Rima Hassan, a French far-left member of the European Parliament, was arrested on Thursday over a comment she posted on X last month about an attack on an Israeli airport in the 1970s, her fellow party member Jean-Luc Melenchon said.
The message was related to the 1972 attack by the Japanese Red Army far-left militant group at Lod airport in Tel Aviv, which resulted in 26 deaths.
It seems the media may not know what her exact comment was yet.
What was the actual comment she made?

jfc I’m getting so tired of news not including the critical information
She justified the terrorist attack in 1972 at an Israeli airport
From what I understand she retweeted this but I haven’t seen it confirmed by mainstream media yet
