Marine Le Pen wants to abolish dual nationality so citizens can be French only. That would affect retired French Jews living In Israel who would not be able to claim their pensions.

The far-right want to discriminate against Jewish people, you say?? Who could have guessed, except for everyone?

The far-right are scum and the world would be better off without them

After reading the article the headline seems senseless to me. I mean, putting your own countrymen before migrants and being critical of Islam and singing the national anthem are not far right behaviors in my opinion. These things just make sense. 

They don't, actually. Good work ignoring the violence of the far-right, though! I think you spent too long describing your opinion, though. I'm sure you can sum it up in 14 words.

Split the extreme right vote Mr Trumpy-lite...

A fine job. Keep the nuts from power.

Hate speech convictions can be seen as badges of honour

I can understand the discussion on whether or not hate speech could be illegal.

But to respect the people who have done something that would even put them in the position of being charged, much less convicted of it?

"I respect anything you say and I'll defend your right to say it".

Anybody deviating from the corporate media narrative is branded as "far right". This is riduculous. When everything is "far right", nothing is.

Everyhing isn't far right. It's just that when you look at the people on the right, over the past few years a much larger portion has moved further right, increasing the number of far-rightists.

Most of the world is still left. But there are definitely a lot more far-right extremists these days.

It’s hard to understand why or how a Jewish guy like Zemmour (albeit he’s a Jewish guy who thinks the WW2 Vichy government wasn’t a bad thing) could want to represent the same extreme right-wing forces that historically have caused so much misery for his people.

That is only hard to understand if you uncritically believe the media mislabel of "far right".

Being for the nation station and its secular constitution is only "far right" in the minds of polemicists who never deviate from a narrative.

Stranger; yes, because they highlight the idiocy of such laws. It is nothing to do with the particulars of what he said.

Hate speech convictions can be seen as badges of honour, especially in repressive places like the EU. He wants France to stay French, nothing wrong with that.
