French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin has accused Karim Benzema of being linked to the Muslim Brotherhood, a transactional Islamic organization considered terrorist in France.
"Mr. Karim Benzema has notorious links with the Muslim Brotherhood," the interior minister assured CNews.
These declarations come after the support shown by the former Real Madrid footballer to the inhabitants of Gaza.
"All our prayers for the inhabitants of Gaza who are once again victims of these unjust bombings that spare neither women nor children," the 35-year-old striker wrote on X (ex Twitter).
They did a similar thing when the American-Palestinian (Christian) journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was killed by Israeli soldiers when reporting from Jenin last year despite clearly marked as PRESS. At first they claimed that Palestinian fire that killed her, before finally conceding her death was due to Israeli fire. But they didn’t and never intended to hold their soldiers to account.Israel's style of public relations
A quick guide to Israel's PR methods:
- We haven't heard reports of deaths, will check into it;
- The people were killed, but by a faulty Palestinian rocket/bomb;
- OK we killed them, but they were terrorists;
- OK they were civilians, but they were being used as human shields;
- OK there were no fighters in the area, so it was our mistake. But we kill civilians by accident, they do it on purpose;
- OK we kill far more civilians than they do, but look at how terrible other countries are!
- Why are you still talking about
- Israel? Are you some kind of anti-semite?
