Tariq Ramadan explains the boycott of the Turin Book Fair

The Islam specialist Tariq Ramadan denies calling for the boycott of the Turin Book Fair, at which Israeli writers are due to be special guests this May. He does nonetheless support the boycott and explains why. "A boycott is the method that defenders of Palestinian rights have chosen, in Italy, to make a voice of protest be heard in the hymn praising Israel, behind which lies the sombre reality of the occupied territories. ... I continue to think that the choice of Israel as guest of honour, while Palestinians are dying in Gaza, is a clumsy mistake. The gesture is totally in keeping with Europe's political position: Israel is celebrated, constantly maintaining confusion between political criticism and anti-Semitism and above all, we maintain a 'conspiracy of silence' regarding Israel's apartheid policy. This 'cultural' choice echoes the 'political' silence by contributing to the displacement of the problem as the blind partisans of the State of Israel are so good at doing."
