French municipality pressured to silence pro-Palestine group
Angered pro-"Israel" right-wing groups launch campaigns targeting a pro-Palestine group with the support of Toulouse municipality in France.
Members from "B'nai B'rith" and the "NGO Monitor," organizations that are close to the Israeli right-wing, have launched campaigns on social media in an attempt to intimidate and silence the Collectif Palestine Vaincra committee in France.
The organizations were "angered" by "Boycott 'Israel'" posters on a storefront and in the University of Toulouse Jean Jaurès, despite the posters' content adhering to press and free speech laws in France.

This pro-Israeli propaganda campaign has gained exposure after Israeli channel I24news devoted no less than two discussions for the topic in its "Middle East Mouths" show.
For its part, the Collectif Palestine Vaincra committee denounced the campaigns led by supporters of Israeli apartheid that were enthusiastically approved by the Toulouse City Hall, which is famous for its support for "Israel" and its shameful twinning with "Tel Aviv."
The committee considered that it is unacceptable for the city council of Toulouse to promote such campaigns aimed at silencing anti-colonial voices.
It is noteworthy that the Israeli occupation is targeting all gatherings, associations, unions, and anti-racist organizations that support the Palestinian cause.
