  4. Setting aside what France was aware of or not, since when is it acceptable to kill civilians “suspected” of a criminal act without them having the ability to defend themselves.

    I don’t think anybody would appreciate their government making this type of decision without having the opportunity to state their case.

    What type of evidence did they have on these civilians? The US recently had to admit the terrorist they killed in the closing days of leaving Afghanistan was actually an innocent civilian.

    Don’t be so quick to judge off of a story that is very limited on details about the suspected crimes.

  5. Wait, so no one cares whether or not the Egyptians are guilty? The investigation is only into the French intelligence who doesn’t control Egyptian soldiers? Do I have that right?

  6. Even if this was true you’d never see a single trace of public outrage lmao, furthermore how exactly is the provider of a single light surveillance unmanned aircraft supposed to know if the guy currently smuggling bananas didn’t smuggle explosives the year before? We are doing a job FOR the Egyptian security forces we are not doing the job OF Egyptians security forces… And when we’re asked to, like with Mali suddenly we are the evil colonizers of Africa. Basically any cooperation with anyone south of the mediteranean makes us war criminals one way or the other, thats convenient…

  7. France is ordering murders of civilians overseas and purposefully lets illegal migrants use their land to come to another country, but no no it’s definitely not the same as Russia or Belarus because ✨democracy✨

  10. I love the title, no outrage in France, no one care in France apart some journalist.

    Some criminals are killed … oh no…
