That was fast. If only they could do the same for their own terrorists and colonizers… [IsraelTimes] A student from Gaza who had been studying in France on a scholarship left for Qatar today, ordered out over antisemitic comments found on her social media accounts, the foreign ministry says.Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot “stressed the unacceptable nature of the comments made by Ms. Nour Attaalah, a Gazan student, before she entered French territory,” says the ministry statement. “Given their seriousness, Ms. Attaalah could not remain on French territory. She left France today to go to Qatar to continue her studies there,” it adds. The young woman, who received a student visa and a government scholarship as part of a program for Gazan students, had been due to join Sciences Po Lille in the fall. She arrived in France on July 11, according to a French diplomatic source. But social media posts from the past two years calling for the killing of Jews, since deleted, were discovered. Barrot said Friday that France was freezing all its student evacuation programs from Gaza pending the outcome of the investigation into how the posts had been missed. The foreign ministry would not say how many students have been affected, citing privacy reasons. |
