Tour de France Protests Over Gaza Conflict, Israel Team Targeted
During the Tour de France, some people who support Palestine protested against the war between Israel and Hamas.
They waved flags, held signs, and called for the Israeli cycling team to be kicked out of the race.
The protesters believe Israel is harming Palestinians and want their governments to take action.
The cycling team said they respect the right to protest but are focused on racing.
The town where the protest took place has a history of protecting people, which inspired the protest.
Pro-Palestinian activists protested during the Tour de France, calling for the exclusion of the Israel-Premier Tech cycling team.
The protest involved flags, banners, and shouts of 'Free Palestine' as the race passed through Dieulefit, France.
One protester referred to the team co-owner, Sylvan Adams, as a spokesperson for a 'genocidal army'.
Israel-Premier Tech stated their focus is on racing and respect the right to protest.
The protest was inspired by the town's history of sheltering Jewish people during World War Two.
