As part of the Palestine Seminar, the École normale supérieure (ENS) and Paris Sciences et Lettres (PSL) University organized a conference entitled “Anti-Zionism and Antisemitism” on 10 February 2025. The event brought together, among others, contributors to the books Contre l’antisémitisme et ses instrumentalisations (Against Antisemitism and Its Instrumentalizations, La Fabrique, 2024) and Antisionisme : une histoire juive (Anti-Zionism: A Jewish History, 2023). Before and during the conference, the organizers were subjected to online smear campaigns and pressure on site, amid the circulation of defamatory, Islamophobic, and racist rhetoric.

The following seminar session, devoted to education in Palestine and originally scheduled for 17 February, was subsequently postponed.
