    French here, I think the information is confirmed. A weird campain is led against this woman, and at that point I’d call it harrassment, especially after the far right ambush set-up that led to the even weirder death of a young neo-nazi militant (the local intelligence had been following them, the police was present and they let the fight happen…), which was blamed on her conference being held nearby.

    The Nemesis collective was linked to it as a planner of said ambush that went haywire. That femonationalist collective was endorsed by a former right-wing minister of national security.

    I really think it’s a sordid campain to undermine any french voice that would talk about the genocide in Gaza.

      I think 2 things are true here:

      1. The government and billionaire media are really nipping at her heels, trying to turn anything related to her into a scandal. See the recent “drug scandal” which turned out to be a nothingburger (she was carrying CBD).

      2. She has tankie-adjacent views, and quoting a guy who did a mass shooting in a civilian airport is in really poor taste. I can’t defend it, “terrorism apologia” seems accurate here.

        Because of the repetitive pattern of sham/shallow accusations which goal is only to give the collaborationist media more material for constant defamation (on her, but also on every leftist voice speaking against the genocide in Gaza and such, which is immediately tagged as “antisemitism” for easy silencing -it’s a globally used strategy, so nothing unfamiliar here, you’ve probably seen it used against many people who are raising their voice against Israel’s crimes against humanity, or their current expansion war -which they roped the USA into). For instance, she has been summoned by the police for her deleted tweet, and they “found” drugs in her purse, except 1- I won’t believe a person summoned to an appointment with the police can be stupid enough to BRING DRUGS in their purse (it was later denied by her lawyer anyway). 2- The info was leaked to collaborationist medias DURING the police custody, which is supposedly both impossible and illegal UNLESS the police themselves leaked something for the medias to gnaw on. And it’s always like that. As for the tweet that got her in “trouble”, it was okay according to international laws (relative to the right of an occupied/subjected to apartheid nation to bear arms to resist the occupant). So, yeah, in France, the collusion of the ultra-rich and far-right media is established, so much so that most people don’t even listen to them anymore. Whatever the country you’re from, the fascists have the same modus operandi, so if you hear corporate media say something and the story is too good to be true, then assume it’s simply no true, especially during war.

          Sure, but in this case she supported and praised an indiscriminate terrorist attack on civilians. That’s grounds for legal trouble regardless of who you are.

            Yup, I’ve read up on it and apparently she erased said tweet. Surely she did it because she realized it would end up badly

              People are speculating that she only deleted it because of the legal consequences, not because she feels any remorse for what she’s condoning and praising.
