The National Assembly of France has approved a bill on Tuesday statting that anti-Zionism is a new form of anti-Semitism.
The legislation passed with 154 lawmakers voting in favor and 72 voting against.
The bill was promoted following a host of anti-Semitic acts in France over the past year – the latest being an anonymous vandalization of 107 gravestones in a Jewish cemetery near the city of Strasbourg in eastern France.
