![Emma Rafowicz, French Socialist: Unfazed by Anti-Semitic Attacks 1 Emma Rafowicz, president of the Young Socialists, at the Parti Socialiste (PS, left) headquarters in the Paris suburb of Ivry-sur-Seine, June 23, 2022.](https://img.lemde.fr/2024/04/23/0/0/2560/1704/664/0/75/0/6da41d6_1713883162860-000-32d39pt.jpg)
In a powerful demonstration between Place de la République and the Grands Boulevards in Paris, supporters gathered to advocate for the Palestinian cause amidst the conflict with Israel. Led by Jean-Luc Mélenchon, the leader of La France Insoumise, and French-Palestinian lawyer Rima Hassan, the event also saw Emma Rafowicz, president of the Young Socialists, marching to make her mark in the European elections campaign.
Despite being the niece of an Israeli army spokesperson, Rafowicz has adamantly supported Gaza, facing backlash and anti-Semitic attacks. Her resilience and efforts to raise awareness and garner support for the Socialist party have been met with both praise and hate. As she continues her journey across France, Rafowicz remains focused on her mission, undeterred by the challenges she faces.
