| In France, Progressives Fight a Two-Front Battle Against Israeli Propaganda and Anti-Semitism | | Pierre Guerlain - Truthout - Israeli government propaganda always plays
the same game: deflecting legitimate critiques of Israel toward
accusations of anti-Semitism, often conflating anti-Zionism with anti-
Semitism (precisely what some anti-Semites are doing). Yet in France, a
small group of people does correspond to what is generally a slanderous
accusation. Some individuals and groups close to the far right and
supporters of anti-Semitic Dieudonné or of former leftist turned far-
rightist Soral, mix with pro-Palestinian demonstrators and Islamist
groups who advocate violence against Jews. This very small minority
gives the pro-Israel lobby an opportunity to base their propaganda on a
few facts. ak
