Its funny how they cry for freedom for speech and get immediately triggered if someone shows slight disagreement to their own beliefs. Hypocrites.
the world has officially gone mad
Deport Jihadi beenzeema. Refuge jihadi in France
I thought Europe had freedom of speech? I mean they are constantly ridiculing and claiming china and other countrys like china should be belittiled for these exact reason’s and yet here we are with hypocrisy broadcasted for the world too see. 😂
Is he a mu$
Lim
MC?
Thank you Benzema for standing to the truth 🇵🇸 Palestine will be free
This is way out of line. Am not here to say I support any country but he has freedom of speech and he’s exercising one by saying he’s mind and they are now trying to call off he’s citizenship that’s very wrong and band of France. Everyone is free to say what they like because is the right of everyone, because as long as you’re a citizen of a country you’re entitled to all the rights exempting none.
Benzema has every right to support Palestine
Allowing Charlie Hebdo to draw offensive caricatures of Prophet Muhammad pbuh is called free speech. Saying prayers for the innocent victims of Gaza, women & children are considered dishonor & betrayal, except when it applies to the chosen people of God.
I hope Benzema sues the French minister in court for defamation
La France une province sionistes
Западная свобода слова, Германия так же слелало Месут Озилом это не единичной случай это госполитика Европы
Honourable men ,outside and inside the pitch. Respect for Benzema
God will punish the followers of Satan.
It’s incredible how a geographically small country like Israel could gain such dominant control over numerous powerful nations incl. France to lick their butts for them, I’m not even mad that’s amazing
The time these guys invaded the Israelites why benzema didn’t stand with Israel cause their were also children and mother who were kidnapped and the taken away….. first condemn and tell those guys so called Hamas to release the children and mothers to their people first then we shall start talking other things 😮😮
Even if they take his nationality benzema won’t have a problem, cause there are alot of countries offering him the nationality including saudi.
He’s not supporting Hamas, he’s supporting Palestine’s more vulnerable who are also effected by this war. It’s not just Israel being targeted, even Palestine is a victim as well, their civilians don’t want this war and all they ever want is freedom from Israel’s grasps on them. What will it take for Israel to allow Palestine to have their freedom ?
The racism by the french government is appalling, would be glad to see Benzema take legal action against such people
Benzema is RIGHT no matter what !! The French HYPOCRITES can’t see Israel 🇮🇱 atrocities in GAZA
If France do that then benzema will be more powerful then France
an occupier will always support other occupiers
Love kaee
speak truth to power! we are with the innocent people of GAza
Proof we have never been free
In This times we’re living truths are lies and lies are Truths. Endtime
Viva Benzema
Td musulmanus pa I sai na seleson di fransa
Freedom of speech they say 😂
You can’t do anything in this world right know. You must have the same opinion like your government….. wtf
The person trying to make benzema life complicated should be banned from his country.
I think any football can state their solitary with Isreali or Palestinian as long as they dont support war crimes commited by Isreal government and murderous inhuman barbaric terrorist act by Hamas
Benzema you can do everything right for that country, but at the end, they will never see you as one of their own as soon as you have an opinion.. sad
This crisis shows us who really run western countries.
😂😂. What do you expect, is he not same race as them? Arabs
How low can these people go
Dont forget he is Africa by blood and arab by heritage so he always welcome back home.
you have my respect, Karim Benzema
They will never accept you even if you played football for the country and won world cups, the west is showing there true colours
Good .
I guess there’s no freedom of speech in France.
He’s only saying something cause of who’s paying him lol
vivavkarim
Did he also blackmail france like he did hes team mates?
He help for the name of humanity, why French Senator is over react?
Who said there is no life except in France, leave it
Dual citizenship to be banned everywhere. You can’t below to dual places
go on, import more rubbish
look at paris
france is a goner
Good for him! Don’t let them tell you how to think, Champ!
Mad bro 😂 How is this a democracy?

Western culture and Islamic culture cannot co exist. Why allow Islamist migrants into the west. Eventually the two will clash.
None sense talk by his ministry not only Benzema but even his mom was born in Lyon and he is not naturalized citizen of France…So Revoking and those kinds of trash talks good only for the consumption of social media….And let us do not expect any good things from France and it’s evil officials specially when it comes to Islam..
“I am a German when we win and I am an immigrant when we loose” Ozil
Free Palestine
France is well-known for racism, zionism and Islamophobia!!!!
