The French parliament erupted in tumult on Tuesday as a hard-left lawmaker stood up with a Palestinian flag, a week after another deputy was temporarily suspended for doing so. Rachel Keke, a member of parliament for the France Unbowed (LFI) party from the Paris region, brandished the flag at the start of a session of questions to government in the lower house. She stood up amid a flood of Green, Communist and LFI lawmakers who had dressed in green, white, red and black for the occasion and arranged their seating so that from afar they looked like the Palestinian flag.

Keep foreign influence out of parliament.
America Europe must be freed of vile zionist influence
The palestines were dancing in the streets on 9/11. Don't you rememember ?
Well done, La France Insoumise… liberte and justice pour Palestine. Now follow Ireland, Spain, Norway and Slovenia ☘🍉

Still a little Humanity left in the French government.
Viva la France
As an American, I say to France, viva la Palestine.
Good for them. France and UK should recognise a Palestinian state.
There is some humanity left in France
Thank you France.
so waving a Ukraine flag is ok ?
life was hard for Rachel Keke but better than those who lost their lives in October 1961 on the streets of Paris.
Great! C'est magnifique!
Thank you to the politicians
Free speech? Je suis Charlie?
What a relief to see that not all of them have been bought!!! God bless the remaining decent representatives of the people who have not sold their souls to lobbyists!
