The flag of Morocco is in the upper right hand corner. ©  Getty Images/Sean_Warren Racism, anti-Semitism, and xenophobia are on the rise in France and tolerance is declining, the National Consultative Commission on Human Rights (CNCDH) said in an annual report published on Thursday. According to the report, 2023 was marked by a “very sharp” 32% increase in racist acts, and a 284% “explosion” of anti-Semitic acts, as per Interior Ministry statistics. Among the reasons for the trend, the report cites Israel’s offensive against Hamas in Gaza, polarizing debate over recent ...

Posted by: John Phoenix The French president could be on the verge of regime-changing himself, with his establishment party’s support below that of the opposition. By Rachel Marsden, a columnist, political strategist, and host of independently produced talk-shows in French and English. rachelmarsden.com French President Emmanuel Macron. ©  ludovic MARIN/AFP The latest French national polls show a final face off between the anti-establishment right and left, and the total decimation of President Emmanuel Macron’s Renaissance party. Looks like he may have fooled himself into thinking that dumping all over the political chessboard was a big-brained three-dimensional move.  In the wake of the anti-establishment National Rally party winn...

#FreeBashir: Iranian music maestro victim of French repression of pro-Gaza activism

Posted by: John Phoenix By Ivan Kesic Last week, in a move widely condemned as part of the French government’s ongoing repression of pro-Palestinian activism amid the Nazi Holocaust on Gaza, an Iranian national was arrested in France. Bashir Biazar, a renowned music maestro and cultural figure, has been languishing in a French jail for the past week after being accused of “supporting terrorism” and “causing discord in the community” over his advocacy of the Palestinian cause and opposition to the Nazi Holocaust on Gaza. Previously the production manager at the Music and Song Department of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) in Tehran, Biazar was summoned by French police in Paris on June 4 without explanation or a warrant. Much to his surprise, he was ...

French “civil war”? Or a Gladio operation triggered by US Globalist class?

I unpack the recent ramping up of violence in France on UK Column News VANESSA BEELEY AI image circulating on social media. On UK Column News 5th July I unpack the recent increase in violence in France and the surge of right-wing propaganda criminalising France’s Muslim population. For context I include an excerpt of something I wrote in 2021 about the 1961 massacre of Algerian refugees in Paris and I recommend watching this short animated movie called Tears of the Seine. The refusal to recognize victims boils down to a message that one person’s life doesn’t have the same value as another’s. And 17 October 1961 shows that the life of an Algerian was worth very little. This sign of contempt and injustice is still felt in diffuse ways by new generations ...

French rioters and Palestinian fighters send similar messages

By James Dorsey At first, comparing Palestinian gunmen in the Israeli-occupied West Bank to rioting youth in France may resemble likening apples to pears. In many ways, it is. Youth in France are fully-fledged French citizens demanding an end to disenfranchisement, marginalisation, alienation, racism, and law enforcement and security force brutality. That is where Palestinians would like to be after 56 years of occupation with no prospect for independence or integration into Israel with the kind of rights accorded to all, irrespective of ethnicity or religion, by French law, even if reality in France offers a different picture. Yet, armed Palestinian resistance and French rioting have a common message: violence results from governmental and societal failure to...

How the KKE uses Marxist terminology to cover its retreat from Marxism

What is the impact of the anti-Marxian theory of the ‘imperialist pyramid’? Joti Brar Subscribe to our  channel This article was originally written for Platform, the organ of the World Anti-imperialist Platform. ***** On the basis of a Marxist analysis of the rapidly escalating imperialist war drive, anti-imperialists of the communist movement came together last year to form the World Anti-imperialist Platform. This was done in order to apply our energies to what has been identified as the most pressing priority facing our movement at this moment: to rally the widest possible forces in support of the struggle against the US-led imperialist bloc – a struggle which has the potential to unleash the next, decisive wave of socialist revolutions ...
