The Case For Trump

By Victor Davis Hanson
 

• A fuel tax protest by French drivers appealed to wider anti-government sentiment
• Unlike previous French demonstrations there was no trade union or organised movement involved 
• Demonstrators responded to online petitions and flooded squares to block traffic
• At its height there were almost 300,000 on the streets in support
• Named after the high visibility jackets that drivers must keep in cars 
• Clashes soon turned violent as thousands fought with police at cordons
• An estimated two dozen people lost eyes and many others were admitted to hospital 

• Over 500 Gazans have been evacuated to France since November 2023
• Evacuations were paused after a student already in France posted anti-Semitic content and was subsequently expelled to Qatar
• The Foreign Ministry launched a review to determine how authorities failed to detect the posts before her entry
• Artists and researchers fall under a programme called Pause that began in 2017
• It has benefited more than 700 people from 44 countries, including Syria, Turkey, Iran, and Sudan
• Since the start of the Gaza war, it has also included 45 Gazan beneficiaries
• Unlike students, they are allowed to bring their families to France
