<p>“Under the cover of supporting the Palestinian cause, the government
accuses the groups of promoting hatred of Israel,” French newspaper,
Europe 1, reported.</p>
<p>Established in 2019, Palestine Vaincra is accused by the government “of calling for hatred, discrimination and violence.”</p>
<p>Darmanin added that France is also accusing it of ties with the
Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a group banned by the
Israeli occupation.</p>
<p>This comes after a series of “dissolutions” imposed by the French
State, including an order to dissolve the Collective Against
Islamophobia in France, as well as various leftist and anti-racist
organizations.</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">French Minister of the Interior Gérald Darmanin,
says he's intending to dissolve the Collectif Palestine Vaincra and
another pro-Palestinian organization at the request of French president
Emmanuel Macron. <a href="https://twitter.com/GDarmanin?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@GDarmanin</a> <a href="https://t.co/SjzhVKar4t">pic.twitter.com/SjzhVKar4t</a></p>
<p>— Ramy Abdeljabbar </p></blockquote>
<p>In response, Palestine Vaincra denounced the move as “an attack
against the solidarity movement towards Palestine and all anti-racist
forces.”</p>
<p>In a statement, its spokesperson, Tom Martin, said, “We condemn this
announcement in the strongest terms and are preparing a legal and
political response.”</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">This type of criminalization reflects the French
state’s ongoing attempts to cover up its crimes of colonialism
throughout the region and its complicity in Israeli war crimes. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Solidarit%C3%A9CollectifPalestineVaincra?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#SolidaritéCollectifPalestineVaincra</a> <a href="https://t.co/UjZTLkUkuD">https://t.co/UjZTLkUkuD</a></p>

<p>Palestine Vaincra is part of Samidoun, the Palestinian Prisoners
Solidarity Network, designated by Israel as a Popular Front for the
Liberation of Palestine affiliate.</p>
<p>An online petition has been created by Palestine Vaincra calling out
Darmanin and President Macron for their support to Israeli apartheid and
for public support against the criminalization of the solidarity
movement with Palestine.</p>
