      Over something she wrote on X. Why are they still on X? Just move on and find some European version of it. If politicians move on then slowly but surely everyone will follow along.

      Jfc, she was praising the people who did the Lod Airport massacre where a group of Japanese Communists murdered around 25 Christian pilgrims to Israel as part of a coordination agreement with the PFLP.

      If you didn’t know terrorism was so in vogue in the 60s/70s that terror orgs would swap attacks to make them easier. So the Japanese Red Army faction attacked Israel, because who would suspect Japanese people of wanting to attack Israel, and the Palestinians attacked Japan for the same reason.

      Of all the terror attacks against Israel this is literally one of the most insane to be supporting. The attacks were clearly aimed at civilians, only killed foreign pilgrims, and weren’t even made up of people oppressed by Israel. So in no sane world could this be construed as legitimate resistance.

      Supporters of the Palestinians armed groups have never addressed the issue that the vast majority of Palestinian armed attacks was directly targeted against civilians, and very few attacks had actually as primary targets military members in the exercise of their functions, which is the “resistance” allowed under international law. Probably should actually mention that this right to “armed resistance” is obliquous and not really recognized in any binding document, as it would cause the obvious problem of any disgruntled company of maniacs getting arms and calling themselves a “legitimate resistance”

      The only response to the accusation that group like Hamas or even the Fatah/PFLP targeted overwhelmingly civilians is to say “well about the IDF?”, to which my response is that the IDF clearly commits war crimes and many of their heads should be court-martialed in The Hague, but the majority of its attacks are not explicitly targeting civilians, the IDF acts more by being completely indifferent to civilian loss when pursuing legitimate targets (although the IdF has also attacked civilians explicitly). Anyway, this shows why they can never actually address this issue head on, because the majority of people thinks “blowing a schoolbus full lf children or axing a family to death is a legitimate act of resistance” to be bonkers statements

      Another shitty article. I had to look up and eventually found this:

      “On 26 March, the 33-year-old left-wing politician shared on X an article about Japanese pro-Palestinian activist Kozo Okamoto, a former member of the Japanese Red Army, who participated in an attack on Ben Gurion International Airport in Israel in 1972 that killed 26 passengers.” (Middle East Eye)

      Yeah, serves that terrorist sympathizer right…

      She really dug deep to find the worst people possi le to praise.
      Wtf do you mean japanese communists did a “terrorist swap” and targeted tourists.

      Although her tweet is quite regrettable, let’s be honest, if she had quoted Benjamin Netanyahu in a pro-Israel tweet, no one would have arrested her for supporting war crimes.

      This only gives more ammunition to those who accuse Europe of double standards.

      I sincerely hope that this time there will be real consequences. Enough with the hate speech, the provocations, and the excuses for terrorism. We’re sick and tired of hearing this woman spew her bullshit day in and day out.
      It’s high time justice stopped pampering extremists and finally slammed its fist on the table.

      Can someone explain to me how she *directly* praised terrorism?

      Because this is like someone quoting Hitler saying “smoking tobacco is bad” (an objectively true statement by an obviously despicable man) and then being accused of supporting the Holocaust.

      If [this](https://i.ibb.co/Swg2CCRY/20260402-134210.jpg) is all they have, I find this accusation to be a major stretch

      In before it leads nowhere  and the police once again wasted their time to destabilize  an opponent.

      Nice lets jail left Opposition for tweets while laying Rose Petals on the fascists way to power

      Where is the praise though? It’s a quote. 

      This isn’t sarcasm , genuinely asking where is the praise?
