NAZARETH, (PIC)– Israeli fears of the growing anti-Israel sentiments in some European cities have started recently to rise once again as a result of its persistent and escalating crimes against the Palestinians.

In one incident, a lecture hall at the Italian university Naples turned lately into a battleground when Israeli professor from Haifa university Vardit Ha’im was interrupted and criticized several times by pro-Palestine students and peace activists leading her to leave the hall.

In another, US protesters in Minnesota State demanded a few days ago their government to stop Israeli investments in the US to prevent the use of their revenues in the building and expansion of settlements and the segregation wall.

In Berlin, participants in a symposium held recently in the German capital accused Israel of committing crimes against humanity by pursuing mass punishment and apartheid policies against the Palestinian people.

Aksi Heroik Pemuda Mesir, Panjat Dinding, Robek Bendera Israel

Minggu, 21/08/2011 13:55 WIB

Seorang anak muda Mesir melakukan aksi heroik pada Minggu (21/8) pagi. Ia memanjat ke lantai 15 sebuah gedung dimana terdapat kedutaan besar Israel di Kairo, mencopot bendera Israel yang terpasang di balkon dan menggantinya dengan bendera Mesir.

Ahmad Al-Shahhat, nama pemuda itu, mengatakan bahwa ia berhasil menyelinap sehingga terhindar dari pantauan aparat keamanan Mesir yang berjaga-jaga di sekeliling gedung itu.

Aparat keamanan tak kuasa menghentikan Al-Shahhat ketika pemuda itu sudah memanjat dinding gedung, hingga mencapai balkon kedutaan besar Israel dan mengganti bendera Israel dengan bendera Mesir
Al-Shahhat lalu merobek bendera Israel, membuangnya, dan sejumlah pengunjuk rasa membakar bendera itu ketika jatuh ke tanah.

Ribuan warga Mesir masih melakukan aksi protes di depan kedutaan besar Israel di Kairo dan menuntut pengusiran duta besar Israel. Mereka berunjuk rasa setelah pasukan zionis Israel membunuh lima polisi perbatasa Mesir di Eilat pada Kamis kemarin. Pemerintah Mesir sudah memanggil pulang duta besarnya di Tel Aviv. (aisyah/im)

Anti-Israel sentiments on rise in Europe

A recent survey across eight European countries has probed the reasons behind the growing hatred of Israel in several European countries.

Respondents in the poll say Tel Aviv's policies are the main reason for their hatred toward Israel.

They also cited the racist nature of Israel and Zionism as the second reason for their negative attitude toward Tel Aviv.

The survey was conducted by the Berlin-based Friedrich Ebert Foundation last July.

Around 3500 European adults participated in the telephone poll.

The developments come as peace activists in Europe are calling for Palestinian statehood, an end to the Israeli occupation, as well as the release of all Palestinian prisoners.

Moreover, Israel has also imposed a blockade on Gaza since the democratically elected Hamas government took control of the territory in 2007.

More than 1,400 Palestinians were killed during the three-week Israeli land, sea and air offensive in the impoverished coastal sliver during the winter of 2008-2009. The offensive also inflicted USD 1.6 billion in damage to the Gazan economy.

A United Nations inquiry led by the former South African judge, Richard Goldstone, detailed what investigators called Israeli actions "amounting to war crimes, possibly crimes against humanity," during Israel's offensive against the Gaza Strip.
