France has sizeable Muslim population. Muslims would mostly support the Gazans.

That might very well be true, but these demonstrations have been going on a little all over: France, UK, Germany, Turkey, US, New Zealand, Norway, Argentina, Sweden and Australia, last I checked - I'm sure these aren't all just Muslims making up the demonstrators either.

You are right, muslims wouldn't support Israel. It's not likely Israelis would join in this demonstration Wink

Yes. Around 15% of the population and growing. A result of the Socialist policies in the 1960s and the 1970s, which encouraged migration of cheap labor from the Maghreb and the Former French West Africa. The nation is getting increasingly polarized now, as evident from victory of the Front National in the 2014 Euro elections.

It's a great day ! First time you say socialism cause problems ! thanks ! Cheesy

And sorry but the front national is very socialist...

And the guy they label as "pro-palestinian" are just some vandal wanting to break public and private property and hit some Jews... It's the first time this government try to respect the taxpayer money and protect us from leftism extremist so it's good.

Would be fair to see the same violence on them than there was on right wing people...

I know this is a weird comparison but this shit reminds me exactly of watching American Democrats and Republicans argue over something, basically, in their minds the opposite side is always in the wrong and they completely ignore anything bad that they themselves have done and then for the other side it's the total opposite. You have the Palestinians conveniently forgetting that they fire rockets and suicide bomb Israel on a regular basis and then Israel conveniently forgets that they constantly threaten invasion with tanks and take pot shots at Palestinian civilians for shits and giggles.

It would be almost comical if it weren't for the extreme arrogance surrounding other peoples' deaths, hell I bet even on this thread we're going to see the exact same bullshit too.

The longer the Israeli-Palestinian conflict goes on and the more casualties there are, the more pressure there will be on Israel I'm afraid (to say nothing of the further radicalization of the population in both countries). Hopefully the Israeli government/population will realize its reputation is rapidly worsening and that the occupation is unsustainable and move towards a peaceful resolution; wishful thinking, I know.

Thousands march through French cities in protest of Israeli operation in Gaza Strip; French president says will not allow violence to spill over into France.

Quote

REUTERS - Thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters marched in French cities on Saturday to condemn violence in Gaza, defying a ban imposed after demonstrators marched on two synagogues in Paris last weekend and clashed with riot police.

French President Francois Hollande said he understood emotional responses to the killing of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip in a flare-up of hostilities with Israel but would not allow violence to spill over into France.

"That's why I asked the interior minister, after an investigation, to ensure that such protests would not take place," he told journalists during a visit to Chad.
