French authorities are seeking a 10-month suspended prison sentence and a two-year ban from public office for European Parliament lawmaker Rima Hassan after prosecutors accused her of glorifying terrorism in online remarks, intensifying scrutiny of her controversial anti-Israel rhetoric.
Hassan — a 34-year-old French-Palestinian lawyer and activist who was elected to the European Parliament in 2024 — is standing trial in France over social media remarks which prosecutors have linked to support for terrorism, including a quote from one of the perpetrators of the deadly 1972 Tel Aviv airport massacre that killed 26 people.
Expected to be handed down on Nov. 30, the sentence would not require Hassan to serve time in prison unless she violates the conditions of the suspended term, while the proposed two-year ban would bar her from holding public office.
Again, what do you expect would happen when you openly support an actual terror event while you’re in office? It’s the law being applied and that’s that, that kind of free speech will land you in jail yes, that’s literally written into law?
She broke the law, she got consequences for it, LePen should too, and that’s that…
Hamas is not a terrorist organization. That’s propaganda.
Are you fucking serious? Next you want to tell me Putin is a great guy?
No I will not do that. They are resistance fighters fighting their genocidal prison state oppressors. They literally have no rights, anything and everything they do is under Israeli scrutiny. In a genocidal war of total asymmetry, it is more than expected for the prisoners to fight their way out by any means necessary.
Can you tell me how it got to the point of prison state? Like what was it like before and what happened that a wall was built?
70 years of Israelis perpetrating genocide and ethnic cleansing upon Palestinians.
I expect people supporting genocide to go to jail. Are they in jail yet?
There is no law. There is only censorship against supporting the Palestinian resistance.
