French MPs are preparing to vote on a law that treats criticism of Israel as antisemitic and widely expands the scope of terrorism legislation. 
Lawmakers will debate the bill informally dubbed Yadan’s Law
– in reference to the MP who proposed the bill, Caroline Yadan
– on 18 April. 

Under current law, “direct” incitement to terrorism is punishable by five years in prison and a €75,000 fine.
The bill would expand that to “implicit” incitement or glorification of terrorist acts.
“People are going to be very afraid to talk about Palestinian rights and Israeli crimes if this law is adopted,”
Cecile Marquerie, advocacy coordinator for an alliance of pro-Palestinian NGOs in France, told Radio France Internationale.

Former anti-terrorism judge Marc Trevidic told Middle East Eye:
“I’d never seen anything like it, the notion of implicit incitement to terrorism.
Do you realise what that means? Becoming a censor of other people’s thoughts, trying to guess what a person really meant.”
