The relationship between Judaism and Zionism is not unified, while many Jews see the so-called “Israel” as the realization of their national aspirations, others deal with Zionism with caution or opposition.

A controversial bill recently introduced by two French Senate lawmakers aims to criminalize, jail and fine anyone who dares to criticize “Israel” or anti-Semitism and Zionism.

In an interview with Al-Estiklal, American Jewish activist Medea Benjamin said she believes that pressure on the U.S. government to stop supporting “Israel” with money and arms must continue to compel it to end its aggression on Gaza.

"This is a victory for Palestine," declared Mathilde Panot, leader of the victorious left-wing alliance in the French elections, implicitly highlighting one of the reasons French voters opted for the leftist populist movement.

As global solidarity with Palestinians grows in response to the genocide carried out by “Israel” in Gaza since October 7, 2023, Germany is preparing to suppress the freedom of expression of those opposing this genocide.
