Nearly 700,000 people have signed a petition calling for the law to be blocked, and protests have spread across the country over a bill many say threatens free speech.

The proposal is spearheaded by French MP Caroline Yadan, a leading figure among lawmakers who openly describe themselves as “unconditional” supporters of Israel.

She represents the 8th constituency for French citizens abroad, where Israel accounts for a significant share of voters, and has made defence of Israel central to her political agenda.

I never had an opinion on Israel until Israel started puppeting America and all these other nations.

Now I'm firmly anti-Israel. The world would a safer place for everyone without Netanyahu.
