Riots or colour revolutions in Israel and France?

Here at Vlad, we haven’t paid much attention to the rioting in Israel or France. Without giving it much effort or thought, it looked like a colour revolution in Israel for sure, meaning a leftist led attempt to overthrow a nationalist state and preserve/create a more Marxist organizational system. In France, it looked like something STRATFOR used to talk about when it was able to post what it really believed before Obama apparently redirected their content. And that is how Leftists would hijack a protest which was actually not really a leftist issue, and make it appear to be one.

In the most kinetic of videos that we have seen posted to the comments at Vlad, (Thank you very much all who found and posted them) it looks an awful lot like ANTIFA, both in the fashion sense they show, and the slogans they paint on walls. Things like ACAB and other English acronyms or initialisms we see in the videos. It doesn’t seem entirely reasonable that in a country more famous for rioting than for cheese, it would take a two year increase from 62 to 64 in the retirement age to cause this. Especially when the solution seems like it would be easy. Grandfather in all workers to the current age of retirement since that was the contract, and new hires work to the new retirement age.

Granted there is another layer here. Macron’s government attempted to pass this change by ignoring all parliamentary and legislative procedure and enacting it by decree. The French are famously annoyed by that kind of behaviour as should all Democratic peoples. Canadians on the other hand won’t even write a letter to the government or the newspaper unless their cable company tries to sneak up the bill by adding useless channels you have to opt out of. To be blunt, that is the only time we have ever seen Bob Canadian get off his arse and object in any real numbers and to any real effect.

Granted in France, communists are attempting to hijack these massive protests. But they are reaching an Egyptian level of participation and we may see something like a collapse of government. To what, i shudder to think. Things rarely go towards liberty and the individual anywhere anymore.

France?? Still going strong???

Do they use voting machines in France?

More Twitter videos of the protests can be seen here, here and here as well as in the Reader’s Links post comments over the last several weeks.

The real reason for this post is to introduce this Caroline Glick video. As a former editor of the Jerusalem Post and political pundit, she is in a much better position to look at both these countries and what is taking place and offer some reason. Our own degree of uncertainty about French and Israeli riots coupled with not paying much attention to them so far, means we welcome all comments from anyone who has an informed perspective on them in the comments. Let’s see what Caroline Glick has to say:
