 The war in Gaza has played into French politics in a kind of number of ways. I'm not quite sure how it's playing among the electorate, which is why I'm hesitating, but I can explain how it's playing out at the level of state and high politics. A lot of the French political class have accused the left of being in hock to Islamists, and they were doing this before Gaza. They used to call them Islamo-leftists.
