In Nice, on Thursday, May 14, 2009, Dror Etkes, advocate for the legal battle against colonization, with the Israeli association “YESH DIN” (Law Exists) will testify to the existence of another facet of Israeli society. This facet comprises defenders of human rights and the existence of a future Palestinian State alongside the State of Israel.
Based on the civil laws of the State of Israel, they advocate for the respect of civil rights for all. “Palestinians are victims of violations of their rights on their lands and suffer from a policy of colonization and illegal expropriations, according to Israeli law in force,” according to the association “Peace Now”. Dror Etkes and YESH DIN accompany and support them, as part of a legal battle waged against the State of Israel, so that the law is also applied to all citizens and inhabitants of the country and the occupied territories.
The movement, Peace Now, aims to promote and support the actions of the Israeli movement Shalom Arshav, and make them known in France.
It ensures the maintenance of a space for dialogue between the Jewish and Arab-Muslim communities in France as in Israel. Over the past seven years, it has seen spectacular growth and organized numerous public meetings, as well as a demonstration in Paris, which gathered several thousand participants. “Peace Now” is now present in the Alpes-Maritimes, in Nice.
