Fighting in the Middle East in the past has led to tensions in France, which is estimated to have the world’s third-largest Jewish population after Israel and the U.S., and the largest Muslim population in Western Europe.

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. More than 2,000 cases of antisemitic speech have been reported to an online watchdog force.

It said pro-Palestinian demonstrations should be banned and those who defy bans should be arrested, ‘’because they are susceptible to disrupt public order.’’

Pro-Palestinian associations decried the move. The National Collective for a Fair and Lasting Peace between Palestinians and Israelis said it ‘’denounces this threat to freedom of expression,’’ and pledged to continue holding actions to support the Palestinian people.

Denouncing Hamas as a terrorist group, Macron called for peace efforts that would ensure both Israel’s security and a Palestinian state.

      edit2: word brians => brains

      Isn’t it proven or shown that, we humans tend to get tribal, different opposing groups and all that.

      That why is is good to self reflect on what our brains tell or make us feel.

      Instead of trying to get rid of religion, we can just learn about all of them starting in school, while keeping the cultural traditions, excluding the extremes.

      Would only work if religions have civil discourse within each other and with each other, still a tricky subject.

      This is all rooted in American hegemonic control, not religion. Jews and Arabs have historically gotten along well. Fuck America.
