The CRIF wrote to France 2

Following a television broadcast advocating BDS released on February 10, 2016, the CRIF reacted.

President Roger Cukierman addressed, on February 11 a letter to the President of "France Télévisions", Mrs Delphine Ernotte, in which he expressed concern after the film France 2 aired on February 10, a documentary making the apology of BDS.
 
Roger Cukierman stressed that "Prime Minister Manuel Valls has repeatedly said that the boycott of Israeli products is prohibited by the law and provides support for the development of anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism."
 
"This broadcast makes the apology of a practice prohibited by law. It helps disinformation and delegitimization of Israel," he wrote.
 
"Experience has shown that BDS is also likely to promote hatred of Israel and of the Jews of France, and thus to legitimize and encourage attacks against Jews," added the President of CRIF.
 
"A few days after giving a very long tribune to a patented activist, in a debate against Alain Finkielkraut, Mr Pujadas distinguished himself further, a behavior seen by many French Jews as anti-Semitic," he concluded, calling on the President of France Télévisions to pay "full attention, so that France 2 would not become a support of criminal organizations prohibited by law."
