People react during the march. A Senior EU official, Tresa Ribera, European Commission's Executive Vice President, says Israel's war in Gaza is a genocide. In Toulouse, France, on September 9, 2025, people take to the streets to denounce the current Israeli onslaught in Gaza. The Israeli onslaught in Gaza is deemed 'genocide' by the CPI and several NGOs such as Amnesty International, HRW, and PHR. Israel crosses all the red lines of humanitarian laws and even laws of war. No meaningful humanitarian assistance is delivered to Gaza since March 2, and a UN-related global hunger monitor warns that more than a million people face starvation in Gaza. More than 300 Palestinians die of human-made starvation. The US-Israel Gaza Humanitarian Foundation distributes aid, but Israeli forces continue to kill Palestinians when they gather to obtain food. More than 1,000 Palestinians are killed during such distributions. The UN and NGOs do not want to participate as they call it a 'weaponization of Food'. Since October 7, 2023, more than 64,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza by the Israeli army.

6 July 2025

People react amid clouds of tear gas. Opponents of the planned A69 highway gather in the Tarn department in Maurens-Scopont, France, on July 6, 2025, for a weekend of protests called 'Turboteuf' at the domain of the Maurens-Scopont castle. After protesters try to break into the work site to reach a bridge, riot police and protesters scuffle. Riot police use volleys of tear gas canisters. The decision of the Administrative Court of Appeal of Toulouse greenlights the resumption of leveling works on the A69 highway. The Administrative Court of Toulouse decides on February 27 to suspend all works on the A69 project highway between Toulouse and Castres. NGE/Atosca files an appeal against this decision and asks the court to let the works continue during the time the appeal is judged. Two senators and two MPs from the Tarn department propose a retroactive law to authorize the building of the A69. They say they want to bypass the decision of the Administrative Court of Toulouse. Atosca says all leveling works have begun and that more than 70% of highway structures are completed. However, the leveling works and highway structures are not close to the numbers given by Atosca. Moreover, several problems plague the work, such as water evacuation and protection of species. The main association 'La Voie est Libre' (i.e., 'The Way is Free') wants the building of the highway to be stopped until all the judicial decisions are given. All expropriations for farmers are not cleared. Opponents of this project say that the reprofiling of the N126 will be sufficient for the 6,000 vehicles planned per day and would cost far less money. The A69 highway will cost EUR512 million (in 2018 euros without inflation) for 54 kilometers. More than 100 protected species and 400 hectares of agricultural fields will be destroyed.

People react during the gathering. People gather in Toulouse, France, on June 11, 2025, in support of the 'Madleen' flotilla after its illegal boarding by Israeli forces in international waters. Gatherers are pushed by police who use tear gas canisters and pepper spray. Some members of the crew are still held in jail in Israel. The 'Madleen' aims to break the humanitarian blockade imposed by Israel on Gaza for nearly three months. On board are Swedish activist Greta Thunberg, Reva Viard, and Rima Hassan, an MP at the European Parliament. The ship carries humanitarian aid for Gaza. A man decides to begin a hunger strike until all captives of the 'Madleen' are freed and Israel ceases its blockade. Since the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, the Gaza Strip has been leveled and decimated by Israel: more than 55,000 are killed, and 100,000 are injured. The U.N. estimates that up to 2 million people in the Gaza Strip--or more than 85% of the population--are forced to flee Israel's devastating bombing campaign and that all people in Gaza face starvation. Civilians bear the brunt of Israeli killings.

27 March 2025

People react during the die-in. As Macron says France must be put on a 'war economy', French regions, departments, and city councils must make drastic cuts in their budgets. Hundreds of people gather first in front of the town hall of Toulouse, the Capitole, to perform a die-in in red and black before gathering with other sectors behind the town hall. They make drastic cuts in all cultural arts, leisure centers, libraries, community youth clubs, and are laying off people. In Toulouse, some libraries, theaters, and youth community centers will close next year. Students and protesters say that instead of increasing military spending, they should preserve culture and social services from the deepening cuts. In Toulouse, France, on March 27, 2025.
