If it were truly about “unrest”, they’d ban demonstrations in support of Israel also. This is just the government telling people what opinions they’re allowed to express.

Support of Israel is understandable in this context considering the innocent people that were killed.
Innocent people are actively being killed in Gaza as we speak.
What I’m sure of though is that far-right/nazi movements will attack Palestine supporters, probably under cover. We call it “casseurs”, people who are here to break things appart to undermine the event’s credibility. Palestine support is almost left-party only in France.
A leftwing event being attacked shouldn’t undermine the legitimacy of the left. A false flag attack on a pro-Israel demonstration might though.

Innocent people are innocent people. You cannot cherry pick who deserves human rights and who doesn’t.
Yes, and by saying supporting Israel was understandable and thus wouldn’t be banned, the implication was that supporting Palestine was not understandable. No one is holding pro-Hamas rallies in France, they’re holding pro-Palestine rallies.

Demonstrations in support of Israel have not (yet) ended up in burning stuff in the street.
France doesn’t have a “free speech” clause before the “be civil” clause. In the US you can be an ass in the name of free speech, in France you can be civil or shut up.
