      https://www.reuters.com/world/french-far-left-member-european-parliament-rima-hassan-held-police-custody-2026-04-02/

      Rima Hassan, a French far-left member of the European ​Parliament, was arrested on Thursday over a ‌comment she posted on X last month about an attack on an Israeli airport in the 1970s, her ​fellow party member Jean-Luc Melenchon said.

      The message was related to the 1972 attack by ​the Japanese Red ​Army far-left ⁠militant group at Lod airport in Tel Aviv, which resulted in ​26 deaths.

      It seems the media may not know what her exact comment was yet.

        I mean, how many civilians are the IDF shooting in Gaza per day now? Especially with their new execution law?

        Why are we supposed to get worked up about 26 deaths over 50 years ago given that context?

          It is not about the number of death, it is about the apology of terrorism from a member of the European Parliament. When one disagrees with terrorisme doesn’t implies ones accept the genocide in Gaza

            The entire EU parliament is straight up materially supporting a genocide but a retweet of resistance goes too far lol. What kind of moral standards do you think there are left?
