Lawsuit in slandering

In a lawsuit which is held in 2006, Eyal Sivan continues in slandering the intellectual Alain Finkielkraut, which had declared that the Israeli realizer was “one of the actors” of “the Jewish anti-semitism” current. Also evoking “the hatred of Eyal Sivan with regard to the Jews”, Alain Finkielkraut considered that, for Sivan, “it is a question of killing them, to liquidate them, and to make them disappear”. Débouté in first authority on June 27th, 2006, Eyal Sivan appealed.
