French police called in to break up US-style pro-Palestinian student demo

ER Editor: Because we are hideous conspiracy theorists, we tend to look for narrative-creation and guiding hands. Let’s appreciate for a moment that for most of the past four years, universities have been utterly repressive places where faculty and students have been virtually forced to be injected with dangerous, untested substances, wear masks and stay at home. There has been zero liberty, ZERO in the way of free speech and questioning where this deep state, military-pharma-driven agenda is concerned. As we reported on earlier this week, students at Toronto’s Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson) now have enough evidence to proceed with a case against the university for its mandatory vax policy. See Former Toronto Met University Students Cleared to Sue School Over COVID Vaccination Policy.

Now, campuses (especially in the US) have become hotbeds of outraged free speech, with masses of students defiantly expressing themselves over their universities’ investment policies and support for Israel. Usefully for the current narrative, we see some pretty hideous police repression right in our faces on camera. A total shift in the narrative use of universities. It’s dizzying. We recommend the channel of Robin Monotti and Cory Morningstar (esp. April 25) for some video extracts.

While we support pretty much anything lawful that gets the Gazan situation stopped and Israel neutered, it smells as if campuses have been instrumentalized somewhere higher up. As the report below indicates, France is getting affected by this, too.

French police called in to break up US-style pro-Palestinian student demo

Authorities at a prestigious Paris university have called in the police to end pro-Palestinian students’ occupation of part of the campus, a protest method that is under way at dozens of American universities.

Law enforcement confronted the protesters, who numbered around 60, and had occupied the Sciences Po university’s Saint Thomas campus in the French capital’s Saint Germain des Pres neighborhood on Wednesday.

The protesters demanded that the university “cut its ties with universities and companies that are complicit in the [ongoing Israeli] genocide in Gaza” and “end the repression of pro-Palestinian voices on campus.”

Undaunted by the authorities, as many as 150 students gathered again on Thursday.

“The director has crossed a red line by deciding to send in the police,” said Ines Fontenelle, a member of the Student Union at Sciences Po.

Union spokeswoman Eleonore Schmitt also said the students would continue to mobilize “despite repression.”

The developments came amid the Israeli regime’s October 7-present genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.

More than 34,300 Palestinians have been killed and over 77,200 others wounded in the war that the regime began following a retaliatory operation by the Palestinian territory’s resistance movements.

The brutal military onslaught enjoys unreserved military and political support on the part of the Israeli regime’s Western allies, including the United States and France.

The Paris student protest came amid underway tent protests on campuses from coast to coast across the United States, including Columbia University, Yale University, Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, and California State Polytechnic in Humboldt.

The American students are similarly asking their universities to cut ties with the Israeli regime, while pressing Washington to drop its support for the war.
