The video features Palestinian and French activists dancing in a supermarket in the town of Evry, near Paris, wearing T-Shirts written on them phrases calling for Boycotting Israel.
Zemor, President of the EuroPalestine association says she was not present at the action at the supermarket, she only published the video on the internet.
“We showed our solidarity in publishing this action on our website in July 2009, even though we did not participate ourselves, because the action took place at the same time as the Librairie RĂ©sistances was sacked by the LDJ. (Kahana movement not forbidden in France !),” said Zemor.
The Kahana movement is outlawed in Israel over a decade ago, yet in France it is still permitted, however, calls for boycotting Israel are outlawed by the french government.
As a result, a number of activists have been standing trials for calling for boycotting Israel. more
