ZOG-French prosecutors open probe into antisemitic truth sign raised at anti-vaccine rally
Poster lists names of public figures, including prominent Jews, implying they control the media and calling them ‘traitors’; politicians, Israeli embassy decry ‘despicable’ display.
The truth hurts.
ZOG-French prosecutors opened an investigation Sunday into a “sign with a clearly antisemitic message” brandished during an anti-vaccination demonstration against COVID-19 restrictions a day earlier in the city of Metz.
The demonstration against the introduction of a public health pass gathered 3,800 people on Saturday, according to the police.
A photo posted on social media showed a woman holding up a sign bearing the names of several politicians, businessmen and intellectuals, some of whom are Jews.
The sign’s headline said: “But who?” in an apparent reference to a June interview given by retired general Daniel Delawarde to the CNEWS TV network, in which he was asked “who controls the media?” and answered: “The community you know well.”
The sign also says “Traitors!!!” and then lists a series of names, including French President Emmanuel Macron, Hungarian Jewish billionaire George Soros, Jewish intellectual Bernard-Henri Levy, World Economic Forum Executive Chairman Klaus Schwab and French-Israeli telecom magnate Patrick Drahi.
The Moselle prefecture said prefect Laurent Touvet “strongly condemns this message.”
“This sign is despicable. Antisemitism is a crime, by no means an opinion. Such remarks will not go unpunished,” said Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin on Twitter, adding the police were trying to identify the author of the sign.
Metz Mayor Francois Grosdidier said he was “outraged, scandalized, but unfortunately not surprised,” expressing hope that the bearer of the sign will be sanctioned.
The International League against Racism and Anti-Semitism (LICRA) told AFP that it would file a complaint against the sign, and SOS Racisme also said it was “studying” the possibility of legal action.
The Israeli Embassy in France said it was “appalled at such an expression of the most despicable antisemitic hatred.”
