French Lawmakers Adopt Definition of Antisemitism That Includes Anti-ZionismStory continues below advertisementBy Ben Cohen, Algemeiner, December 3, 2019:

The French parliament approved on Tuesday a resolution that recognizes and condemns anti-Zionism as a form of antisemitism.
Deputies in the National Assembly voted 154 to 72 to adopt the motion. Several French news outlets commented on the small overall turnout for the vote on the measure, with the majority of the 577 deputies in the parliament opting to abstain amid the political controversy surrounding its content.

sign up!Proposed by Sylvain Maillard of the LREM, President Emmanuel Macron’s ruling centrist party, the centerpiece of the non-binding resolution is the adoption of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism — a text criticized by anti-Zionists for determining that support for the destruction of Israel as a Jewish state, or comparing the actions of Israel to those of the Nazis, is a form of anti-Jewish prejudice.
Originally scheduled for consideration last May, the significance of the resolution has magnified against the background of rising antisemitism in France in recent years. The text was drafted in the wake of last February’s widely-publicized attack by radical ‘yellow vest’ protesters on Alain Finkielkraut, a prominent Jewish philosopher, outside his home in Paris.

UK Jewish Groups Skeptical After Labour’s Corbyn Says ‘Sorry’ for ‘Everything That Has Happened’ Regarding AntisemitismUK Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said in an ITV News interview on Tuesday he was “very sorry” for the antisemitism…
Speaking in favor of the resolution at the parliamentary debate, Christophe Castaner — the French interior minister — referred to the 107 graves in a Jewish cemetery in the eastern Alsace region that were found defaced with swastikas earlier in the day.
“Hatred has no place in the Republic, intolerance has no place in France,” Castaner said.
Addressing critics of the resolution, Castaner argued that the text “affirms loudly and clearly the position of France — it is an unambiguous condemnation of all antisemitic words, acts and gestures.”
Another supporter of the resolution, François Pupponi, told the National Assembly that the IHRA definition would “help to better define the aggravating circumstances of antisemitic crimes.”
One deputy who spoke against the resolution claimed that it was more likely to restrict freedom of speech than meaningfully impact the fight against antisemitism in France. The resolution “will criminalize ideas but does not provide additional tools to fight against antisemitism and against racism,” Pierre Dharréville — a Communist Party representative — told his parliamentary colleagues.
Others criticized the resolution for concentrating on antisemitism alone, with one speaker, Bruno Millienne, urging the legislators “not to make a distinction, but fight at the same time all forms of incitement to hatred.”
Jewish groups meanwhile welcomed the resolution’s adoption. A statement that followed Tuesday’s vote from the Paris office of the American Jewish Committee (AJC) praised the National Assembly’s endorsement of the IHRA definition as “a very welcome and significant boost to France’s determination to recognize the dangers to our society of rising antisemitism and to more effectively fight hatred of Jews in all its forms.”

Contemporary rise of aggressive Antisemitism may have started with the dead — as scores of graves-stones in Alsace, swastikas hideously defaced — but now has boldly migrated against the living.
If the dead generation of Judah cannot rest in peace, what peace will their living children have in the land of Gaul? — Overcast Gallic land, shadowed by militant Islam.
Not only have Jews been migrating OUT of France, with insane Mohammedan influx — and reactive increased militancy of far-right, — but by multiple thousands, circumstances endangered, Jews compelled to migrate within France — flee threat of immigrant hot-spots. ( Reveals much, and may speak volumes… )
The Communist deputy’s protest, reeks hypocrisy two-faced. What words has he spoken against aggressive ISLAM? Any words uttered towards hate preachers, and their angry Mosque congregants? Or in defense, or indifference, has he unseemly bend-over backwards?
France fights for its life, for European civilization, in promoting positive development. ….

Finally realizing that importing anti-zionists is really importing anti-semitism? eh, open-border activists?
adopt all the resolutions you want. if you don’t stop the neo-nazis from coming to your country, one day their children will be in your government; and they will be the ones passing resolutions!

They are aided by the dumb , ignorant Left/Liberal loons coming out of colleges/schools run by pro-jihadi left/liberal loons
And by the time they realise their stupidity they get assaulted , gang raped or murdered like this couple its too late for them http://offtrade.net/cnmnews/libs-say-evil-is-myth/
Problem is they enable evil while not able to see evil thanks to pro-jihadi left/liberal indoctrination in schools/colleges where real history of islam and America is no longer taught.

