Calls for solidarity as France moves to ban Palestinian solidarity groups

FRENCH activists called for solidarity today after Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said that two leading Palestinian solidarity organisations would be shut down for allegedly inciting terrorism.
He said that the Collectif Palestine Vaincra (Palestine Will Overcome Collective) would be closed in the coming days at the request of President Emmanuel Macron.
The government claims the group is linked to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and that its actions in solidarity with the Palestinian people promote hatred of Israel.
