The French government will deport a Gaza student accused of reposting alleged antisemitic content on her social media and halt all evacuations from the territory, the countrys foreign minister said Friday as outrage grows over her reposts.
She must leave the country. She does not have a place in France, Jean-Noël Barrot said in an interview with radio station France Info, without saying if authorities would return the student back to Gaza.
The foreign minister did not name the woman, who has also been expelled from her university in the northern French city of Lille.
The incident has sparked a political firestorm, dominating French news coverage with the interior minister saying her content amounts to Hamas propaganda.
Other sources indicate her posts in question called for the deaths of Jews everywhere; the concern is the vetting process did not find the recent posts.

(21,090 posts)every Gaza evacuee is being re-vetted. She was brought into France and given a full scholarship in the best political science program in the European Union. But she just couldn't rein in her entitled Jew-hate.
Noar Atallah wasn't speaking out for Palestinians or against Israel.
She was encouraging folks everywhere to attack and murder Jews, including in Paris.
When people show you who they are, believe them.

(1,992 posts)Like she was getting a great education in a beautiful country, and threw it away for some vile online venting. And the lives of the people she thinks her hate was supporting. Such a stupid thing to do. Hatred is such an ugly thing that destroys the person holding it.

Two things can be true. One - that Gazan children are children of war who are suffering from everything being a child of war implies. Note - my late in laws were children of WW2 in Italy. They shared how terrifying it was as little kids to live through that.
At the same time an individual from Gaza can break French law or violate the rules of a French Institution.
From the article:
The womans university, Sciences Po Lille, did not specify the posts that drew controversy, but said the content was in direct contradiction with its values.
(Sciences Po Lille) fights against all forms of racism, antisemitism, and discrimination, as well as against any type of call to hatred, against any population whatsoever, the university said on X on Wednesday.
The college said it had annulled the students enrolment after consulting with several government agencies including the Ministry of Higher Education and Research, whose minister called the students alleged comments extreme.
France does not have to welcome international students who advocate for terrorism, crimes against humanity, and antisemitism. Whether they come from Gaza or elsewhere, international students holding or relaying such statements have no place in our country, the minister, Philippe Baptiste, wrote on X.
Lillie France had one of the few instances of the French Resistance saving French people who are Jews.
It wasn't until 1995 that a French President (Chirac) acknowledged responsibility and involvement in the Holocaust.
In 1990 - Holocaust Denial was outlawed.
In 2020 they enacted a hate speech online law.
This is the consequence of breaking French law.

She also referred to October 7 as "that blessed Saturday morning".
She's Qatar's problem now.
Following an investigation into past antisemitic social media posts, Palestinian student Nour Atallah has been deported to Qatar to complete her studies.
In posts on her X/Twitter account, which has since been deleted, she advocated for the filmed execution of the hostages and shared a video of Adolf Hitler saying, Kill the Jews everywhere.
Atallah also eulogized her uncle, who served as a bodyguard for Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, the founder of Hamas.

But this is specific support for Hamas and their terrorism going back to before Israel went in .
And they can't accuse France of being pro Israel .
