned in the past week because the police claim to have knowledge of the individuals behind these demonstrations. Yesterday, there was a larger demonstration where everyone pledged to condemn Hamas's terror attack as well. At the beginning it was not banned.
Here is a video: https://youtu.be/YhNwSaW_UTk
In the video, dominating groups can be heard shouting slogans like "Hamas Ya Shabiya!" (which roughly translates to "Hamas, movement of the people!"), "We will fight with our blood and soul for al-Aqsa!" and "Millions of us will go to Jerusalem as martyrs."
Hamas has called for taking the fight to cities worldwide. In Germany as well as in France, there have been hundreds of anti-semitic attacks during the last days. Hitler's nazis forcibly removed jews from their homes in Berlin to persecute them. Last week, the same buildings were marked with Stars of David. A molotov cocktail was thrown towards a packed car in the city center. Berlin must not allow these terror supporters to dominate any demonstration.
It's a very difficult situation to solve, but they would not ban demonstrations that oppose anti-semitism.
edit: A systematic ban of all pro Palestinia demonstrations is, in my view, a violation of the right to protest.

“We will fight with our blood and soul for al-Aqsa!”
Al-Aqsa is a religious site that Palestinians shouldn't have to fight for. Like legally it's theirs. Israel gave it to them in a waqf.
So why are there clashes? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Al-Aqsa_clashes
The French government has reported 24 arrests for more than 100 antisemitic acts in France since Hamas attacked Israel on Saturday, including verbal abuse, people caught with knives near Jewish schools and synagogues and a drone equipped with a camera spotted over a Jewish cultural center.
This is the best they could come up with to hype up the threat and justify the crackdown on freedom of expression?
Is there even an allegation that the drone with a camera, aka basically all drones, was related to anything nefarious? Or could this just be a case where a hobbyist was flying the $25 toy drone he just bought but now that's antisemitic because it was over a Jewish cultural center.
It’s honestly not that crazy for drastic reaction after the actions of a few. For example, Australia had enacted strict firearm laws after the Port Arthur massacre.
Now that they got rid of the Liberté, the Fraternité and the Equalité, it's goose stepping all day every day in the halls of the Elisée...

This is the best summary I could come up with:
PARIS (AP) — France’s interior minister on Thursday ordered local authorities to ban all pro-Palestinian demonstrations amid a rise in antisemitic acts since Hamas attacked Israel over the weekend.
Soon before Macron spoke in a televised address to the nation about the Mideast conflict, Paris police used tear gas and water cannon to disperse pro-Palestinian protesters who had defied a ban and demonstrated Thursday against the Israeli government.
Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin sent a directive to local prefects on Thursday, seen by The Associated Press, calling for a further tightening of security around Jewish schools, synagogues and other sites.
Earlier this week, thousands of people marched in Paris in support of Israel, and the Eiffel Tower was lit up with a Star of David and the blue and white of the Israeli flag.
Denouncing Hamas as a terrorist group, Macron called for peace efforts that would ensure both Israel’s security and a Palestinian state.
Struggling to speak as they sobbed or choked back tears, family members of missing French citizens pleaded Thursday at a news conference in Tel Aviv for help from Macron.

Good bot!
Good. From what I've seen those protests have been horrible.

-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
