In Paris protesters gathered to express their support for Palestine unprecedented and successful surprise military operation against Israel.By land, air and sea, with missiles, drones and even manned hang gliders, the Palestinian resistance sent illegal settlers fleeing, captured Israeli soldiers, and, commandeered and confiscated Israeli military equipment to the joy of longtime pro Palestinian activists.
We are all witnessing incredible actions by the Palestinian armed resistance, who, as far as we know, manage to come out of this huge concentration camp that Gaza is and inflict severe losses to the Israeli soldiers and settlers. We are looking at the news every minute.

The reasons for the offensive seem to be too many to count. This year has already seen a record annual number of West Bank children murdered where Israel wages ten police raids every day.
Tel Aviv has recently approved the construction of thousands of additional illegal settlements, which one Palestinian official views as a declaration of open war against the Palestinian people.
Last year Israeli murders of West Bank Palestinians reached their highest level since 2005. While the Israeli blockade of Gaza, which has been ongoing since 2007, is routinely labeled a crime against humanity.
Israel’s horrific crimes against Palestinians go back many, many, decades, but so does the collaboration in these crimes by Western governments, who often claim to defend human rights.
Today, we are of course going to congratulate the Palestinian resistance and to expose the complicity of our government, to start with the French government who has never stopped collaborating with Israeli occupation and colonization because, nobody says it but it’s not two armies, one against the other, it’s people that are occupied and people that are occupying.

More protests in support of Palestinians are expected to take place, despite the fact that in 2014 France, infamously, became the first country in the world to ban pro Palestinian demonstrations.
