France, Alternative Libertaire AL - political, aris: On the
beach, apartheid (fr, it, pt) [machine translation]
(a-infos-en@ainfos.ca)
Could we have imagined in the 1980s, the City of Paris to promote Pretoria, the capital of
South Africa then in full apartheid? Well, the Socialist Municipality is preparing to make
this great service to Tel Aviv, the capital of a colonial state that is still shown there
only a year, for a massacre in Gaza. ---- One year after the bloody attack on Gaza by the
IDF, the City of Paris has decided to put the banks of the Seine in the service of the
propaganda of the State of Israel by organizing, August 13, as part Paris-Plages, festive
entertainment "Tel Aviv-sur-Seine." ---- Despite the denials of Mayor Anne Hidalgo and
celebrate the capital of a racist and colonialist state appears as an opportunity for the
Netanyahu government to improve its image and to forget the daily violence suffered by the
Palestinian population.
Put forward a "popular seaside town of owls from around the world" [1]is deliberately
ignore the apartheid situation in Israel - including Tel Aviv - is to ignore the
colonization continues with impunity in the Palestinian territories is to ignore the
Criminal sea blockade and the shameful wall that keep people in poverty in the Gaza Strip,
all a few kilometers from Tel Aviv.
Faced with this hypocrisy, Alternative Libertaire supports the call for mobilization of
the Boycott Divestment-Sanctions campaign, and encourages all those and all those Israeli
political revolt to protest against the organization, by the City of Paris, this obscene
operation propaganda.
Against apartheid, against the occupation and against colonization, we will continue to
call for a boycott of the State of Israel as the rights of Palestinian women and men will
not be recognized.
