Paris unites: Thousands march in solidarity with Israel following Hamas terror attacks
Quote
THOUSANDS of people marched in Paris after Hamas attacks on Monday, October 09.

Many carried signs vowing solidarity with Israel. Chants were heard during the protest, some of which directly condemned the terror acts of the Hamas group, and others that served as a beacon of hope amidst the conflict.

"Long live Israel! Israel will win!"

The early morning attack was unleashed into Israeli territory on Shemini Atzeret - a major Jewish holiday.

More than 600 killed, thousands injured and many more missing, feared dead.

French YouTuber says he felt 'uncomfortable' at Vietnamese wedding he crashed in viral video
...
In his now-deleted TikTok video titled “How I joined a Vietnamese Wedding without being invited,” Alwin GC (@alwingc) makes sure to specify that he was not invited to the wedding but asks for entrance as he is “French” and a “YouTuber.” Upon his entry, Alwin explains how uncomfortable he was as “the only white guy" and "the only foreigner.”
...
Eventually, Alwin decides to ask to join a guest table through Google Translate. After his request is accepted, he highlights how he “ate so much food[,] fried food [...] we tried so many different things and then obviously we drank together.”
...
On TikTok, user @queerlamp stitched his video and wrote: “I bet you would not do this at a white american wedding if you came to the US, you’re a french man who felt entitled enough to barge into a vietnamese wedding, you ate their food that they bought for their INVITED guests. Ofc no one invited you to their table, YOU’RE A STRANGE MAN WHO INVITED HIMSELF TO A WEDDING.”

The sentiments are echoed by TikTok user @srirachalesbian, who calls out the “entitlement of white men in Southeast Asia.” Implying the history of French colonization in Vietnam, @srirachalesbian states: “The way you people swear you’re not like your ancestors (your literal grandparents) and then do sh*t like this.”

The negative response to Alwin’s video also spread to Reddit, where the video was uploaded to the subreddit r/VietNam and r/ActLikeYouBelong.

“He’s not even acting like he belongs,” one Reddit user commented. “He just bumbling about and mooching off politeness.”

In response, another commenter wrote, “Even worse, he’s taking advantage of cultural differences in politeness. I think they wouldn’t have felt like they could ask him to leave. Imagine going to a wedding of a loved one, and looking forward to catch up with your relatives – and then you have this **** using google translate to comment on each mouthful he takes. Ugh.”

In another response to the Reddit post, a user offers a simple solution: “‘I wasn’t invited, I didn’t really know what to do’ Leave you f*cking assh*le.”

That the police weren't called on him shows how psychologically colonized many Vietnamese still are.

Woke comments:

He was "uncomfortable" at a private event he wasnt invited to? Am i getting that right? Dude has a serious case of maincharacter syndrome.

Quote
The levels of true, stage 4 oblivitardation are mind blowing.

Is he looking for sympathy or something? He shows up to something he isn’t invited to, worms his way in, makes it about him and then laments how uncomfortable and out of place he was.

Quote
He basically stole from them. He took food and drinks that were not given to him. Someone else paid for it.

Quote
Well here we go again.  Some content creator crashed an event he was not invited to, nor had any business being at.  Ate food and drank from someone's tab, made the discomfort all about himself.

Quote
What gave him the right to do this. Why would he wish to disrupt one of the most important days in some people's life. It's all on him, No MORALS.

Vietnam never invited France during the colonial era either:

Quote
Fourteen French gunships, 3,300 men including 300 Filipino soldiers provided by the Spanish[5] attacked the port of Tourane causing significant damage and occupying the city. After fighting the Vietnamese for three months and finding himself unable to progress further in land, de Genouilly sought and received approval of an alternative attack on Saigon.[4][6]

Sailing to southern Vietnam, de Genouilly captured the poorly defended city of Saigon on 17 February 1859. Once again, however, de Genouilly and his forces were unable to seize territory outside of the defensive perimeter of the city. De Genouilly was criticised for his actions and was replaced by Admiral Page in November 1859 with instructions to obtain a treaty protecting the Catholic faith in Vietnam while refraining from making territorial gains.[4][6]

