THE MOBILIZATION PAID OFF : PARIS CITY HALL REMOVES ITS BILLBOARD SUPPORTING WAR CRIMES
The numerous protests in reaction to the unspeakable initiative by the Mayor’s office to erect a billboard in Bercy park in support of the Israeli army, were not in vain.
Mayor Bertrand Delanoë and his assistant in charge of relations with the zionist lobby, Pierre Schapira, had a large billboard erected in the park displaying the photographs of 3 Israeli soldiers captured, during combat operations, by the Lebanese and Palestinians resisting the occupation army. This venture was as shameful as it was hypocritical, since the photographs showed the three soldiers in civilian clothes, with no mention whatsoever of their nationality or the fact that they are members of the Israeli army.
But faced with the growing demands that the Mayor’s office, which revels in its humanitarian pretentions, take action instead for the liberation of the 11,000 prisoners illegally held in Israeli jails, including the young Franco-Palestinian student Salah Hamouri imprisoned without trial, Delanoë et Schapira have apparently realised, after all, that obscenity has its limits.
Just before the weekend, they had the shocking billboard removed, leaving on the scaffolding this ridiculous little notice, which says "This has been removed for cleaning, due to degradation."
The protest rally on Sunday 11 November at the scene of the municipal crime, in response to the appeal by more than ten associations, was a great success. The two major Arab-language TV channels, al Jazeera and al Arabiya covered the demonstration, unlike the French mass media - even though it had been given advance notice.
Thanks again to everyone for mobilizing.
ARMY OF ISRAEL, ARMY OF CRIMINALS !
LIBERATE THE PALESTINIAN PRISONERS !
NO NO NO ! TO THE OCCUPATION !
STOP THE MASSACRE OF THE PALESTINIANS !
Best wishes,
