This is getting ridiculous lol. Benzema is an Algerian Muslim, of course he is going to support Palestine but what does it have to do with his achievements on the field? He had an amazing season and deserved that ballon d’Or whether he supports Palestine or Israel.

[–] hokagesamatobirama@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

The Ballon d’Or thing is insignificant. Accusing Benzema of having connections with Muslim Brotherhood is a much more serious accusation. And to say that he’ll withdraw the accusation if he tweets xyz thing I want just shows you the current situation in France. It is despicable from this guy. That he is a minister just makes the situation even more ridiculous.

Free speech in the west only exists if it fits their narrative. It’s disgusting

[–] SofaKingI@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

in the west

As opposed to? Please just one example, so we can all have a good laugh.

Also TIL the actions of one western country reflect on all like 70 of them.

r/soccer out here every day breaking records for the most bias you can insert into the least amount of words.

Yes the west should learn from china, iran and russia

[–] Powerful-Payment5081@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah , this is a very sweeping statement. Are you trying to say that people in the east ( Russia , China and the Arab gulf) have more freedom of speech?

It has nothing to do with the ballon d’or or his football ability at all. Not sure why you think that

[–] hokagesamatobirama@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I was responding to OP who brought up the BdO thing. My comment literally downplays the BdO thing.

As for OP, they are most likely conflating it with the statements made by Valerie Boyer who said Benzema’s BdO should be stripped.

[–] RyVsWorld@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Didn’t mean to respond to you. Actually thought i was responding the other guy

[–] when_the_sun_rises@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

and the west is allied with Israel so ofc they are going to not support Palestine. You see how it goes

Do you value some trophy of accomplishment more than him raping a 15 yo? I guess that's on par for most football fans.. Very rational beings.

Oh that's the state of western civilization become. Source of freedom of thoughts and speech. (If you agree with them, you know)

Name one non-western country with better freedom of speech.

It’s far-right politicians trying their best to « win » from this story and increase racism in France, because it’s from where they get their voters

[–] n22rwrdr@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

He's not supposed to be far right tho, he's from Macron's party which is center or center-right

[–] TBP42069@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Macron himself is a racist authoritarian scumbag with a pedophile wife

Far-right people don't really need to try very hard to attract voters. Other side is doing their job for them.

This particular case is clown show however, and it looks like the guy has personal vendetta against the dude.

[–] TimTkt@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah it’s really seeing how a lot of politicians are targeting him when other (ex) footballers (like Cantona) also tweeted support for civils in Palestine and no one said anything.

It also helps to understand why Benzema was black listed a long time in NT

[–] telcomet@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Most pathetic attempt to save face, Benzema doesn’t do this and watch Darmanin retract anyway because he’s knows in a libel case he’s fucked

[–] torts92@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Sue this fucking racist trash

[–] lankynomad@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Seriously why are muslims being openly targeted in the west? It’s like muslims are the new jews. Had there even been a time where Europe didn’t have a favorite pass time-punching bag group of people?

[–] fellainishaircut@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

well deadly Islamic terrorism in Europe hasn‘t really helped to ease relationships, I think that should be obvious.

[–] BigManMane@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

And this is the Muslims fault how?

If he was a member of brotherhood or closely related to it Saudi Govt would not allowed any Saudi club to sign him

Who is Dominique Bernard?

[–] caciopeppe@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Gerald Darmanin Is a Zionist's puppet, i Will withdraw my accusation when he Will prove that he Is not a Reddit mod/admin.

[–] Sheikhspeare24@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The clowns in the french government are hilarious. They want an Algerian to show support for a settler colonialist apartheid state, the exact same thing that happened in French Algeria.

Dégage le violeur

[–] Excellent_Stage2448@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Maybe benzema is deeply sad for the teacher's death and he dont to talk about bcz guess what ITS HIS FUCKING LIFE he can talk about what he want.

We cant force someone to talk about something and if he dont we accuse him of being affiliaited to a group of shit.

[–] MissBirb@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I am not understanding why benzema is being accused of like.. being apart of the MB? he's not even religious lol like didnt he have a few sex scandals and the valbuena shit and what not? i tried finding some info and it seems to be really vague connected to a fucking tweet about gaza? anyone who can give me a better idea?

[–] Zuco-Zuco@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It is about his tweet in regards to Gaza. The moment he tweeted that, he randomly got accused of having ties to the MB. Mind you the MB isn't even considered a terrorist organization by Europe. Only by the Saudi's, UAE etc. You know the same place that is currently employing him.

He has zero evidence of his claims as can be seen by his current tweet. Which he will probably retract soon enough as Benzema has said he is going to pursue legal actions against him.

But the media in France has a hateboner against Benzema, that's nothing new. Granted Benzema has had plenty of controversies, but still the way they treat him. Like this guy is the Minister of Interieur and he is spending his time making random accusations against Benzema.

[–] EnvironmentalSpirit2@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

French politians are strange strange people

[–] Romanista3@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This is blackmailing by defamation.

[–] slimaneslilane02@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Oh, typical Darmanin stuff. He promised to help a woman on her social housing case in exchange of a bl*wjob, for example.

[–] Imyourlandlord@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

5th grade recess politicians....

This dude is accused of rape btw, failed his way to being an interior minister

[–] Charlotte-De-litt@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Ignoring the racism and Islamophobia, how is this not considered extremely unprofessional to the extent that its a fireable offense?

[–] Grizzledboy@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

How's that gonna help the situation around the killings of teachers by radicalized islamists in France?

[–] Africanvar@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Omg im loosing faith in humanity . Thousands got killed and this motherfucker bans protests now he says this
