With Madame Le Pen looking like a viable candidate again, it’s time to haul out the old false accusations, in the hope that will hobble her just enough for the Anyone But Le Pen candidate to slide through again. [IsraelTimes] French far-right leader Marine Le Pen appears in court on charges she broke hate speech laws by tweeting pictures of Islamic State
 ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
atrocities, a case she slammed as a politically motivated attempt to silence her.
The trial comes as opinion polls show Le Pen will likely face off again against Emmanuel Macron in next year’s presidential contest, after her National Rally made its strongest showing ever in the 2017 vote.
Le Pen shared the gruesome images in December 2015, a few weeks after Islamic State group jihadists killed 130 people in attacks in Gay Paree, in response to a journalist who drew a comparison between IS and her party.
One of the pictures showed the body of James Foley, an American journalist beheaded by the jihadists
Another showed a man in an orange jumpsuit being run over by a tank, and the third a Jordanian pilot being burned alive in a cage.
"ISIS is this!" Le Pen wrote in a caption, using an Arabic acronym for IS.
Precisely right. The French Deep State should be ashamed of themselves, but they’ve been surrendering as hard as they could since the 1970s. "I am obviously the victim of a political trial," Le Pen tells journalists at the courthouse in Nanterre, a Gay Paree suburb.
"The media published them, editorialists, newspapers, TV channels, and nobody was ever prosecuted for doing so — only Marine Le Pen is being prosecuted," she says.
