Demonstrators took the streets at Queen Louise's Bridge in Denmark in protest of allowing the Israeli occupation team to compete in the Tour de France cycling championship.

The protestors raised Palestinian flags and sprayed anti-Apartheid slogans on the streets, rejecting the participation of the Israeli team and demanding their expulsion from the Tour de France.

In the same context, the Cycling Tips website reported that "Israel"-Premier Tech cycling team "has been given a 24/7 police presence since it arrived in Copenhagen" to participate in the race.

According to the website, "eight police officers and three police cars were stationed at the hotel on Thursday afternoon, the day before the race begins with the stage one time trial, with officers saying 'all is ok' and not wishing to provide any further statement."

On its part, the Israeli cycling team claimed that the additional police presence is related to the attack that targeted the Great Synagogue in Copenhagen seven years ago.

“In Denmark, after the terrorist attack outside the Great Synagogue in Copenhagen in 2015, the police are always present when an Israeli delegation, like the Israel-Premier Teach team, is staying in Copenhagen,” Cycling Tips cited the Israeli team as saying.

“It’s not by request of the team, but just default by Danish police,” Israel-Premier Tech claimed.

It is noteworthy that the Israeli cycling team is financed by Israeli-Canadian billionaire Sylvan Adams, which spent $12 million - with the aim to whitewash the human rights violations and crimes of the Israeli occupation against Palestinians - to convince Giro d’Italia Director Maura Vegni to start the famous race in occupied Al-Quds on the so-called seventieth anniversary of the Zionist entity, which is known for the rightful owners of the land as the Nakba (the catastrophe).

Adams, a self-proclaimed Israeli ambassador, says he is “devoting this chapter of life to promoting Israel.”
