A French court has sentenced a nursing student to three years in prison for allegedly “glorifying terrorism” on social media.

Zaiter said “46 days after an arbitrary and unjust detention for having denounced the genocide and expressed my support for Palestine in Nice, I finally find my daughter.”

The trial highlights France’s stringent stance on public speech and pro-Israel laws.

    White supremacist dogwhistles aside… There’s never any actual real freedom of speech. It’s always political. This is just one current example but speech is widely attacked. Many people are being expelled from their schools, jobs, etc. Most people don’t even dare to speak out. I use this semi-anonymous account and I’m still worried about being attacked. The pro-genocide/zio narrative is the hegemonic narrative that will be violently enforced.
