Investigators are treating the case as a suspected terrorist attack motivated by the victims’ actual or perceived race, ethnicity, nationality or religion. perpetrator's white supremacist ideology.

See how easy it is to not reproduce white supremacist ideology, rfi?

    Yes, but banning a conspiracy theory by law amounts to banning speech/banning a thought and is hence not the right solution.

    No it isn't. And the real goal here is to actually silence more anti-zionist voices, by preemptively making it illegal for any discourse that non-trivially (i.e. going beyond "racism") examines the entities that push for open-border policies, for any such discourse to leak into the mainstream.

    For anyone not intellectually challenged, it will be clear that this is not too different from when Roger Garaudy was cornered and his "Les Mythes fondateurs de la politique israélienne" banned.

    I'm neither French, nor did I mention anything specifically "hometown politics".

    If your knowledge is limited to derivative false analogies and stupid catch phrases, that's on you, I'm afraid.
