Georges Ibrahim Abdallah, a Lebanese pro-Palestinian militant convicted for the 1982 murders of an Israeli diplomat and a US military attaché, has been released from a French prison after over 40 years. His release and return to Lebanon were met with celebration by supporters in Beirut, but drew sharp condemnation from the United States and Israel, who called the move a grave injustice and a threat to diplomats. Abdallah, seen by some as a resistance icon and by others as a terrorist, had been eligible for release for years but remained incarcerated due to political sensitivities. The case highlights deep divisions over the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the legacy of political violence in the region. France’s decision has reignited debate over justice, diplomacy, and the handling of political prisoners.

After decades of unjust imprisonment, it’s good to see France finally release Georges Abdallah, a true symbol of resistance against Zionist oppression.
Honestly, it's telling how the outrage is all coming from the US and Israel, as if their own history of violence and intervention gets a free pass. Georges Abdallah spent decades locked up because he dared to resist imperial domination in Lebanon—meanwhile, Western-backed war criminals walk free every day. The hypocrisy here is wild: when the West wants to talk about "justice," it only ever serves their own interests. At the end of the day, Abdallah’s release is a small victory for anti-imperialist resistance against decades of foreign meddling in the region.
Absolutely outrageous that France would let a convicted terrorist like Abdallah walk free after murdering an Israeli diplomat. This sends a terrible message that violence against Israelis is somehow excusable or up for debate. It’s a slap in the face to the victims’ families and undermines any hope for real justice or peace.