…dumb , ignorant Left/Liberal loons? I could not disagree more.
The dumb, ignorant Left/Liberal loons know exactly what they are doing.
Traitors have an agenda that transcends patriotism, the rule of law and national security.

The “Melting Pot” agenda is for EVERY White country and ONLY White countries!
It’s not for Japan
It’s not for India
It’s not for Kenya
It’s not for Saudi Arabia
It’s not for Mexico
It’s for EVERY White country on earth. Whites countries need to be MELTED and if you disagree then you are a naziwhowantstokillsixmillionjews! Any planned eradication of a race (aka “Melting Pot” for EVERY White country) is GENOCIDE
Anti-Racist is a codeword for Anti-White

“Antisemitism” is Islam. It’s not just against Jews.
It’s against every Non-muhammadist (see Wikiislam). It’s against every Pole besides the traitors.
Antisemitism is Sharia.
They told us the “Nazis” were the culprits of the extermination camps in which Poles, Jews, Gypsies, Africans, homosexuals, ethical thinkers & others were systematically, tortured & mass-murdered.
The culprits were Muhammadists, they just wanted & continue to fool us into believing that Muhammadism is apolitical, that there is no political Muhammadism, just philosophical, religious, introverted.
An inner Jihad, inner struggle. That Jihad in the sense of unjust warfare & Sharia-tyranny would be a misunderstanding of Islam.
Just like they told us ISIS would have nothing to do with Muhammadism.
& why do you think terrorism by Muhammadists is perpetrated by “Asians” according to the Muhammadist media of Britain?
The yellow cloth (a star) Jews had to wear under Muhammadist Hitler was first introduced long time before Hitler.
Yellow for Jews, blue for Christians.
Hitler suggested the Muhammadization of Europe & finally the world: He lamented over Charles Martel’s victory over Muhammadists in 732 & continued that if Islam would have won they would have as Muhammadist army conquered the world.
Hitler also said that the German temperament would fit Islam better, than Christianity.
Unjust Muhammad:”War is deceit.”

France has willingly imported 6 million committed, dedicated anti semites, so many that nearly two thirds of the French Assembly refused to endorse this resolution by abstaining Its not a victory but a clear indication of the danger which all Jews and Christians are increasingly subject in France asn the rest of Western Europe.

This is so unexpected from France. Perhaps Jews leaving the country by droves has woken the French up? Antisemitism is so inbreed in the country that this will be just about impossible to implement, especially since more than 10% of the populate is now muslim. Nice on paper, just like murder is against the law, but it still happens.
Jeremy Corbyn? Does anyone believe him? What is it, a week before the election? What perfect timing to make an apology. Just enough time for it to get out there, but not enough time for the left leaning press to publish comments and responses that he is lying through his teeth out to the public. If Corbyn wins, and because he was forced to make an apology he will come at Jews and Israel even harder.
Brown shirts, anyone?

Amen to this! Finally, some people are coming to their senses. Of course, we can expect the haters to double-down now and push their disgusting agenda in NA.

How much more loathsome, malicious, and anti-Semitic, anti-Zionist will this fetid excuse of a Republic become? A rhetorical question, as France’s narrative, maintains the same Jew-hatred, perhaps more so than Petain’s Vichy government. France, Germany, and others of the Fascist Union, the EU’s exploitation of Muslims, is but, for one purpose, the ultimate conclusion of Nazism’s Final Solution.
This double-speak is an adopted propaganda ploy to quantify, endorse and, empower the Jew-hatred of European Jews and the demonizing of the alleged Zionist State of Israel. Macron and his EU counterparts, especially Fuhrer Merkel’s inherent hatred, anti-Semitism/Israel sentiments are not dissimilar but aligned with Nazism’s endeavor to eradicate worldwide Jewry.

The resolution was non-binding and shows that actually only 154 of 577 reps of the corrupt French Republic support Israel. Actions speak louder than words and when French prosecutors think it is ok for an Islamic migrant living in public housing to throw an elderly, Orthodox, Jewish woman off her balcony without charging him for murder, that action says it all!
The French Commies were against it which is appropriate since their 1930’s hero, Josef Stalin made a treaty with Hitler and helped him take Poland! Abstaining is disapproval without going on record to formally disapprove of it! The Jew and their Zionist State are alone in France! French Jews need to immigrate to Israel and call the French Republic done and let it go Muslim! Happy Holidays to all rightists!
