Sergeant Major Baxon took a determined step toward Dreyfus.
He brutally tore the ranks and uniforms and threw them at his feet.
He took the sword from his hand and broke it slowly on his knee.
"Long live France! I am innocent," Dreyfus shouted, "I swear by the lives of my wife and children!".
Humiliated, in his torn uniform, Dreyfus circled the parade ground along the rows of soldiers.
As he passed in front of a group of journalists, he called out to them: "You will inform the whole of France that I am innocent."
Some of the journalists insulted him and the mob behind the iron gates shouted "Death to the Jews."
Against the background of the disintegration of the old European historical order, at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, two formative trials based on an antisemitic blood libel took place in Europe.
Alfred Dreyfus in 1895 and Menachem Mendel Baylis in 1911.
The first in the supposedly enlightened France, the Republican, France of Liberty, Equality and Brotherhood.
The second sentence in Tsarist, dark, antisemitic Russia.
Bayliss was charged with the ritual murder of a Christian child.
Old School anti-Semitism.
Dreyfus, the emancipation of the Jews of France, a respected military officer, was accused of spying for Germany and fell victim to the "tunnel vision" and anti-Semitism of the security establishment.
The French Deep State.
He was convicted using forged documents hidden from the defense in the name of state security.
Familiar?
French President Felix Four, who was the first to reveal their existence to his brother, Matthias Dreyfus, explained that "he was indeed found guilty based on documents presented to the judges in the courtroom and could not be shown to either the defendant or his defense counsel."
It will be 11 years in prison, including one Emile Zola, until the French Supreme Court acquits him completely and restores his ranks and honor.
In April 1911, the pierced body of 12-year-old Andrei Yushchinsky was found near Kiev.
The rumor spread: The Jews performed a ritual-religious murder designed to prepare matzah for Passover matzah blood.
Four months after the body was discovered, a Jew named Menachem Mendel Bailis was arrested on suspicion of murder, based on false testimony.
The Bayliss trial took place in Kiev from September 25 to October 28, 1913, and received a huge international response.
On the first day of the trial the witnesses were sworn in and the jury was elected.
Eight uneducated peasants, three clerks and a small estate owner.
Melnikov, the elder of the jury, was the highest and only official with a full education of an elementary school.
The commission of inquiry set up in 1917 revealed secret documents that revealed that deaf agents had tracked down the jury candidates to make sure they believed in Jewish blood worship.
The trial lasted 34 days, the defense dismantled the prosecution's thesis.
The witnesses collapsed one by one.
At 5:30 p.m., the jury went out for a consultation.
At 7 p.m., they returned and the jury's elder Melnikov replied, "No, we are not guilty."
The day after the acquittal, the writer Maxim Gorky wrote: "Today is a holiday for Russia! The truth has won!
In Republican France, the religious, military, and governmental establishment treated Dreyfus' Judaism as a clear sign of his guilt, betrayal, and double loyalty of the Jews.
Herzl saw the Dreyfus trial as a defining moment in the understanding that Jews have no future on European soil.
Because emancipation failed.
After the complete acquittal Dreyfus returned to the French army and was promoted.
He and his son fought in World War I.
Dreyfus died in 1935.
His granddaughter was murdered in Auschwitz.
emancipation.
In the Bayliss trial, in Tsarist Russia dripping with old anti-Semitism, it did not take 11 years.
The anti-Semitic, musician, superstitious gentile jurors were not confused.
Their common sense and conscience led them.
They did not try to defend the system at all costs as French judges.
These jurors are a testament even to certified judges.
The Dreyfus and Bayliss trials drained the hatred and disgust for the Jews and stuck it to one person.
To an innocent Jew.
They marked a public.
So is the Netanyahu trial.
And yes, I'm not ashamed of the Dreyfus affair.
It is justified and even flattering to the French.
At the trial base Dreyfus and Bayliss had crimes: treason and murder.
They were the damn goat.
Netanyahu's trial is based on a precedent-setting and negligent indictment against an elected leader.
The prosecution and police first marked a target, then searched for an offense.
Not only in Republican France, the establishment hid incriminating documents from the defense and used the excuse of confidentiality over state security.
The cross-examination of Adv. Dana Neufeld, former spokesperson for the Ministry of Communications (and the current Ministry of Health) this week, exposed the prosecution's thesis in its nakedness.
Layer after layer, Advocate Jacques Chen peeled off the absurd bribe narrative. Her negligence, her vision of the tunnel, and her conception.
Chen revealed the minutes of the discussion on the Bezeq Weiss merger in the Cable and Satellite Council, which proves that the process was orderly and professional and in the end the merger was approved unanimously, three months before Shlomo Pilber was appointed director general of the Ministry of Communications. Netanyahu to Elowitz.
Boom chased Boom.
An eight-page opinion to the State Comptroller by Dina Zilber, former Deputy Spokesman, states: "There was no decision that benefited Bezeq.
The decisions made by the Prime Minister did not involve exercising exceptional discretion regarding Bezeq, and the decision was limited to adopting the position of the professional echelon. "
It was also revealed that Avi Licht, the deputy ombudsman, approved the abolition of the structural separation as part of Bezeq's investment in the deployment of the fiber infrastructure promoted by Pilber, without Netanyahu's intervention.
Pilber summed up well, until the state: "All the trolls the state has been going through for three years were born from some illusory 'thesis' ... and only with great delay does everyone now understand that the factual infrastructure was false, and reality reveals their disgrace (tried gas too but failed)."
In his concluding speech at the Bayliss trial, prosecutor Shmakov claimed: "In this trial we are facing world Jewry, and it has unlimited means."
Defense attorney Kravchevsky responded to the accusation of the Christian defense attorneys as "servants of the Jews" and declared: "Yes! I serve the Jews in this matter, because justice is with them!".
So be Krawczewski, be Emil Zola, be the 12 musical jurors.
Do not let hatred and prejudice kill your conscience and your sense of justice.
And wait for next week.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