Peace negotiations proved unsuccessful and the fighting in Saigon continued. Ultimately in 1861, the French brought additional forces to bear in the Saigon campaign, advanced out of the city and began to capture cities in the Mekong Delta. On 5 June 1862, the Vietnamese conceded and signed the Treaty of Saigon whereby they agreed to legalize the free practice of the Catholic religion; to open trade in the Mekong Delta and at three ports at the mouth of the Red River in northern Vietnam; to cede the provinces of Bięn Hňa, Gia Định and Định Tường along with the islands of Poulo Condore to France; and to pay reparations equivalent to one million dollars.[7][8][9]

In 1864 the aforementioned three provinces ceded to France were formally constituted as the French colony of Cochinchina. Then in 1867, French Admiral Pierre de la Grandičre forced the Vietnamese to surrender three additional provinces, Châu Đốc, Hŕ Tięn and Vĩnh Long. With these three additions all of southern Vietnam and the Mekong Delta fell under French control.[8]

NEVER FORGIVE. NEVER FORGET. It will only end when all French colonialist bloodlines have been eliminated.

But them. See this information about how French still colonized their former "African" colonies during modern era, the policy named "Frenchafrique" :

Quote
And the French - humiliated by their defeat and occupation at the hands of the Nazis - were eager to maintain their empire. So they responded to revolts in Algeria, Indochina, and Madagascar with brutal reprisals.

...

By 1960, France was forced to grant independence to almost all its colonies. But something really important happened in Africa. Basically, the leadership of France decided to keep their empire in Western and Central Africa intact in everything but name.

The plan was simple. When an African country gained its independence, it was made to sign a so-called "cooperation agreement" with France, which would outline the nature of their relations moving forward. In exchange for French foreign aid, African countries were required to give France rights over natural resources, allow France to maintain troops in their territory indefinitely, and - most importantly - keep these countries's currencies linked to France's currency, the franc.

Quote
The De Gaulle government created a financial system of the CFA franc (Colonies francaises d'Afrique), with the CFA being the French acronym for "French colonies of Africa". The exchange provided a stable and strong currency for the 14 former French colonies in newly independent Africa, but it also legally required them to provide 50 percent of their foreign currency reserves to the French Ministry of Finance, plus 20 percent financial obligations.

This means that the members of the franc financial zone countries have only 30 percent of the money, with the money printed under the supervision of the National Bank of France. This decree ensured that France's grip on Africa did not end with the announcement of political independence. Worse still, if 14 African countries want to get their money's worth, they'll have to borrow it from France at regulated commercial rates."

...

The West African countries with CFA francs are Mali, Niger, Senegal, Togo, Benin, Burkina Faso, Guinea Bissau and Ivory Coast.

Central African countries with CFA franc currency are Cameroon, Chad, Gabon, Equatorial New Guinea, Republic of Congo, Central African Republic

There's corruption on any people, but the "whites" commit not individual corruption but democratic corruption, or people's corruption which worse. That's result of liberal pervert ideology which rooted from French Revolution which the worldview was influenced by Freemasonry

France's double standard on Palestine
Quote
France's "values charter" bans the discussions of Jerusalem violence taking place currently and also any possible Israeli aggression against Palestinians in the future.

Translation: Let's make France and the French people look like even a bigger joke today than we did yesterday! Time to double-down on hypocrisy yet again, after-all we're Westerners and hypocrisy and evil is our game!

Quote
About 27 years after the Rwandan genocide, French President Emmanuel Macron acknowledged France's role in the mass killings during a visit to the Gisozi memorial site in Kigali, Rwanda's capital. He said that France accepts responsibility for ignoring warnings, but stopped short of an apology or admitting complicity. ⁣

“Where would France be without its huge possessions in Sub-Saharan Africa? Where would France be without its possessions in Asia, without Algeria?” asks Professor Mame-Fatou Niang.

Let's be honest the reason that he is even doing this is because Rwanda is distancing itself from France every year.

Imagine apologizing, yet, absolving any wrongdoing after the fact. You can’t put a disclaimer on an apology and actually think anyone will believe you genuinely meant it.

France has murdered 22 African leaders since the 60's alone. This 'sorry' is a mockery as Macaroni is as bad or maybe even worse than any other French President in history. He is reviled everywhere he goes.

