A co-founder of the Free Gaza movement, Mary Hughes-Thompson, raised the possibility that Israel was behind the deadly attacks that hit Paris on Friday night and killed 120 people.

"I haven't accused Israel of involvement. Still, Bibi [Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu] is upset about the European settlement boycott. So who knows," Hughes-Thompson tweeted following the attacks on Saturday morning.

Please be considerate and provide us with some context. Going to websites in Bizarro World without the protection of a little knowledge is foolish at best.

Crazy theories about Israeli false flag operations are pretty much dog-bites-man stories. Pretty much a cliche and inevitable that some bigoted loon will accuse Mossad of conducting any given terrorist attack.

had the temerity to enact regulations calling for accurate geographic origin labeling.

I guess they think this shows that they share our values or something.

Did the Israeli government condemn the Beirut bombing?

a conservative backer of Israel posted yesterday, in the aftermath of the attack, as a commentary on the EU adopting a labeling policy consistent with the foreign policy of both the EU and United States.

That was the reaction-- to use that tragedy and atrocity as a way of taking shots at Europe and here the Palestinian cause.

The cynicism and lack of human decency required to use a horrific tragedy as fodder for cheap shots against critics of Israel is what we've come to expect of those who practice Netanyahuism.

I don't believe that interpretation of yours.

That was posted way before the attacks.

the Palestinian people... Same as Greta Berlin..

The problem with these non-Palestinian "activist" groups in the USA and Europe such as the Free Gaza Movement and the International Solidarity movement and the BDS movement and even a lot of armchair keyboard warriors is that they not motivated by support of the Palestinian people but instead by their bigotry of Jews.

The Palestinian people come to the table quite legitimately.

However these western groups and American supporters for example the free Gaza Movement and the BDS movement have proven many many times before that their support of the Palestinian cause is more about Jews than it is about the occupation.

The BDS movement recently wouldn't allow an American Jew to perform in a Reggae festival but did allow a filth homophobic gay hating bigot to perform in the same festival.

The BDS movement in South Africa left a severed pigs head in a kosher Jewish supermarket.
