the beach, apartheid (fr, it, pt) [machine translation]

Could we have imagined in the 1980s, the City of Paris to promote Pretoria, capital of 
South Africa when apartheid regime in full? 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 is barely 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 the 
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.
