Tensions rise as Palestinian march aims to defy Paris ban

PARIS - Marches in support of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip were being held Saturday in a dozen French cities, but the focus was on Paris, where riot police got ready as organizers said they would defy a ban on the protest.

Paris police chief Didier Lallement ordered shops closed around the starting point of the planned march in a working-class neighborhood in northern Paris after an administrative court confirmed the ban.

Organizers said they intend to “denounce the latest Israeli aggressions” and mark the fleeing of Palestinians after Israel declared independence in 1948.

“Stop Annexation. Palestine Will Vanquish,” read one poster in a small crowd facing off with police, who blocked off the neighborhood. Police said water cannons would be used against those who defy the Paris ban.

Protests were permitted in numerous other cities, including Lille in the north to Marseille on the Mediterranean Sea.

Escalating deadly rocket attacks between Israel and the Palestinian Hamas in Gaza have French authorities on edge, fearing the conflict could also play out in France in the form of violent protests.

The Muslim population is now large enough to defy the authority of the French government, This is all according to the well documented take over of nations by the Muslims throughout history. Those countries not taken over by the sword, that is.

The Palestinians are desperate for relevance right now. Challenging Israel militarily was a huge miscalculation.

France is having to deal with the consequences of letting in a bunch of foreigners. The marchers will be almost entirely Moslems and a handful of pinhead white college girls, many of whom would be among the first the Moslems would want to kill.

"Stop Annexation. Palestine Will Vanquish"

I don't understand. To annex something implies you didn't own it in the first place. Palestine has never been a country or owned land. The PLO simply claimed in 1974 that they were "forming" a state. Everyone yawned and went about their business. Then the PLO started killing people so they would get noticed and, after they killed enough people, the UN gave Arafat a platform and he spoke in the UN, gun in his waistband, and those idiots at the UN said they would "recognize" the PLO. There is no Palestine...never had been. There are no Palestinian lands. End of story.

From Fance 24:

“ Organisers of the Paris march, who failed to have a court overturn the police ban, have announced a press conference for 1:00 pm (1100 GMT) ahead of the expected 3:00 pm start.

“We refuse to silence our solidarity with the Palestinians, and we will not be prevented from demonstrating,” the Association of Palestinians in Ile-de-France, the region encompassing the capital, and other groups said in a statement.

They include anti-fascist associations, the citizens’ activist group Attac and the far-left New Anti-Capitalist party.”

The usual suspects….

I don't know. The communists in Vietnam eventually got their way by having the press help them.

Israel is doing what we should have done in Vietnam. They have no choice-their existence is at stake.

Nice building you had there.

Sorry that it collapsed.

Must have been the weight of all those egos in the building.
