Mr. Mayor,
Both Jewish and non-Jewish members of the Simon Wiesenthal Centre - France, have expressed distress at the large banners hungin Rue d’Avron in the 20th District, in particular the one calling for “Palestine Will Vanquish.”
Mr. Mayor, we fear that such banners will incite to hate and violence against the Jewish community in your municipaldistrict.
We urge you to remove these banners, as such political statements are unbecoming to your municipal party causes of Socialism orEcology.
