#I don't know the name of the congresswoman beside Guiraud but respect to her Habib was yelling and in their faces

A Palestinian flag was brandished yesterday in the National Assembly in France by a left-wing congressman. He has been banned from the assembly for 2 weeks, which is more than what another congressman got when he did a Nazi salute.

Something a bit funny happened after.

Some context: we have this congressman who is Israeli (and French, because you have to be French to be elected) and pro-genocide. Like, he has yelled, with joy, in the assembly, after another congressman's speech about how many Palestinians had been killed (so, a speech calling the French gov to act to stop Israel): "And there will be more!". Meyer Habib has publicly call multiple times for the death of the Palestinians, and he also vocalized religious' reasons for politic actions, which is inexcusable. He should have been kicked out an eternity ago, and, imo, should be in jail (yes, what he did is illegal in France and can lead to jail time)

Anyway, another congressman, left-wing, David Guiraud, was interviewed live when the congressmen left the assembly, because of the flag (he is from the same political party as the brave politician on the picture). Habib came behind him, yelling to the journalists, "Why are you talking to them?"

Guiraud: What are you doing here? Go away.

Habib: Who are you talking to?

Guiraud: To you.

Habib: We didn't raise pigs together*, show some respect to-

Guiraud: It's you, the pig. You're bathing in the mud of genocide.

The congresswoman beside Guiraud joined him against Habib, saying he is guilty of "apology of a genocide", and told him "If there's a justice in this country, you will be brought to justice, Monsieur."

* "On n'a pas élevé les cochons ensemble" = literally, "we didn't raise pigs together. A French expression meaning that you aren't close enough to an individual for them to behave a certain way with you. Here, Guiraud wasn't using the correct pronouns while addressing Habib (you are supposed to use "vous" and not "tu" while addressing people you aren't close with, it's for politeness. People will drop the "vous" for "tu" if they don't respect the person they are talking to.) and his tone was also blasé, annoyed. Also, for our trans folks out there, yes people will complain you aren't using the right pronouns with them and you are too familiar, BUT will refuse to use trans folks pronouns, especially because every non-gendered pronoun is a neo-pronoun.

Later, Guiraud was invited on tv. He was asked if he regrets his words and would say the same thing again now. His answer: "No. Sometimes, words go further than our thoughts. I want to apologize to every pig in France, I never saw one of them defend a genocide."

Habib has since said it was antisemitic to call him a pig (I don't think it is an antisemitic insult, but even if it was, the context clearly demonstrates that Guiraud used Habib's words against him, he didn't choose "pig"), and that Guiraud attacked him (Habib touched Guiraud first, so no) and is a congressman working for Hamas. Yes, he said that. Now, we are all looking at Guiraud, waiting who him to sue his ass, because that's diffamation. (We already have a minister who is facing a diffamation charge for saying a football/soccer player is working for Hamas because he didn't tweet about October 7th. I wish I was joking, but it happened)
