They have 300 facial expressions for that.

This news must be read in the French political context, where far-right ideas are corrupting the minds and islamophobia is the legal face of racism.

It’s also a way for the government to divide the left, accusing it to promote islamist terrorism (which is obviously a fake).

This is a loophole that the Minister of the Interior has been discovering and exploiting for months: he does something whose legality is highly questionable (like banning a demonstration), and by the time his decision is legally challenged and overturned, he’s got what he wanted and there are no legal consequences for him.

You’re right, the situation has deteriorated over the last 30 years.

But what I don’t agree with is the idea that it’s impossible to establish lasting peace in the region.

Otherwise, we have to accept that their only conceivable future is permanent conflict until genocide arrives. That’s morally unacceptable to me; we can’t settle for horror.

That’s not true.

In the 90’s, the Oslo Accords was a step forward between Israel (Yitzhak Rabin, and his opponent Shimon Peres) and Palestine Liberation Organization (Yasser Arafat) to find a way to live peacefully together.

They shared the Nobel Peace Prize for that. And it cost Yitzhak Rabin his life, as he was murdered by a far-right terrorist who wanted to stop the peace process.

Because the rich and powerful meat lobby wants to make life hell for their meat free competitors. The only logic here is money.

According to the French Constitution, the President cannot serve more than 2 consecutive terms. Macron was elected in 2017 and relected in 2022 (against the far-right candidate) so he can’t be candidate in 2027.

Before 2027, there won’t be any meaningful national election in France (European congress in 2024 and municipal elections in 2026).

Also, Macron hasn’t the absolute majority at the French national assembly, but there are tools in the Constitution which allow the government to pass laws without a vote. And the opposition is not strong enough to dismiss the government.
