Merci de soulever le traitement des Palestiniens

"J’ai particulièrement trouvé frappant la mention de la ségrégation dont font l’objet les Palestinien.ne.s et la manière dont vous l’avez illustrée : le président d’Université refoulé à un checkpoint dimanche et les différentes couleurs de plaques d’immatriculation pour les Israélien.ne.s et Palestinien.ne.s."
