Several non-governmental organizations expressed their fears of the "suppression" of voices supporting the Palestinian cause in Europe, following the cancellation of events and prosecutions of intellectuals and activists.

Julia Hall, a researcher at Amnesty International, said that “laws around hate speech and counter-terrorism are being used to attack” pro-Palestinian voices.

It pointed out that Europe witnessed "a stream of evictions and targeting of peaceful demonstrators, academics, and anyone who is fundamentally in solidarity with the human rights of Palestinians or criticizes the State of Israel."

In the European Union, at least 12 countries have taken “disproportionate measures,” including banning demonstrations on the grounds of an apparent danger to “public security” and “security,” according to a report by the Brussels-based European Civic Forum.

This “suppression of solidarity with the Palestinians” is due to the “massive support” provided by Europe to Israel related to the Jewish Holocaust, according to Arti Narsi of the European Civic Forum.

In France, which includes the largest community of both Jews and Muslims in Europe and which fears the repercussions of the war on it, the authorities have intensified their measures, banning pro-Palestinian demonstrations, canceling conferences, and issuing a summons to two political figures from the radical left on the grounds of “glorifying terrorism.”

Germany banned the arrival of former Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis in mid-April “in order to prevent any anti-Semitic and anti-Israel propaganda,” according to German authorities. The police stopped the activities of the "Palestinian Conference" in which he was supposed to participate, an hour after they started.

The Greek minister, as well as the Nobel Prize-winning French writer Annie Ernault, are in the crosshairs of the conservative Speaker of the Austrian Parliament, Wolfgang Zubotka, who is demanding the withdrawal of the invitation extended to them to the “Vienna Festive Weeks” art festival.

The festival's artistic director, Milo Rau, refuses to comply with this request, considering that calling the writer "anti-Semitic" is as absurd as calling her "anti-France" because she criticizes her country's government.

In France, the authorities adopted a “judicial administrative system” that targets “people who express support for the Palestinians,” while it does not extend to those who “support Israel,” according to lawyer Aryeh Halimi, a member of the League for Human Rights.

This is considered an “unfortunate” situation in the eyes of the lawyer who wrote the book “A Jew, a Frenchman, from the Left... in Chaos,” as “the struggle against racism and for humanitarian issues must always remain indivisible.”
