French parliament suspended after MP waves Palestinian flag

The head of France’s national assembly suspended the lower house after Sébastien Delogu, a deputy of the hard-left La France Insoumise (LFI) party, waved a Palestinian flag to draw attention to the Israeli bombardment of Gaza while a junior trade minister was answering a question about the situation in Gaza.

MPs clapped and cheered Delogu on as the national assembly president ruled his actions 'unacceptable’, before security guards removed the flag and MP from parliament. The LFI later posted on X: ‘We will continue to carry the voices of peace everywhere, all the time’

I guarantee this wouldn't happen if Ukrainian or Israel flags are waved in the assembly...

[defensegeneral]

How can you oppose something majority of parliament members are agreeing or cheering for? Does she work for other masters

[matthewbaynham]

They can't ignore the hostages Hamas are holding but the can ignore the hostages Israel have been holding for many years.

It's racist to only value the Israeli civilians who being held hostage by Hamasand completely ignore the Palestinians who have been held hostage by Israel. Palestinians have been held hostage by Israel for many years, well before the 7th October attack, and yet being an innocent Palestinian civilian means they don't count, that is pure racism.
