French activists campaign against Jewish Defense League
Activists in France have launched a campaign to disband the French branch of the Jewish Defense League (JDL), which is reportedly protected by the French government, Press TV reports.
Pointing to numerous acts of violence committed by the JDL, the activists censured the French governments tolerance of the Jewish group and reaffirmed their determination to continue their campaign to ban the JDL.
The United States considers the JDL as a terrorist group. It is a Jewish far-right organization whose stated goal is to expel Palestinians from their homeland and protect Jews from anti-Semitism by whatever means necessary.
Under former French President Nicolas Sarkozy, the groups ties with the French government surfaced after French police allowed JDL members to use their sports facilities for military training.
The group has committed hundreds of violent acts in France, but their crimes have gone unpunished and even unreported, with merely a single conviction on record.
In a latest instance of violence, JDL thugs recently attacked Olivia Zemor, a leader of the non-violent Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaign, sprayed a very toxic paint all over her body and posted the video of the assault on their website. French police arrested no one with regard to the attack.
Any time they see a Palestinian voice, they attack them and they run away, because the French government is an accomplice to that, said Nicolas Shahshahani, Zemors husband.
The JDL also attacked Shahshahanis bookstore in 2006, using tear gas and dousing his books with cooking oil, but none of the perpetrators was apprehended.
