Demonstration in Paris Against Palestinian Suicide Bombers Exhibition
(European Jewish Press) Some 400 people protested in Paris on Sunday in front of the Jeu de Paume museum to demonstrate against a photo exhibition which highlights Palestinian suicide bombers who characterize themselves as "freedom fighters." The exhibition of photos by Palestinian photographer Ahlam Shibli, which is displayed at the museum until September, has provoked outrage from Jewish organizations. Shimon Samuels, director of international relations at the Simon Wiesenthal Center, said on visiting the exhibition: "The summary of the exhibition in the museum's official catalogue describes Palestinian terrorists convicted in Israel as 'failed martyrs who have yet to achieve their unfulfilled suicide missions.'" "The glorification of suicide bombing on display at the Jeu de Paume museum can only serve to promote violence."
