A demonstration organized by the Belgian-Palestinian Association (ABP) to put an end to violence in the Middle East quickly degenerated on X (formerly Twitter), pushing politicians to react. The reason ? The fact that an organization (Samidoun), in a message close to the apology of terrorism (“Glory to the martyrs!” “Long live the struggle for return and liberation”), called for people to join this demonstration. Hence a certain confusion leading different actors (the FGTB, Ecolo j and the Socialist Youth), pilloried for their presence, to dissociate themselves. “We dissociate ourselves and condemn any call to demonstrate that justifies crimes once morest civilians. People who attribute to Ecolo j texts and visuals that we have not signed are participating in the deterioration of the public debate around an issue that should unite us: respect for international law and the right of all to live in harmony. peace,” tweeted the young section of Ecolo. As for the Socialist Youth, they reacted by saying “they have no link with the organizers of the second demonstration. The screenshot circulating does not come from the event organized by the ABP. We firmly condemn the atrocities and barbarities committed by Hamas, we have never attempted to justify their actions. Our position is clear and unambiguous.”
