- Case Description
Incitement/Boycott (Provocation à la discrimination/ Boycott) – The Court of Appeal justified its decision when it acquitted the publication director of a website of public provocation to discriminate against a company on the grounds that it belonged to the Israeli nation – The statements in question, which reported on militant action in favour of the Palestinian cause, called for a boycott of the company's products – But it did not incited any person to discriminate against the aforementioned company, and did not contain any incitement to discrimination, and did not target this company because of its membership of the Israeli nation but because of its alleged financial support for the political choices made by that country's leaders against the Palestinians.
