Boycotting “Israel” Equals Discrimination, Hate, and Violence!

Local Editor

Attempts of boycotting "Israeli" goods and protesting the Zionist hawkish actions taking place are enrolled under the title of so-called anti-Semitism.

According to the Alternative Information Center, representatives of the French BDS (boycott-divestment-sanctions) group "Coordination des Appels pour une Paix Juste au Proche-Orient (CAPJPO) Europpalestine" will be appearing in court in Paris on 29th October on charges of discrimination, hate and violence.

On 4 July 2009 the group organized an event at a Carrefour supermarket in Evry, where they sang songs, spoke, danced, and informed shoppers of their work.

They then published the video, and are being charged under claims that the film constitutes an "offense of incitement to discrimination, hatred or violence against a group of people on account of their belonging to the "Israeli" nation."

According to Jews Sans Frontiers, this is not the only act of judicial persecution of BDS in France or elsewhere.

In October, three activists from "Collective 66 for Peace and Justice in Palestine" are to be tried for participation BDS activities.
