Paris rally: Ben-Gurion responsible for expulsion of Arabs
Dozens of leftists protest against city's decision to name promenade after Israel's first PM, say Jewish state continues 'killing and expropriation' policy
PARIS – Dozens of radical leftists protested in Paris Thursday against the city's decision to name a promenade after David Ben-Gurion, Israel's first prime minister.
Visiting Israeli President Shimon Peres was expected to take part in the dedication ceremony on the bank of the River Seine. Paris Mayor Bertrand Delanoe is also expected to attend.
According to the demonstrators, Ben-Gurion was responsible for the expulsion of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in 1948. The protesters chanted anti-Israel slogans and claimed that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government is continuing Israel's "killing and expropriation policy."
