Guest of “Sud Radio”, the MP for La France insoumise described the Islamist movement as a resistance movement, without confirming the terrorist nature of the organization.
“Is Hamas a resistance movement?” To this question, Danièle Obono replied “Yes”. “It is an Islamist political group which has an armed wing, which aims to liberate Palestine and which resists occupation “ added the rebellious MP, guest of Sud Radio, Tuesday October 17.
In the process, the French Jewish Youth association announced on the social network the filing of a complaint for “apology of terrorism”. The Minister of the Interior intends to do the same. “Hamas, ‘a resistance movement’? No! It’s a terrorist movement. I’m contacting the public prosecutor for advocating terrorism”wrote Gérald Darmanin on X.

“Enough manipulation”reacted Danièle Obono. “I said that Hamas was an Islamist political group which declares its action to be part of the resistance to the occupation of Palestine”, clarified the rebellious MP. It’s not “neither an excuse, nor support, nor condonation for his despicable war crimes against Israeli civilians”she adds in her message.
La France insoumise also reacted to X by reaffirming its condemnation “ in totality the crimes committed during the attack carried out by Hamas on Israeli territory”and all “war crimes likely to be reclassified as crimes against humanity by international justice”And this “whoever the authors are”. “France must take a position for an immediate ceasefire agreement and support all mediation initiatives enabling this objective to be achieved”supports the far-left party.

However, other dissonant voices within La France insoumie were heard. “Hamas is an Islamist terrorist organization. Saying that does not prevent us from saying that Israel should not murder an entire civilian population”said MP Raquel Garrido on. “Hamas is NOT a resistance movement…” also stated on MP Alexis Corbière, relaying the front page of the newspaper Humanity. “I share…” François Ruffin soberly declared, republishing Alexis Corbière’s message.
