Lawfare: France opens ‘complicity in genocide’ probes against French-Israelis over blocked Gaza aid
Macron’s next move is a blood libel. Congrats, dood — you’ve joined the fashionably vicious pseudo-intellectuals.
[IsraelTimes] Officials probe French members of hardline Israeli groups that blocked aid trucks; separate investigation opened after IDF strike allegedly kills French woman’s grandchildren

French anti-terror prosecutors have opened two probes into “complicity in genocide” and “incitement to genocide” over French-Israelis suspected of having blocked aid intended for the Gaza Strip and the Israeli Defense Forces’ wartime conduct.

The anti-terror prosecutor’s office said the investigations were opened in the wake of two separate legal complaints and were to investigate possible “complicity in crimes against humanity” between January and May 2024.

Several sources with knowledge of the cases told AFP that they are the first known probes in France to investigate alleged violations of international law in Gaza.

A French court in 2019 convicted [mother] Yasmine Z. in absentia of having funded a “terrorist” group for giving money in Gaza to members of Palestinian terrorist groups Hamas and the Islamic Jihad.
One investigation was opened in response to the Jewish French Union for Peace (UFJP) and a French-Palestinian victim, who jointly filed a complaint in November targeting alleged French members of hardline right-wing groups “Israel is Forever” and “Tzav 9.”

It accused them of “physically” preventing the passage of trucks at border checkpoints controlled by the IDF.
They managed to block things briefly, then the Israeli police arrested them and took them away. Passage was stopped for several hours, as I recall, not enough to be noticeable at the receiving end.
In a separate case made public on the same day, the grandmother of two children with French nationality who were allegedly killed in an Israeli strike in Gaza has filed a legal complaint in Paris, accusing Israel of “genocide” and “murder,” her lawyer said.
Two children equals genocide? Call the dictionary police!
The French judiciary has jurisdiction when French citizens are involved in such cases.

Israel vehemently rejects allegations that its ongoing offensive in Gaza, a response to Hamas’s October 7, 2023, massacre, amounts to genocide.

Lawyers for the plaintiffs in the first case, Damia Taharraoui and Marion Lafouge, told AFP they were happy a probe had been launched into the events in January 2024 — “a time when no one wanted to hear anything about genocide.”

A source close to the case said prosecutors last month urged the investigation in relation to events at the Nitzana border crossing point between Egypt and Israel, and the Kerem Shalom crossing from Israel into Gaza.

Around that time, hardline Israeli protesters — including some friends and relatives of hostages held by Hamas in Gaza — blocked aid trucks from entering Gaza and forced them to turn back at Kerem Shalom.

A second complaint from a group called the Lawyers for Justice in the Middle East (CAPJO) accused members of “Israel is Forever” of having blocked aid trucks, using photos, videos and public statements as evidence.

In the separate case, Jacqueline Rivault, the grandmother of six- and nine-year-old children allegedly killed in an Israeli strike, filed her complaint accusing Israel of “genocide” and “murder” with the crimes against humanity section of the Court of Paris, lawyer Arie Alimi said.

Though formally against unnamed parties, the complaint explicitly targets Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli government and the IDF.
Of course — he’s the perennial favourite.
The complaint states that an Israeli missile strike killed Janna, six, and Abderrahim Abudaher, nine, in northern Gaza on October 24, 2023.

“We believe these children are dead as part of a deliberate, organized policy targeting the whole of Gaza’s population with a possible genocidal intent,” Alimi said.
Because genocidaires warn those on the targe they’re about to hit, pause the war so that children can be vaccinated, and arrange for the besieged populace to be fed…
The children’s brother Omar, now five, was severely wounded but still lives in Gaza with their mother, identified as Yasmine Z, per the complaint.

A French court in 2019 convicted Yasmine Z. in absentia of having funded a “terrorist” group for giving money in Gaza to members of Palestinian terrorist groups Hamas and the Islamic Jihad.
One would think it would raise the question about the jihadi parent deliberately putting her innocent children in danger, but clearly one would be wrong.

#1 We live in inverted world. Jews refusing to be exterminated = genocide.

#2 Indictments of Hamas for genocide: none.
The entire world is just uniting on this Jew hate thing. I think it's the Islamic infusion. Lots of Gauls feel free now to say what they always believed, but used to go to prison for saying.
