Violent clashes erupt in France between Palestinian and Israeli supporters on International Women’s Day
A clash breaks out between pro-Israeli and pro-Palestinian supporters in Paris demonstration
In a recent demonstration held in Paris in honor of International Women’s Day on March 8th, tensions rose as groups of Israeli and Palestinian supporters clashed in the street. The demonstration, organized by associations advocating for women’s rights, attracted a diverse crowd with individuals showing support for both Palestine and Israel.
The confrontation between the two groups escalated quickly, with the pro-Israel group, predominantly made up of men, engaging in physical altercations with the pro-Palestinian group, which included a significant number of women. Israeli supporters resorted to violence by attempting to punch their adversaries and using pepper spray.
On the other side, activists supporting Palestine fought back by pushing the pro-Israeli supporters away and engaging in verbal disputes. Both groups exchanged harsh slogans while knocking over garbage bins in the chaos.
As the situation intensified, the Israeli supporters began to disperse from the scene, prompting the intervention of a special police unit to restore order and prevent further escalation of the conflict. The clash serves as a reminder of the deep-rooted tensions between supporters of Israel and Palestine, even in demonstrations focused on celebrating women’s rights.
