Just another day in 1939

Violence rocks Paris before Israel game | WATCH

Violence seems to be the name of the game these days: Not even a week after the Amsterdam pogrom, anti-Israel protesters are wreaking havoc in Paris, and have even smashed up a McDonald's. Viva France?

Tensions are rising in Paris tonight as protesters clash with police over a controversial pro-Israel fundraiser, just hours before tomorrow's highly anticipated soccer match between France and Israel.

The trouble started when hundreds took to the streets to protest "Israel is Forever," a fundraising event organized by far-right supporters. Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich was meant to attend but cancelled after growing criticism.

"This is a gala of hatred and shame," protesters chanted in central Paris. While most demonstrations remained peaceful, some windows were broken at a McDonald's, and a separate group, including left-wing Jewish organizations, gathered near the Arc de Triomphe to voice their opposition.

Paris authorities aren't taking any chances with tomorrow's match, deploying 4,000 police officers and 1,600 stadium staff. "If someone tried to host a Hamas gala, it'd be shut down immediately," said protester Melkir Saib, 30, highlighting the heated atmosphere.

The unrest comes after recent soccer-related tensions across Europe, including incidents in Amsterdam last week involving Israeli soccer fans. Paris police chief Laurent Nunez maintains the situation is under control, but all eyes are on tomorrow's match.
