It’s just “honorary citizenship,” but what if the “Palestinians” start to take him seriously? Will jihadis from Gaza and Judea and Samaria show up in Paris? This is some admirable virtue-signaling, but Emmanuel Gregoire may find that this initiative blows up in his face. It could even do so literally.
“Paris mayor grants city honor to civilians of Gaza, West Bank,” by Mathilda Heller, Jerusalem Post, June 21, 2026:
The mayor of Paris, Emmanuel Gregoire, has granted honorary citizenship of the city to the civilians of Gaza and the West Bank, as well as to Palestinian journalists.
Gregoire stated his intention to do so in May, and the move was confirmed on Thursday following the Paris Council meeting. The proposal received overarching support from the left-wing bloc and significant opposition from the Right. Nevertheless, it won by an overall majority of 107-41 with 3 abstentions.
To mark the granting of citizenship, Gregoire hosted the Ambassador of Palestine and the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Jordan for a ceremony.
“The honorary citizenship of Paris is not a symbol; it is a commitment,” he said following the ceremony. “To the civilians of Gaza and the West Bank, to the families, to the children, to the doctors who treat the wounds of war, to the teachers who hold classes amid the rubble, to the journalists who seek to report on this deadly conflict: Paris tells you that you are honorary citizens of our city.”…
France recognized a Palestinian state in 2025, along with other European countries…

and to all those gazans who joined in the slaughter on Oct 7th 2023, who not merely stole whatever was left after the worst of the Jihadists slaughtered raped, burned alive, murdered those hiding under beds, grandparents, children, yes to all those says the Mayor, go to hell, we don’t care about any of you…… and also those hostages who were abused, raped, beaten and murdered.
We don’t care about any of you. Oh and you Israeli’s who’ve been descended from those there for 3300 yrs and represent the only indiginous population there with a governance, culture, history, we don’t care about you…. only those colonizers who left arabia, and invaded wherever they went, including the land that was stolen from the Jews and renamed Palestine, without ever forming an independent palestinian government there.

Americans need to spend their trust dollars in America. Preferably in red states. But under any circumstances not in Islamo-pandering France. I’ve personally made over 50 trips to Europe since the 1980s. I won’t spend another dime there not ever. I’ve been traveling to New York City quarterly for about the same amount of time. I’m not spending a dime there either until they have a different mayor. Meetings that used to require a presence in person are done just fine using Zoom or Google meet. We have to hit these assholes where they feel it. That my friends is in their wallets. Much as I’d like to give them a Swift one. Below the belt. So much of all the bad shit we see in America and we see in the world goes right back and lands in the lap of that scumbag BHO. I’m gonna also be very sure to skip his so-called presidential library.

The descent of the West continues because of useful idiots like this Bozo mayor of the chief city of a country which has been so stupid of a country that it actually invited in by the millions people who adhere to an ideology that requires them to destroy that country. Charles Martel would be appalled.

Until he and his family get raped, terrorized, and murdered by Islam’s Muslims, this virtue-signaling imbecile will feel good about his actions. Islam’s Muslims are murderous, Totalitarian Terrorists of Allah operating as a Criminal-Terrorist-Gang Enterprise under Islamic Law to ultimately conquer the Non-Muslims with Islamic Law DBA Islam(Qur’an 8:60; 9:5, 29, 111; 49:15, etc.).
Allah in Qur’an 8:39 says, “And engage in war with them[Non-Muslims] until there will not be sedition and the religion will be completely to Allah…”

If Jordan Bordella wins the national elections, can he override this Paris mayor’s decision?
JeffS says
I imagine that Israelis wouldn’t mind if the entire Gazan population moved to Paris.
Tim gallagher says
Palestinians are the big time trendy cause these days for the brainless lefties. To my mind they deserve no support at all. No Muslims do. They are evil scum of the earth who want murder, rape and torture all Jews and all other infidels. The Israelis are the only decent, civilised human beings in the middle east. Go Israel, may you prosper always against the evil scum that surround you.
