法国欧洲议会议员里玛·哈桑周二表示，她在法国举行的欧洲议会活动中摘下了以色列国旗，以抗议加沙地带的种族灭绝、违反国际法和“难以忍受的双重标准”。“该事件发生在周一”以色列国外交代表和犹太委员会组织的一次非官方活动中（美国犹太委员会）因通过欧洲代表前往被占领土来促进殖民化而受到批评，哈桑在美国社交媒体平台上写道，她补充说，斯特拉斯堡活动中展示的项链上印有以色列地图，涵盖加沙，巴勒斯坦被占领土，她说，这无视欧盟的长期外交立场。
French European Parliament member Rima Hassan said Tuesday that she removed an Israeli flag at a European Parliament event in France to protest the genocide in the Gaza Strip, violations of international law and "unbearable double standards." The incident took place Monday at "an unofficial event was organized with the diplomatic representation of the State of Israel and the AJC (American Jewish Committee), which has been called out for its promotion of colonization through trips by European deputies to the occupied territories," Hassan wrote on US social media platform She added that necklaces displayed at the event in Strasbourg featured a map of Israel encompassing Gaza and the occupied Palestinian territories, which she said disregarded the EU’s longstanding diplomatic position.
哈桑说，受邀参加活动的以色列艺术家亚伦·鲍勃在交流中否认巴勒斯坦和巴勒斯坦人的存在。
Hassan said Israeli artist Yaron Bob, who was invited to the event, denied the existence of Palestine and Palestinians during an exchange.
“我引用的话是：‘巴勒斯坦不存在。这是一个幻想，就像独角兽一样，”那么‘就没有巴勒斯坦难民，也没有巴勒斯坦人’，”她写道。
"I quote: 'Palestine does not exist. It is a chimera, like unicorns,' then 'there are no Palestinian refugees, nor Palestinians'," she wrote.
哈桑说：“当我离开时，我从看台上取下了以色列国旗。”“我的举动是谴责正在进行的种族灭绝、违反国际法以及这种不断且难以忍受的双重标准的一部分。"
"As I was leaving, I removed the Israeli flag from its stand," said Hassan. "My gesture is part of the denunciation of the ongoing genocide, of violations of international law, and of this incessant and unbearable double standard."
她辩称，欧洲议会“不会允许”俄罗斯国旗进入欧洲议会，而她说，以色列通过其外交使团出席了这次活动，继续受益于“完全不受惩罚”。"
She argued that a Russian flag "would not be admitted" within the European Parliament's premises, while Israel, which she said was represented through its diplomatic mission at the event, continued to benefit from "total impunity."
欧洲议会议长罗伯塔·梅索拉周二早些时候指责哈桑破坏了展览，并表示正在“极其严肃地对待这一事件”。“我们正在根据我们的程序采取所有适当的步骤，”梅索拉在全体会议上告诉立法者。哈桑否认将其描述为袭击。
European Parliament President Roberta Metsola accused Hassan earlier Tuesday of damaging the exhibition and said that the incident was being treated "extremely seriously." "All appropriate steps according to our procedures are being taken," Metsola told lawmakers during a plenary sitting. Hassan rejected the description as an attack.
她解释说，由于由此产生的不平衡，附着在同一底座上的欧盟旗帜掉落了。“没有旗帜被踩踏、损坏或扔掉。"
She explained that the EU flag, which was attached to the same base, fell because of the resulting imbalance. "No flag was trampled, damaged, or thrown away."
哈桑说，她写信给梅索拉，介绍了她对这一事件的描述，并要求她跟进记者要求公开这些视频的要求，认为缺乏透明度可能会助长“假新闻”。"
Hassan said she wrote to Metsola to present her account of the incident and asked her to follow up on journalists' requests for the videos to be made public, arguing that a lack of transparency could fuel "fake news."
