Anti-Semitism killed yesterday and still kills today.

It is a crime, which must be systematically condemned

The general delegate of En Marche! Stanislas Guérini, still on Twitter, also blasted “open-
face anti-Semitism. Ignoble. Chilling
”, and deemed him“
liable to prosecution

appalled at such an expression of the most abject anti-Semitic hatred

A photo posted on social media shows a young woman holding up a sign inscribed with the names of several politicians, businessmen and intellectuals, some of whom are Jews, around the slogan "
But who?
".
This slogan appeared following an interview in June on the CNEWS channel with a retired general, Daniel Delawarde, signatory of a column evoking “
the disintegration
” of France, published by Valeurs Actuelles. To the question "
who controls the
"
media pack
"
?
"And after several reminders, he replied"
the community that you know well
", before being cut by the presenter, Jean-Marc Morandini. For the Licra, this slogan is “
another way of saying that we don't like Jews
”.
The Paris public prosecutor's office had opened shortly after the interview with General Delawarde an investigation for "
public defamation
" and "
incitement to hatred and violence because of the origin or membership of an ethnic group, a nation, a race or religion
”.
