After French football star Karim Benzema criticised “unjust bombings which spare no women or children” in a social media post about Israel’s assault on Gaza, France’s Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin accused him – without evidence – of having links to the Muslim Brotherhood. A French senator also called on Benzema to be stripped of previous football awards as well as his French citizenship.

Don't kill women and children you say? Classic Muslim Brotherhood behaviour. Take his citizenship boys

Taking issue with Israel's genocide is not the same as antisemitism. Anti-genocide ≠ antisemitism

The problem is that saying Israel has no right to exist and that the whole country should be Palestine is antisemitism though. And especially in the pro-gaza-crowd that line is often crossed.

Broken article link, are these getting common in this community?

Edit : seems like aljazeera.net's been down for a while.
