Ersilia Soudais defended the Toulouse professor suspended for calling for a boycott of Israel and participating in disinformation about the conflict in the Middle East. “Full support for the professor at the Toulouse School of Economics, who is subject to an outrageous cabal,” wrote the MP for the 7the constituency of Seine-et-Marne. “The figure of 200,000 Palestinian victims that he puts forward is not fanciful. It is based on a very serious scientific review,” continues the elected official, sharing an article from Release to support his words.
