NEW YORK (VINnews) In a landmark legal decision, France's National Court of Asylum (CNDA) has ruled that all Palestinians living in Gaza are now eligible to apply for full asylum status in France, a move with sweeping political and social implications.
The French court was ruling on a case brought by a Palestinian mother seeking asylum in the wake of the Islamist Hamas October 7th terror attacks on Israel. France's National Court of Asylum (CNDA) ruled in her favour given the "war methods" of the IDF in Gaza, which the court found were "serious enough to be regarded as methods of persecution."
The decision overturned a previous rejection from the French Office for the Protection of Refugees and Stateless Effrusion (OFPRA) in November, which noted that the Palestinian woman was not specifically being "persecuted" and therefore could only be eligible for "subsidiary protection", a lesser form of asylum which only allows for a four-year temporary residence permit rather than the ten years of protection guaranteed to refugees.
What an idiotic decision. It seems France's leaders are still bound and determined to commit cultural suicide. I can't even fathom how angry I would be if I was a French citizen.
Hubris, plain and simple. I became initmately acquainted with this while serving with the "occupation" forces of Berlin (essentially, US, Brit, and French in West Berlin).
La grandeur franaise - "reflects France's historical sense of national greatness, cultural superiority, and political influence, particularly during periods like the reign of Louis XIV, the Napoleonic era, or the height of French colonialism".
Running roughshod over third world colonies, having to look back in history to see any relevence fo your country, and being subsumed as a culture by Napoleonic complex does that.
combine it with EU's increasing authoritarianism - disenfranchising voters and entire countries... it's what you would expect.
