Many demonstrations of support for the Palestinian people are being held this Saturday afternoon, May 15 in several French cities.

In Paris, despite its ban confirmed in court, the associations that organize it are maintaining their call for mobilization. How to explain this determination and more broadly, how to explain that every time or almost the Middle East is set ablaze, the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians have such an impact in France?

To try to answer this question, Jean-Baptiste Marot is in line with the sociologist Michel Wieviorka, who has just published the report

 Racism, anti-Semitism, anti-racism.
