A critic responded by tweeting a picture of a decapitated child referring to the barbarity of the Israeli army which has killed more than 200 children during its assault on Gaza In response to the horrifying image Mr Renaud replied: ‘It’s halal meat and refers to food which adheres to Islamic law where the five million plus strong Muslim community regularly complains about government attempts to outlaw it Mr Renaud is a firm supporter of Israel who regularly takes to Twitter to attack Hamas the UMP mayor of Montreuil-Juigne was on holiday so not able to respond to his assistant’s words but a spokesman said there would be ‘grave consequences’ if the comments turned out to be true A banned pro-Palestine march ended in violence on Saturday and on Sunday a synagogue in a northern suburb of Paris was threatened by a mob of rioters Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said tonight’s protest could go ahead with security stepped up across the capital "I have given specific orders to security forces so they can quickly intervene if any anti-Semitic acts are committed." Anti-Semitic chants are banned under French criminal law and – to date – there has been no evidence of any being used on the marchers Copyright © 2014 - 2025. Middle East Eye Only England and Wales jurisdiction apply in all legal matters Middle East Eye          ISSN 2634-2456
