Wealth tax. The proposed Zucman tax would only affect the 1800 French households with €100m - at a 2% rate. Why would anyone with less than (say) €70m not support this?

What is the justification for arrest? Apparently it was for suspected malicious communication, I didn’t see any evidence to support this offence.

I'll leave this here. As a reminder of how we failed as a humanity. Of how international laws don't apply to everyone equally. How this was us yesterday, them today but could be YOU tomorrow. Shame on us. All. Stop genocide in Palestine TODAY! No more excuses. Enough is enough!
