On the live broadcast of La Grande Librairie on France 5 on 9 September, the former actress Adèle Haenel denounced "a genocide in Palestine", accused France of complicity, and called for sanctions against Israel.
In the programme's "Droit dans les yeux" segment she declared: "We have to speak in order to say again what lies within this silence, so that everyone hears it: the State of Israel is committing a genocide in Palestine, and France is complicit." She then addressed the French authorities directly: "Do not accept the unacceptable; sanction Israel and free Palestine."
The video was immediately taken down by France Télévisions on the grounds that it had not been accompanied by an opposing voice on a channel funded by the taxpayer.
One note: the spelling is "Adèle Haenel" (not "Hanele"), and "France Télévisions" takes an -s. Want me to turn this into a full case with the fiche?
