On Twitter, the hashtag #TelAvivSurSeine was one of the most shared day Saturday.Publications, sometimes very aggressive, have not failed to link the policy conducted by the government of Benjamin Netanyahu and the tragic events in the West Bank in recent days. The announcement on the morning of the death of the toddler's father , who died of his injuries, will undoubtedly helped revive the debate.

Hall tempers

The mayor of Paris said, still on the Paris site, have "taken note of agitation in social networks," but has no plans to cancel a "festive and cultural" event. It specifies that a particular safety device will be set up with the Prefecture of Police of the city, to avoid any incident.

Especially, the municipality called "for calm and to do well separate things."

A position not shared by the counselor of Paris Danielle Simonnet (Left Party). The elected Saturday denounced the "indecency" of this operation and asked Anne Hidalgo, mayor of Paris, to review the programming. "The cynicism of the organization of such a day as part of Paris Plages reached the heights of indecency," says Danielle Simonnet in a statement.

"Just one year after the massacre on the Gaza Strip by the state and then the Israeli army and the Israeli government intensified its settlement policy with the dramas that we know, the City of Paris dares to organize [... ] a day honoring Tel Aviv and its festive atmosphere in Paris Beaches "said the manager. "No exchange with Israeli humanists are provided, let alone a debate on the situation of the Palestinian people," she laments.

Tel Aviv is the city of coexistence, secular and multicultural, with mosques, churches, synagogues, veiled women alongside those bikini, gay pride monumental ... Unique in the Middle East. Those who protest are much bad faith and refuse this harmony. Hate ignorant people who are exactly what they pretend to denounce.

I do not understand this outcry in France for a partnership that will be ephemeral as this ridiculous beach will soon disappear ... That said the city of Tel Aviv is in no way responsible for the horrors committed by some Israeli extremists. Palestinian terrorists also have their fair ... Let's stay.
