European Antisemitism > France finds out innocent Gazans not so innocent; Sweden jumps on anti-Israel wagon train; Slovenia starts new wagon train against arms to Israel

 

France: Gazan brought to country as ‘gesture of solidarity’ to be deported after posting ‘Kill the Jews everywhere’


What did these French clowns think would happen when they started bringing Gazans into the country? Did they think they would encounter noble, wise, visionary people who weren’t allowing being victimized to interfere with their serenity? Of course, French authorities, like authorities all over the West, have been lying to their people for over two decades about Islam and jihad, so the French people don’t have the first clue about the depth and persistence of Islamic antisemitism.


France halts all evacuations from Gaza over alleged antisemitic reposts by Palestinian student

by Michael Rios, Saskya Vandoorne, and Joseph Ataman, CNN, August 1, 2025:

The French government will deport a Gaza student accused of reposting alleged antisemitic content on her social media and halt all evacuations from the territory, the country’s foreign minister said Friday as outrage grows over her reposts.

“She must leave the country. She does not have a place in France,” Jean-Noël Barrot said in an interview with radio station France Info, without saying if authorities would return the student back to Gaza.

The foreign minister did not name the woman, who has also been expelled from her university in the northern French city of Lille.

The incident has sparked a political firestorm, dominating French news coverage with the interior minister saying her content amounts to “Hamas propaganda.”

The French and Israeli vetting of her before she arrived in France did not reveal the “antisemitic and unacceptable” posts, Barrot said, adding that all French evacuations from Gaza would now be suspended pending the results of an inquiry into the case.

France has evacuated hundreds of people from Gaza since the October 7, 2023 Hamas attacks on Israel, and just last Tuesday Barrot said France was “dedicating lots of energy,” to get starving journalists from French news agency AFP out of the enclave. The foreign ministry has yet to say if these evacuations will continue….

Sciences Po Lille: The Gazan student posted on X a message glorifying Hitler and a call for the execution of the hostages

translated from “SciencesPo Lille : l’étudiante Gazaouie avait reposté sur X un message glorifiant Hitler et un appel à l’exécution des otages,” i24News, July 29, 2025 (thanks to David):

Nour Atalla, a 25 -year-old Gazan evacuated in February 2025 for humanitarian reasons, was the subject of lively controversy. Welcomed under the status of refugee, she obtained a scholarship in Sciences Po Lille, funded by a program of assistance to the Palestinians. Her arrival had been praised as a gesture of solidarity, symbolizing the French commitment to the civilians of Gaza in the middle of the conflict.

However, only two days after October 7, Nour Atalla, who was housed by the director of Sciences Po Lille, shared a call for the execution of the hostages held by Hamas. A message that specified that executions should be filmed in “high quality” and videos sent to Western universities and media.

In September 2024, she then replied several publications glorifying Adolf Hitler, qualifying the Nazi dictator as “visionary” and celebrating his anti-Semitic ideas. These posts, spotted by Internet users, caused an uproar.



Sweden adds to pressure on EU to suspend trade with Israel

July 31 (UPI) -- Sweden on Thursday joined other European countries in calling on the European Union to freeze its trade deal with Israel to force the country to allow humanitarian aid to Gaza.

Other countries -- Ireland, Spain, Slovenia, the Netherlands and Luxembourg -- have already spoken out on human rights violations in the region.

"Using starvation of civilians as a method of warfare constitutes a war crime," said Foreign Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard during a press briefing on Wednesday. "We now propose that the EU suspends the trade section of the agreement as soon as possible. We'll be very clear with the Commission on this matter."

Here's an idea, why don't you send a contingent of Europeans to drive those trucks into Gaza and see if any of you come out alive? Israel is not the problem here, Hamas is shooting their own people and those who deliver the food. They want Gazan's starving because it makes good press for them and causes hapless governments to do stupid things like suspend trade agreements.

