Delil Boubaker: How can I pay tribute to Israel after its strikes against the Palestinians?

The Rector of the mosque of Paris, Dalil Boubaker expressed his dismay and shock after the statements in the Israeli magazine “SFB Israel” which reported that Dalil paid tribute to Israel justified the massacres committed by Israel against Gaza’s people. He told Echorouk that he will deposit a judicial complaint against the Israeli magazine as a response to its lies which are immoral.

• He also confirmed that he will not visit Israel only if the Palestinian case is resolved.
•  
• -What about the Israeli magazine’s statements?
•  
• *Those are just lies. The owner of the magazine aims to report wrong things against me. Everything was false in that magazine. Those were not my statements.
•  
• -So there was no interview with the Israeli magazine?
•  
• *No, I really have received an Israeli journalist a month ago at his request in the context of the dialogue between the religions in the mosque of Paris. We spoke about civilizations and relations between the different communities; however, I did not spoke about the Palestinians who are my brothers. It is a big lie.
•  
• -You paid tribute to Israel through praising its position in the region and friendship between the Arabs and Jews?
•  
• *I did not say that. How can I pay tribute to Israel after all the crimes they committed against the Palestinians? The evidence is that we ended the Islamic Friendship Association with the Jews on January 16 during the Israeli strikes on the Gaza strip.
