Getting sick of this anti-Semitism card every time anyone blamed Israel for being a oppressing, fascist state.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Family members of some of the 40 French citizens killed in the initial Hamas attack, and of those missing or held hostage, also took part in the march, which Paris police said drew 105,000 participants.

Patrick Klugman, a lawyer and a member of "Freethem" committee working to obtain the release of people held by Hamas and other groups in Gaza, said the large participation in the march is meaningful and symbolic in reassuring Jewish communities in France.

Yonathan Arfi, the president of the Representative Council of Jewish Institutions in France known as CRIF, said he was encouraged by Sunday's show of support, but the question remains, he told French broadcaster BFM at the march, "what will be done (against antisemitism) tomorrow?"

"My role is to build unity of the country and to be firm on values," Macron said Saturday on the sidelines of Armistice Day commemorations to mark the end of World War I.

French far-right leader Marine Le Pen attended Sunday's march amid fierce criticism that her once-pariah National Rally party has failed to shake off its antisemitic heritage despite growing political legitimacy.

France has largely banned pro-Palestinian demonstrations, although supporters have marched in several French cities in the past weeks, including thousands demanding a cease-fire in Gaza in an authorized protest in Paris last Sunday.


The original article contains 721 words, the summary contains 217 words. Saved 70%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne, representatives of several parties on the left, conservatives and centrists of President Emmanuel Macron's party as well as far-right leader Marine Le Pen attended Sunday's march in the French capital amid tight security.

Marching with fascists against antisemitism, great idea. Look how these cute Nazis stand on the right side of history!
