Comités Palestine

Comités Palestine ('Palestine Committees') was a movement in France for solidarity with the Palestinian people. Comités Palestine was founded in September 1970.[1] The membership of Comités Palestine consisted largely of North African students and workers.[1][2] A large share of the membership of Comités Palestine was recruited at universities from former members of the Comités Vietnam de base.[3] Comités Palestine was closely linked to Gauche prolétarienne ('Proletarian Left').[1] Comités Palestine was particularly active in Paris and Marseille.[4] Comités Palestine collected funds for the Palestinian Red Crescent.[2]
