A crowd of around 2,000 people protested in Paris against racism, Islamophobia and violence against children on Sunday after a court allowed their demonstration to go ahead.As migrants continue to flood into Western countries from the US to Australia, and as living standards crash, it seems that it will only be a matter of time before tensions really boil over - which was at least part of the establishment's intention behind weaponised mass migration:
Demonstrators gathered in Paris were holding banners including one reading "long live the resistance of the Palestinian people" during a protest "against racism, against Islamophobia" at the call of various organisations in Paris on 21 April 2024.
Bans on protests have been more frequent in France in recent months amid tensions stirred by Israel's war on Hamas in Gaza.
In a country that is home to large Muslim and Jewish communities, authorities have banned many pro-Palestinian demonstrations and public gatherings, citing the risk of antisemitic hate crimes and violence.
Perhaps that's why rather than just an hold an anti-genocide rally, they instead marched under the banner of 'anti-islamophobia/racism', etc..
On Sunday, the protesters marched peacefully in Paris from the multi-ethnic Barbes neighbourhood towards Place de la Republique.
Many chanted slogans remembering Nahel, a 17-year-old of North African descent who was fatally shot during a police traffic stop last year.
Paris police chief Laurent Nunez told broadcaster BFM TV he initially chose to ban the march because in announcing the protest the organisers had likened French police violence to the war in Gaza, and he felt the event could cause a threat to public order.
The violence meted out by France's police against the Yellow Vest protesters was unprecedented in Europe; 11 people reportedly were killed and over 100 suffered serious injuries, from the loss of an eye to a limb.
That argument was rejected by Paris's administrative court in a fast-track decision.
"Fighting and mobilising for the protection of all children is normal, it should be," said Yessa Belkgodja, one of the organisers of the march, welcoming the court's decision.
"If we are banned from protesting, it means we don't have the right to express ourselves in France. We are being monitored on social media.
That's enough, leave us alone", said Yamina Ayad, a retiree who was wrapped in Palestine flag.
"Perhaps those who know how to kill would be more effective as soldiers than those who have not killed yet, and less dangerous than those who were robbing for decades and then given a machine gun."
"Last year, your Department took action against Grand Canyon University, a predatory for-profit college, over the school's failure to accurately disclose its cost to students, driving up the true cost for those students requiring for them to pay for continuation courses before they would graduate - scam courses added about $10,000 or more to the cost of education to these kids."
