Yellow jackets attacked a well-known Jewish intellectual in Paris

The Paris prosecutor's office has announced the opening of an investigation for "harm to the person of origin, ethnicity, nationality, race or religion" after the broadcast of A video in which the anti-Semitic insults of the "yellow jacket" against the philosopher Alain Finkielkraut were clearly recorded. The serious anti-Semitic episode occurred during the last march of "jackets" Saturday in Paris.

The marches of "yellow vests" have drastically decreased since their peak in November and December, but they manage to maintain a presence in the street that is distinguished by its violence. In the video, you can see several yellow jackets threatening and insulting Finkielkraut: "Jewish Zionist Sale", "Go home", "We are the people", "France is French" or "Dirty shit" "the people punish ", are some of the phrases that can be heard. Since the movement of "yellow vests" began in November, they have stood out with their anti-Semitic expressions. In mid-December, phrases such as "France dies of hunger and Jews light the lights of Chanukah", the party celebrated at the time by the community, were heard. "Macron, you are the prostitute of the Jews", was written on a bridge of the Paris-Marseille highway. "Macron, you are the puppet of the Jews" and "Jews, the crisis is your fault" were sentences painted or chanted by the "yellow vests".

The essayist commented: "They emphasized my relations and my positions vis-à-vis Israel, there is a very strong feeling of hostility toward the Jews and I pay for my notoriety" , he lamented. President Macron condemned the attack and the "anti-Semitic insults" against Finkielkraut. These insults "are the absolute denial of who we are and what makes us a great nation," said the head of state.
