EXCERPT

June 29, 2023

Geneva - Wiesenthal Centre Director for International Relations, Dr. Shimon Samuels, called on H.E. Mr. Alain Berset, President of the Swiss Confederation, to ban an event celebrating hate and terror against the State of Israel and the Jewish diaspora.
 
An exhibition on “Palestinian Resistance” is due to open this Friday, 30 June, until 8 July, at the Cercle du Mail of the Workers’s Party, in rue du Vieux-Billard, Geneva. The posters on display are by Marc Rudin, a.k.a. Jihad Mansour, a Swiss-born artist who died in April this year. He was deeply involved, since the 1970s, with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), listed as a terrorist organization by the European Union, the United Kingdom and the US.

The exhibition features posters celebrating martyrdom and armed violence, depicting a “Palestine from the Jordan to the sea” (without Israel), inciting children and women to join the struggle, glorifying terrorism... decorated with keffiyehs, Palestinian flags and macabre symbols of death and murder, such as kalashnikovs, hand grenades, molotov bottles, bombs, blood...

The organizer of the event is Samidoun, a Palestinian prisoners’ advocacy organization, outlawed in Israel as “a subsidiary of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).”
