French activists have launched a protest rally against the planned visit by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Paris, slamming Bibi’s human rights violations across the occupied Palestinian territories.
The protesters gathered in Place de la Republique square in Paris on Saturday, wearing T-shirts and holding portraits of Netanyahu with signs reading (in French) "fascist,” “murderer,” “racist” and “torturer.”
The activists also chanted slogans against Israel’s continued settlement construction in the Palestinian occupied territories and the blockade of Gaza.
President Emmanuel Macron has invited Netanyahu to visit France.
Addressing the gathering, President of EuroPalestine Olivia Zemor lashed out at Macron for “rolling out the red carpet” for “a criminal, a torturer - the torture of men and children exists - a land thief, to someone who does not respect international law and human rights, which is embarrassing.”
men and children exists - a land thief, to someone who does not respect international law and human rights, which is embarrassing.”