F this nation and citizenshiT
Karim Benzema 🫡 Supporting innocent lives and the true reality of whats really happening in Gaza
How is he betraying France to lose Citizenship? Someone help me understand. I’ve heard French people say bad things about their own country so why is he getting the boot again. Oh yeah I forgot he’s the unmentionsble.
The appeal was made by ‘a politician serving in France’s senate’. Hopefully the French will fire this politician from the senate for intolerance, and being credulous. These are the garbage of ministers and politicians we get this generation.
Remember, there are ‘misinformation guidelines’ also set out by fake news outlets. We’ve already seen this play out during the COVID pandemic. Many news outlets have been exposed to be US-centric. Unfortunately, sheeps will believe what they think is the ‘good side’ 🤷. DYOR and not just read/listen to the news.
“Apartheid is a crime against humanity. Israel has deprived millions of Palestinians of their liberty and property. It has perpetuated a system of gross racial discrimination and inequality.”
Nelson Mandela
Hahahhahah, imagine the french football team, without their moslem immigrants! They won’t have a chance of winning the world cup without Zidane, Djorkaeff. Or many other immigrants Thuram, Desailly, Henry, Benzema.
The stark reality is that neither Palestine nor Israel is in the right; both are equally in the wrong. It is unwise to support either of these nations. Palestine acknowledges that Israel is one of the most formidable military powers, and any aggression from groups like Hezbollah, Palestine, or iran on Israel would be met with significant resistance. Rather than provoking war, Palestine should have pursued peaceful, non-violent protests, similar to Mahatma Gandhi’s approach in India, which successfully led to the downfall of the British Empire on August 14, 1947.
Freedom of speech as long as you agree with the status quo 😂😂😂 🇫🇷 hypocrisy and western hypocrisy
Typical nonsense in the world. Love confusion instead of focusing on their own. They will never learn.
White people of thinking
The so called “freedom loving West” doesn’t love freedom and liberty so much after all, certainly when it doesn’t suit their interests.
That’s a baguettesque move 🥖
Nationalism is a bullshit ideology that only causes oppression and injustice.
French people never liked him to begin with
It’s time for the world to open its eyes. Jews are hypocrites. They force the whole world to mourn the fate of their brethren killed during World War II. And here in modern times they do the same thing. Discrimination, segregation and murder of innocents. This takes place in areas that once belonged to Palestine. I say belonging because even though the piece they left them supposedly belongs to Palestine, the Jews have full control over it. Jews have been taking land from Palestinians piece by piece for decades with the approval of the entire Western world.
Useless Senate, it’s good to show solaridarity to Israel but, you become a traitor when you back Palestine. Confused generation 🤔
Karim Ben Hamas.
France is officially a fascist state
I respect for Karim Benzema
Allah Akbar
Benzema Allah sta kubo
“We are better than Arabs because we have freedom of speech.”
If not driven by hate,wats wrong with his statement
That minister is a rapist i wouldn’t expect any less from the likes of him.
France has never been a friend of Muslim. They are an anti islamic nation. This country also did not allow Benzama to play the last fifa wc just because he is a muslim. The oppressor colonist in Africa. France is still taking illegal revenues from some of the African countries.
The west is becoming so fascist
Lmaooo. French continue to prove they are most retarded nation in the world
No to islam in the west!!!
But you’re happy for french dual nationals to and fight in the IDF against innocent civilians?
Where was your bravery in WW2? You got invaded, occupied and you resisted and were eventually liberated, not on your own but by the millions of non-europeans dragged into the conflict. yet you still can’t feel empathy for the same invaded, occupied and resisting people of Palestine.
You have a very warped idea of freedom- it means you taking and everyone else giving.
Your only contribution to the world is ‘french fries’ and even they are Belgian!
Bunch of pro-Palestine cry babies in the comments😂
Since when france occupy palestine?😂😂😂.
He’s Cute ❤
Brother Benzema if I were you I would Wallahi burn my French passport and post it.
Habibi you don’t need to be a part of a racist country. Alhamdullilah there’s so many Countries that would gratefully give you citizenship.
“Give up something for Allah (swt) and Allah (swt) will replace it with something better. Alhamdullilah you have a big following and the positive influence you can have for the Ummah would be phenomenal SubhanAllah.
Free Palestine 🇵🇸 Insha’Allah ❤