The EU-Israel Association Agreement, which was updated on July 10, gives Israel preferential access to the EU market in exchange for commitments to human rights and humanitarian access. Stockholm says Israel has failed to uphold its commitments. Trade measures can be changed with a majority vote among all 27 EU member countries.

"The situation in Gaza is utterly deplorable, and Israel is not fulfilling its most basic obligations and agreed-upon commitments regarding humanitarian aid," Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson agreed on X. "At the same time, pressure on Hamas must increase so that the hostages are released immediately and unconditionally. Sweden welcomes the fact that more countries in the Middle East are demanding that Hamas be disarmed and not have a role in the future governance of Gaza."

The European Commission on Monday proposed suspending parts of the EU-Israel Association Agreement involving a flagship research project, citing a "humanitarian catastrophe" that it said threatens "virtually the entire Gaza population." The initiative was ultimately blocked at a meeting of envoys on Tuesday by Germany and three other member countries.

On Wednesday, the Netherlands announced it advocated suspending the trade chapter of the agreement.

A spokesperson for Dutch Foreign Minister Caspar Veldkamp said "the minister welcomes that Sweden joins the Netherlands in our call."

"We need to increase pressure on the Israeli government because they must do more to facilitate humanitarian aid. The agreement between the EU and Israel on humanitarian aid and access must be fully honored," the spokesperson added.

    Slovenia becomes first EU nation to ban weapons to Israel

    Aug. 1 (UPI) -- Slovenia on Friday imposed a ban on all weapons trading with Israel becoming the first European country to do so over the growing humanitarian crisis in the Palestinian enclave in Israel's ongoing war.

    Its government said in a statement that at the initiative of Prime Minister Robert Golob, Slovenia signed off on its decision that prohibits "the export and transit of military weapons and equipment from or through the Republic of Slovenia to Israel, as well as the import of such goods from Israel into the Republic of Slovenia."

    It added that Israel's actions had constituted "serious violations of international humanitarian law" and that Slovenia would prepare "some more national measures" in the "coming weeks," according to the statement.

    The prime minister's decision, according to the Slovenian government, stems from a promise to "act independent" if the EU "failed to adopt concrete measures" by July.

    "Due to internal disagreements and lack of unity, the European Union is currently unable to fulfil this task," the statement said in part.

    On Monday, a European Commission proposal to partly suspend EU weaponry aid to Israel was blocked as Sweden became the most recent to apply pressure over trade.

    Nearly 70% of Israel's arsenal is imported from the United States with Germany its second-biggest supplier and Italy at third.

    Slovenian officials have repeatedly called for a cease-fire and its government increased aid delivery to the war-torn territory.

    On Friday, it said people in Gaza are dying "because humanitarian aid is systematically denied to them. They are dying under the rubble, without access to drinking water, food and basic healthcare."

    Slovenia's government called it a "complete denial of humanitarian access" and a "conscious prevention of basic conditions for survival."

    Bibi - invite Slovenia to come and deliver the aid!

    Last year in June, Slovenia became one of the first in Europe to recognize Palestine as a state.

    Israel has exported more than $560 million in weaponry since October 2023 when Iran's terror syndicate attacked and took Israeli hostages.

    Italy, Spain, Belgium and the Netherlands have since either restricted or halted exports.

    This week, the Dutch government banned Israel's national security minister and finance chief from its borders.

    The foreign ministers of Britain and 28 other nations including Canada, France, Italy and Australia recently issued a joint statement saying Israel's ongoing war with Hamas in Gaza had "reached new depths" and "must end now."

    Qatar in March called on international leaders to bring Israel's nuclear facilities under the watch of the International Atomic Energy Agency.

    Chile's president has sharply criticized Israel's military actions in Gaza as the South American nation seeks to replace Israel as Chile's primary arms supplier.

    Golob visited the United States last year in October and met with then-U.S. President Joe Biden prior to November's presidential election.

    "It is the duty of every responsible state to act," the Slovenian leader's statement continued. "Even if this means taking a step ahead of others."
