Pro-Palestine activists have called for Israel - Premier Tech to be confronted by more protests than ever at both the Giro d'Italia and Tour de France this year, in light of Israel's ongoing invasion of Gaza.
In a post on the official Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) site on Monday, the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel wrote: "We call for more protests than ever along the race routes of the Giro d’Italia and the Tour de France, which will start from Italy this year."
The organisation refers to Israel - Premier Tech as being "Israeli government-sponsored", stating that the outfit serves to "sportswash" what it calls a "75-year-long regime of military occupation and apartheid."
Israel - Premier Tech is not directly connected to the country's government, but the squad has a strong association with Israel through its co-owners, Israeli-Canadian billionaire Sylvan Adams and Israeli businessman Ron Baron.
