French journalist and renowned Middle East expert Marine Vlahovic was found dead at her home in Marseille on Monday, November 27.

According to reports by La Provence, her body was discovered on the roof terrace of her residence by friends who had grown concerned after she failed to respond to calls or messages. She was 39 years old.

According to ARTE Radio, Marine Vlahovic had dedicated part of her short life to the Palestinian cause.

Also of stealing everything thats not nailed down. Their nuclear arsenal was built from Uranium stolen from US labs, and no one in the US government cares at all. They also spy on the US as strenuously as our actual enemies. Weird.

You realize the US spies even more than they do on their allies, right? The US can't say anything against Israel for that.

It's a meme deployed whenever a westerner describes something their government does as bad by way of comparing it to 'those evil asiatics' as if it's natural to them but not to us

It's extremely racist in a way that most people don't even think about, so the meme is to needle them into understanding

Well that could mean anything between "she died of not immediately obvious medical reason, so cause of death inguiry is needed" to "she was murdered, we are investigating". Heck to investigate "there is no external markers, but we don't know is it medical stroke or a poisoning murder".

So I would say, wait until they investigated and tell, if they suspect foul play before jumping to conclusions. Not that Israel isn't capable and on choosing so willing, but sometimes people just suddenly die of medical causes without prior warning.

It's not as if Israel or its leaders have to fear suffering any kind of consequences from France on this, whose posture has been nothing more than mild talkie-talkie and who even refuse to abide by an Arrest Warrant from the ICC on Netanyahu (a very obvious wink-and-nod from Macron to the New Nazis in Israel).

With mainly Collaborator politicians in the various governments in Europe (notable exceptions being those in Spain and the Republic Of Ireland), it's open season for Mossad to murder Europeans in Europe at will.

That's an absolutelly natural consequence from in practice condoning and even protecting Nazis going full-on Genocidal and they lose all fear of consequences.

I use "New" or even "Neue" to distinguish the Nazis that claim to represent Jews and are genocidal towards Arabs, from the Nazis who claimed to represent Arians and were genocidal towards Jews (and Roma, though "curiously" here in the West almost nobody mentions those).

Because the etnicity targetted by one group of Nazis is the "dominant" etnicity of the other, if I don't do this some people confuse my anti-Zionist point with being pro-Zionist, especially given that the Zionists themselves will use Nazi as a form of slander against people who criticize them.

Why not, it's not like the French government will do anything about it. Killing her sends the message to other Western journalists that they're not safe if they badmouth the genocide. If this shuts some of them up, it's a win for Israel.

What's weird is that I can't find even one article about her death in the more mainstream French newspapers such as Le Monde or Le Figaro or Libération. There's something in Ouest France. Did anyone find more?

They're currently not treating her death as suspicious. I know it doesn't mean that it isn't but I think it's worth mentioning.

You don't give people who have been murdering journalists, aid workers, and medical personal the benefit of the doubt. you assume and absolve them later if facts don't substantiate it. this isnt a trial there isn't an individual being accused. its a state with a history of murdering people like this reporter. you stop associating with them. which is precisely what biden should have done a year ago.
