Bernay – A picture circulating on
Twitter Friday evening showed the entrance to a Macron campaign branch in
Normandy covered with antisemitic slogans and slander. Macron’s face, gracing
the entrance to the branch in a poster calling on voters to pick him in the
elections that have sparked a heated debate in and outside of France, was
covered with threatening Xs.
Some
of the obscenities, scrawled in menacing red marker, included insults such as:
“pedophile” (referencing Macron’s wife, who is his senior by two
decades),”Israel= Mossad de Rothschild” (a nod at the famed Jewish
family whose name has become synonymous with the antisemitic portrayal of rich,
conspiring Jews that also mocks Macron’s past as an investment banker at the
French Banque Rotschild), ”Sioniste” (French for Zionist, unmistakably used
as an insult) and ‘the 20 most shocking extracts of the Talmud.’
Macron
is not Jewish but is an avid supporter of the Jewish state.
