A Parisian Mayor was threatened and warned
that he will be "blown up" after he named a street in honour of
Palestinians who were forced out of their homes by the creation of the
state of Israel. The Mayor, Dominique Lesparre and his colleagues at
Bezons town hall said that they had received "a multitude of threatening
calls." Lesparre was called a "Nazi Communist" and was warned "we will
kill you", and "we will blow up the mayor".
After the illegal UN sanctioned partition
of Palestine in 1948, Israeli terrorist organisations like the Haganah,
Irgun and Stern gang expelled nearly 800,000 Palestinians from their
homes and their land. The street in Bezons, in the north west of Paris,
is now called Nakba Alley.
It commemorates the "Catastrophe" (Nakba in Arabic) as it is called
by the Palestinians, which as we know, they mark every year. The recent
commemoration saw scores of men women and children murdered and injured
by Israeli Defence Force snipers. Speaking to French media the Mayor
said: "I have an emotional thought for the Palestinians who are forced
to fight for the recognition of their state within the 1948 borders."https://www.richieallen.co.uk/paris-mayor-names-street-in-honour-of-palestine-french-jews-threaten-to-kill-him/