How colonialism objectified and otherised the hijab
Quote
On April 4, 2021, France banned the headscarf for anyone under the age of 18.  But the western conception of the ‘veil’ goes back to the European colonisation of the Middle East, and even further before that.

When France Extorted Haiti – the Greatest Heist in History
Quote
In the 19th century, the thinking went that the former enslavers of the Haitian people needed to be compensated, rather than the other way around.
(Homo Hubris)
Quote
In the wake of George Floyd’s killing, there have been calls for defunding police departments and demands for the removal of statues. The issue of reparations for slavery has also resurfaced.

Much of the reparations debate has revolved around whether the United States and the United Kingdom should finally compensate some of their citizens for the economic and social costs of slavery that still linger today.

But to me, there’s never been a more clear-cut case for reparations than that of Haiti.

I’m a specialist on colonialism and slavery, and what France did to the Haitian people after the Haitian Revolution is a particularly notorious examples of colonial theft. France instituted slavery on the island in the 17th century, but, in the late 18th century, the enslaved population rebelled and eventually declared independence. Yet, somehow, in the 19th century, the thinking went that the former enslavers of the Haitian people needed to be compensated, rather than the other way around.

Just as the legacy of slavery in the United States has created a gross economic disparity between Black and white Americans, the tax on its freedom that France forced Haiti to pay – referred to as an “indemnity” at the time – severely damaged the newly independent country’s ability to prosper.

How France’s Colonial Past Explains Its Racism Today
Quote
Despite resistance from French elite, there’ve been growing calls for France to recognize and apologize for its violent colonization of millions of people in Africa and Asia. In fact, by 1901, France ruled 79 million people over 4.6 million square miles.

“Where would France be without its colonies in the Caribbean?” asks Professor Mame-Fatou Niang. “Where would France be without its huge possessions in Sub-Saharan Africa? Where would France be without its possessions in Asia, without Algeria?”

Is France at war with its Muslims?
Quote
A mosque has been ordered shut and a pro-Hamas group disolved. It follows dozens of raids on muslims and organisations suspected of inciting hatred. The campaign comes after the stabbing and decapitation of a teacher by a Moscow-born Chechen refugee, who was later shot dead by police. Samuel Paty had discussed cartoons of Prophet Mohammed in a class on free speech. President Emamnuel Macron has promised to step up crackdowns on what he calls 'radical Muslims'. He says he's protecting the French people from 'evil'. But will this iron-fist policy work? And how much is politics at play?

Al-Nakba: The Palestinian catastrophe - Episode 1
Quote
Al-Nakba: The Palestinian catastrophe

"The Nakba did not begin in 1948. Its origins lie over two centuries ago…."

So begins this four-part series on the 'nakba', meaning the 'catastrophe', about the history of the Palestinian exodus that led to the first Arab-Israeli war in 1948, and the establishment of the state of Israel.

This sweeping history starts back in 1799 with Napoleon's attempted advance into Palestine to check British expansion and his appeal to the Jews of the world to reclaim their land in league with France.

The narrative moves through the 19th century and into the 20th century with the British Mandate in Palestine and comes right up to date in the 21st century and the ongoing 'nakba' on the ground.

Arab, Israeli and Western intellectuals, historians and eye-witnesses provide the central narrative which is accompanied by archive material and documents, many only recently released for the first time.

For Palestinians, 1948 marks the 'nakba' or the 'catastrophe', when hundreds of thousands were forced out of their homes.

But for Israelis, the same year marks the creation of their own state.

This series attempts to present an understanding of the events of the past that are still shaping the present.

This story starts in 1799, outside the walls of Acre in Ottoman-controlled Palestine, when an army under Napoleon Bonaparte besieged the city. It was all part of a campaign to defeat the Ottomans and establish a French presence in the region.

In search of allies, Napoleon issued a letter offering Palestine as a homeland to the Jews under French protection. He called on the Jews to ‘rise up’ against what he called their oppressors.

Napoleon’s appeal was widely publicised. But he was ultimately defeated. In Acre today, the only memory of him is a statue atop a hill overlooking the city.

Yet Napoleon's project for a Jewish homeland in the region under a colonial protectorate did not die, 40  years later, the plan was revived but by the British.
