    Similar graffiti was also found in Parisian suburbs including Vanves, Fontenay-aux-Roses, Aubervilliers and Saint-Ouen. The stars were sometimes accompanied by inscriptions such as “from the river to the sea, Palestine will win,” according to reports.

    That chant again.

      Being anti-Isreal is not being antisemitic… and, tbh, most people are just pissed at the current Israeli regime.

        It’s not, Palestinians are Semitic. Zionists have conflated anti zionism with being antisemitic. Fuck Zionists

          Though ‘antisemitism’ could be construed as prejudice against people who speak other Semitic languages, this is not how the term is commonly used…

        Because like the swastika which went from a cultural Eurasian symbol to what is obviously now a Nazi sign, the “from the river to the sea” is mostly code correlated with antisemitic acts like in the linked article. As you can notice also, Hamas is proudly using the slogan while having called for the complete destruction of Israel in their founding charter while Fatah dropped it altogether.

        In 1966, Hafez El-Assad said: “We shall never call for, nor accept peace. We shall only accept war and the restoration of the usurped land. We have resolved to drench this land with our blood, to oust you, aggressors, and throw you into the sea for good.

        (https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/opinions/1994/10/09/the-mind-of-hafez-assad/0be81ae7-2a5a-4e04-bb62-3e527318e317/ )

        and that’s roughly the period where the slogan came to be.

            Because Jews like to live in Israel? A state granted by the U.N after all the atrocities done to the jewish people…and when groups like Hamas use that term they sure as hell don’t want any Jews to live there because you know they’re fucking degenerates who want to wipe out jews.

              You might want to recheck your history if you think the UN simply granted Jewish people a bunch of Mandatory Palestine because they were sorry about the Holocaust

                In the face of increasing violence after World War II, the British handed the issue over to the recently established United Nations. The result was Resolution 181(II), a plan to partition Palestine into Independent Arab and Jewish States and the Special International Regime for the City of Jerusalem. The Jewish state was to receive around 56% of the land area of Mandate Palestine, encompassing 82% of the Jewish population, though it would be separated from Jerusalem. The result was 33 to 13 in favour of the resolution, with 10 abstentions.

                Thats what the U.N is for right, to handle very controverse topics and to find a solution for them. Sorry for the participants of the middle east but thats how a vote works, even if the outcome is not what you expected, but thats democracy.

    So stencil graffiti of the same shape and size painted with exactly the same color in different neighborhood of Paris and other cities in France just appeared on the same night out of nowhere. such a coordinated effort can only be a false flag operation carried out by delinquent groups paid by the pro-Zionists or intelligence services to silence criticism of Israel. I can’t believe amateur anti-Semites are this coordinated or professional.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Stars of David have been found graffitied on buildings in the Paris area, in acts that political leaders have said “recall the 1930s”.

    More than 850 such acts have been reported in France since the Hamas attacks in Israel on 7 October, says Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin.

    In a statement, the mayoralty of the 14th arrondissement wrote that the acts “recall the events of the 1930s… which led to the extermination of millions of Jews”.

    Emmanuel Grégoire, deputy to Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo, said the stars would be removed and an investigation launched.

    The Mayor of Saint-Ouen, Karim Bouamrane, called for the authors of the “antisemitic and racist” graffiti in his city to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

    Political leaders, including President Emmanuel Macron, have warned of the risk of “importing” tensions caused by the Israel-Hamas war into France.


    The original article contains 362 words, the summary contains 143 words. Saved 60%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

    Prosecutors have cautioned, however, that it is still unclear whether the stars are antisemitic in nature

    About 400 people have been arrested for antisemitic acts this month
