Why is the French left so willing to excuse Hamas apologists?

In contrast, the standing of Marine Le Pen’s National Rally (NR) continues to rise. A poll in the left-wing Le Monde reported that ‘support for the NR’s ideas is growing, and that the party is gaining credibility, particularly when compared to the left-wing opposition’. 

Le Monde said that the survey’s respondents agreed with Le Pen ‘on the subjects of security, immigration and Islam’. But there is a fourth reason why her party has become credible and that is because of the incredible response of the left to what Holocaust foundations liken to crimes committed by Nazis. 

Many politicians, academics, journalists and celebrities appear to have either excused, trivialised or ignored the brutal killing of more than 1,000 Jews, while at the same time accusing Israel of crimes of against humanity in their response to the Hamas attack.
