The New Popular Front won 182 seats in the snap parliamentary elections, making it the largest group in the French National Assembly, which has 577 seats. This is obviously a reason for immense satisfaction and relief for millions of French people who were enduring the anti-social policies of Macron's regime. It is also an open opportunity for all those who want real change. That said, and without minimizing the results obtained, it must be remembered that the new Popular Front only secured 31.2% of the seats in the National Assembly and that the percentage of French people who voted for it represents only 25.1% of the votes. In comparison, the Popular Front of 1936 obtained 63.5% of the seats and 57.8% of the French voted for it! This means that the New Popular Front is far behind the 1936 performance. But all this does not take away from the immense success achieved this week. It simply means that the New Front has enormous task to perform to convince more French people of the ne...

The Spanish government has decided to join South Africa in its action at the International Court of Justice against Israel. By doing so, Spain becomes the 50th country to join the camp accusing Israel of genocide against the Palestinian people. It is also the fifth country in Europe to take this step, following Ireland, Belgium, Turkey, and Albania.  For their part, the Belgian and French governments have declared their support for any decision made by the International Criminal Court concerning arrest warrants against the Israeli Prime Minister and Defense Minister.  The genocide against the Palestinian people will not go unpunished.

Snap legislative elections will take place in France on the upcoming 30th of June and 7th of July in an environment marked by the rise of the far right. Western media have mentioned the "anti-Semitic" positions of both the far-right National Rally and ... the New Popular Front of the left! This is what is called a conflation, which aims to create confusion. It is worth remembering that the anti-Jewish policy of the fascist far-right was in effect during the 1939-45 war with France deporting 70,000 French Jews to German concentration camps. In contrast, the Popular Front of 1936 - led by a French Jew - aimed primarily to defend France against the rise of fascism. That was the goal in 1936, and it is also the goal in 2024. The truth is that the far right represented by the National Rally is fundamentally anti-Jewish, while the New Popular Front of the left opposes the policies of Israel responsible for genocide against the Palestinian people, which is not the same thing at all....

No, this is not a statement from Hamas, but from Daniel Hagari, the spokesperson for the Zionist army! It took 37,000 deaths and the destruction of an entire territory for the Zionist army to recognize this!  Why did it take 37,000 deaths to acknowledge this? Because Israel is an occupying army, and colonial occupying armies do not understand that a colonized people can resist.  Why also this "idea"? For a simple reason: Palestine was colonized and its people had only one choice, which was to resist the occupier.  Similarly, the Zionist entity reveals itself for what it is: Europeans who came to colonize a territory, as has been done for centuries. The European settlers who created the Zionist movement are Ashkenazi Jews who have no connection to Palestine. They are Russians, Poles, Belarusians, Austrians, Romanians, etc. The Zionist movement is a racist movement, just like Nazism: it presumes a "pure race."  The Jewish religion was born in Palestine, and people con...

The United Nations has added Israel to the "blacklist" of countries that have committed "grave violations" against children in conflict zones during the year 2023.  It should be noted that a case is ongoing before the International Court of Justice for accusations of genocide, initiated by South Africa with the active support of 55 countries.  It should also be noted that the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court has requested arrest warrants against the Israeli Prime Minister and the Minister of Defense.  These actions, along with others, reflect the progressive isolation of Israel and its condemnation by the international community.

 As the suffering – the genocide – of the Palestinian people unfolds before us, it may be useful to review the events that shed light on what is happening now. Following the war between imperial powers from 1914 to 1918, the British and the French Empires divided the territories of the Ottoman Empire. The Syrian province was then split into two: France took the north, and England took the south, including Palestine. England later "ceded" part of the territory east of the Jordan River to create Jordan. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the Zionist movement gained strength with the aim of finding a territory for the "Jewish people" and considered Argentina in South America, Uganda in Africa, and Palestine in the Middle East. It was England that decided to "cede" part of Palestine to the Zionist movement (Balfour Declaration). While the Palestinians, who were not consulted, refused the colonization of their country and began to resist (Amin al-Hu...
