The Grand Hotel Intercontinental cancels the Israeli Tourism Fair
Confronted with the indignation expressed by so many people in France and
abroad who had heard about the scheduled Israeli Tourism Fair in this great
Parisian hotel, the management of this establishment has made the decision
to cancel this event, which was supposed to open on January 15.
The hotel's management, as the Paris police prefecture has confirmed to us,
has indicated that it has disinvited the 50 Israeli exhibitors who had
planned to present their tourism products.
We express our profound appreciation for all the individuals and
associations in France and abroad that made the effort to express their
arguments to the hotel management, arguments that were certainly taken into
account in the decision to cancel the event. We also thank the management of
the hotel for this decision, and we stress that commercial relations and all
other interactions should be guided by basic ethical rules.....
Please stay mobilized ! At the present time we are publishing information
almost by the hour on our site
http://www.europalestine.com. That is how we
announced the entry, yesterday, into Gaza of a surgical mission led by Prof.
Christophe Oberlin, and we praise the courage of the French, Greek, German
and Egyptian specialists who have broken the siege in order to aid the
wounded.
Have a look at the short video on our site showing the big demonstration for
Gaza that gathered 100 000 people in Paris streets last Saturday :
