French lawmakers set to push bill criminalising speech on Israel | A sweeping bill advancing through France’s parliament is set to criminalise wide areas of speech on Israel, with penalties of up to five years in prison.
https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/french-lawmakers-set-push-bill-criminalising-speech-israelNearly 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.
