Tunisians launch anti-Israel campaign

Scholars from Tunisian universities have launched a campaign against any normalization of cultural and academic ties with Israel, Press TV reports.

The campaign started in the capital, Tunis, as university scholars, public figures and intellectuals signed a charter to prohibit ties with Israelis.

Fawzi Aloui, a scholar from the University of Tunis, said that there should be a ban on “any attempt to create official or unofficial channels of communication with Zionists under the pretext of scientific research, cultural studies or academic coordination.”

The campaign has been hailed by students and ordinary citizens who call for the criminalization of ties with Tel Aviv.

“We are teaching important values to our students. There is a Zionist enemy that would be never recognized. The isolation of this regime is possible,” Mohamed Naceur from the University of Jendouba told Press TV.

Tunisians have frequently condemned the passive attitude of some countries in the region towards the Palestinian tragedy in the occupied territories.

Last month, Tunisians held a demonstration in the capital against Israeli crimes in the occupied Palestinian territories.

The protesters torch Israeli flags and chanted anti-Zionist slogans, calling for a national protest against Zionism.
