France's interior minister has banned all pro-Palestinian demonstrations in the country.

In a statement, Gérald Darmanin ordered foreign nationals who break the rules to be "systematically" deported.

The move comes as European governments fear a rise in antisemitism triggered by the Israel-Hamas war.

A more civilized country than America bans all pro Palestine protests.

How is this civilized? Banning pro-Palestine protests is quite an authoritarian move, and unjustified IMO. In the past, people in France have been prosecuted for insulting the President. Not a good precedent for civil liberties.

(Unless you're being sarcastic)

I'm mocking Antonio on this forum who bragged France is more civilized than America because America lets Charlie Kirk speak.

Ok, gotcha
