The French Jewish Union for Peace (UFJP) and Urgence Palestine filed a complaint Tuesday in Paris against French leaders of pro-Israel associations for “complicity in genocide against the Palestinian population in Gaza,” they said Wednesday in a communicated to AFP.
In this 70-page complaint, also revealed by Le Monde, the two associations “and a Franco-Palestinian victim” denounce “the organization, participation and call to participate in concrete actions to block humanitarian aid to destination of the occupied territory of Gaza, in particular by physically preventing the passage of trucks at border posts controlled by the Israeli army.
“This deliberate submission of the Gazan population to conditions of existence likely to bring about its destruction, and more particularly the use of famine, characterizes, both according to international law and according to French law, the crime of genocide,” supports the press release of the plaintiffs, represented by Damia Taharraoui and Marion Lafouge.
The complaint with constitution of civil party (PCPC) for complicity in genocide and incitement to the commission of genocide targets figures from Israel is forever and Tzav-9, pro-Israel associations presented as having French nationality. “From the moment French people are involved, French justice has a duty to investigate,” added the two lawyers. The PCPC aims to refer the matter to an investigating judge.
