French Council of State Upholds Dissolution of 'Collectif Palestine Vaincra'

The pro-Palestinian group was dissolved over accusations of antisemitic content and insufficient moderation on its platforms.

The French Council of State confirmed the legality of the government's 2022 decree dissolving the 'Collectif Palestine Vaincra'.
The group was accused of failing to moderate antisemitic and hateful comments on its social media platforms, which were deemed as incitements to discrimination and violence.
The collective had previously described the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel as a 'demonstration of resistance,' prompting further scrutiny.
Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin initiated the dissolution, citing the group's promotion of hate and discrimination against Israel and its citizens.
The organization has criticized the decision, arguing it reflects a broader effort to criminalize pro-Palestinian activism in France.
