Gaza French cultural center defaced with anti-cartoon grafitti

You will go to hell, French journalists’ spray painted on walls of building in response to Charlie Hebdo publication

The walls of the French Cultural Center in the Gaza Strip were spray painted with graffiti before dawn Saturday in reaction to a cartoon published in the latest issue of French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo whose cover depicts the prophet Mohammed holding a “Je Suis Charlie” (I am Charlie) sign under the headline “All is forgiven.”


You will go to hell, French journalists,” read one of the slogans daubed on the walls of the cultural center compound, which has been closed since it was damaged in a fire last October.


“Anything but the prophet,” read another.

Police were deployed outside the compound’s main gate as well as on the adjacent main road, an AFP correspondent reported.
