According to Algemeiner, a New York-based newspaper, the poll held by IFOP media company which is France’s leading pollster shows that 45 percent of Muslim respondents of the survey classed Hamas’s attacks as “resistance against colonization.”
The newspaper that focuses on the news related to Judaism and the Zionist regime of Israel, wrote, “A further 62 percent of Muslim respondents said that Israel’s military response in Gaza amounted to ‘ethnic cleansing,’ compared with 38 percent of respondents in the general population.”
“Asked about the French government’s position, a clear majority of Muslims – 58 percent – believed that President Emmanuel Macron’s administration was sympathetic to Israel, compared with 20 percent in the population at large.”
It also said that similar discrepancies were also seen in the question about media coverage. 67 percent of Muslims said that the French media was more sympathetic towards Israel, compared with 38 percent of the general population.
It is estimated that about six million Muslims live in France, but due to the implementation of anti-Islamic laws, the exact figure has not been accurately assessed.
