The “Israel is Forever” gala is an event in support of Israel organized by several personalities. Minister of Finance, Bezalel Smotrich, known for his positions, was initially expected in person before his spokesperson mentioned speaking remotely.
The location of this gala was kept secret, but the possible intervention of Bezalel Smotrich, who on Monday promised an annexation in 2025 by Israel of Israeli settlements in Judea and Samaria, sparked a wave of anger among the demonstrators on Wednesday evening. “Smotrich assassin, Macron accomplice”, protesters chanted against the Israeli minister.
The Paris police chief, Laurent Nuñez, interviewed on RTL radio on Wednesday, indicated that he had not banned this gala as it did not appear to present any “significant” risk of disturbance to public order. De facto the unrest was caused by pro-Palestinian terrorists who want to impose their law by force and terror in France. The French Ministry of Foreign Affairs regularly “condemns” the comments of this minister, judging them “contrary to international law” and going “against efforts aimed at a de-escalation of regional tensions”. Except that so-called international law is a law of variable geometry seeking to prohibit the sovereignty of the Jewish people over their land. Incidentally, it is this sovereignty that France sought to violate during the visit of this same minister to Israel who wrongly asserted that Eléona benefited from extraterritoriality, which is completely false.
Fears of excesses
In addition to the slogans against Bezalel Smotrich, the demonstrators were protesting more generally against the policies pursued by the Israeli government in Gaza and the West Bank. “Liberate Palestine”, “Israel get out of there, Palestine is not yours”, the demonstrators chanted. These are fascist slogans denying the right to exist of the Jewish State.
For fear of excesses, McDonald's – one of which was targeted by demonstrators who damaged its window – and a Carrefour store had lowered their iron curtains with customers inside.
This gala is also being held on the eve of the Nations League football match between France and Israel scheduled at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis, north of Paris, considered “high risk” by the French authorities after the anti-Semitic attacks that occurred last week in the Dutch capital.
For the match, in the presence of President Emmanuel Macron, the French authorities have planned an “extremely reinforced”, “very unusual” system for a match of this type. A total of 4,000 police officers and gendarmes will be mobilized, and, unusually, in the stadium, as well as on public transport and throughout Paris. Around 1,600 security officers will be at the Stade de France and RAID, the elite unit of the national police, is committed to the security of the Israel team.
The left and the far left, allies of the Islamists in their anti-Semitism, seek to terrorize France and the Jews of France in order to impose their law. This type of demonstration must be banned, their organizers continued as part of a fight against Islamo-leftist terrorism.
