The decree presented to the Council of Ministers argues that "
under the guise of defending the cause of the people of the Palestinian territories, this group claims and incites through its slogans, its publications and its actions, hatred, discrimination and violence against people because of their origin, supports organizations considered to be terrorists or individuals involved in acts related to terrorism and thus legitimizes the use of violent actions
”.
Gérald Darmanin also announced in February the launch of the procedure for dissolving another association, “
the Action Palestine committee
”, based in Bordeaux.
This group presents itself, according to its site, as an association working "
for the realization of the national rights of the Palestinian people
", in particular "
the right of return of refugees, that is to say the liberation of the Arab land of Palestine
" .
.
The association also says it denounces “
Zionism as a colonialist and racist movement
”.
The decree of dissolution concerning him mentions his "
support for various terrorist organizations
" which "
goes hand in hand with a legitimization of terrorist methods, since their authors claim to be in the interests of the Palestinian people or target the interests of Israel
”.
