If antisemitism has long plagued France, dating back to the Middle Ages, it's now metastasizing in new, alarming ways, according to a recently published book by French journalist Nora Bussigny. Titled "Les Nouveaux Antismites" ("The New Antisemites"), it exposes virulent Jew-hatred endemic to many far-left organizations in France, infiltrated by Bussigny as part of a lengthy undercover investigation. Using a false identity, Bussigny uncovered pervasive antisemitism and anti-Zionism, now a common denominator among diverse groups that often disagree on other matters. "I saw with my own eyes to what degree Islamists, far-left so-called progressive' militants and feminist, LGBT and ecological activists are closely linked in their shared hatred of Jews and Israel," Bussigny told The Times of Israel during a recent interview on Zoom.
In the book, Bussigny shows how radical anti-Israel groups, including Urgence Palestine, Palestine Vaincra and Samidoun (designated a terrorist organization by several countries), receive political support in France, sometimes public funding and access to municipal facilities where they hold meetings and workshops seeking to radicalize young people.
Making "Les Nouveaux Antismites" more noteworthy is that its author is not only not Jewish, but half Arab-Muslim, adding to the enmity she faces.
