BDS Movement Disrupts ‘Israeli’ Envoy to France

Local Editor

Dozens of Boycott, Disinvestment, Sanctions [BDS] activists interrupted a lecture by the Zionist ambassador to France, Aliza Ben-Nun, at the Faculty of Political Science at the Sciences Po Rennes University last week.

At the beginning of the lecture, dozens of students stood up shouting "Freedom to Palestine" with deafening force, some of whom waved a large Palestinian flag.

The students announced that they strongly opposed the meeting and were averse to having an ambassador of a "colonialist state" sent by its far-right government appear in an academic institution in France.

‘"Israel' presents itself as the only democracy in the Middle East while it has been imposing an apartheid regime against the Palestinians for decades, completely ignoring the international community," one student lambasted.

Another student enumerated the ‘Israeli' crimes against the Palestinians, noting in this context the blockade on Gaza and the expansion of the settlements, which, he said, made the possibility of establishing a Palestinian state impossible.

He further emphasized that ‘"Israel' massacred the Palestinian people" during Operation Cast Lead and Operation Protective Edge.

A third speaker condemned the efforts of the ‘Israeli' embassy in France to pressure universities to prevent the ‘Israeli' Apartheid Week events on their campuses. The speaker also indicated that anti-apartheid activists received threats of murder and rape.

After the incident, the protesting students were removed from the auditorium.
