Julien Dray denies famine in Gaza with vile comments

ByMuhammad

The former socialist deputy and now a columnist on CNews, far right chainhas again aroused indignation. Asked about the famine that ravages the Gaza band, Julien Dray dared to declare: “There is a bar which distributes ice cream in Gaza which is more busy than certain ice bars in Paris. »»

This sentence, of an icing cynicism, comes as the UN and many NGOs are sounding the alarm: children die of malnutrition, whole families survive barely, and the Palestinian enclave is confronted with an unprecedented humanitarian disaster.

It is not a “slippage”. Julien Dray became known in the 1980s through SOS Racisme, a structure presented as a bulwark against discrimination, but which above all made it possible to channel the anger of young people from immigration to the electoral logics of the Socialist Party. This widely documented instrumentalization has fueled Dray’s career much more than it served the cause of the “Beurs”. What mechanics is the same: denigrating the victims, minimizing horror, making a diversion. It is not only provocation, it is an insult to families who cry their dead and children who die of hunger under blockade. By putting Gaza’s famine into perspective, Julien Dray is not content to express an opinion. His remarks are a trivialization of crimes against humanity and a negation of the suffering of Palestinian civilians. As such, he should respond not only before public opinion, but also before justice.
