Yesterday, Israelis voted for the first time since October 7. Last week, Michael Walzerâs article in the French, Italian and Portuguese edition of K., outlined the divide in this election: on one side, the Zionist policy of a âstate like any other stateâ; on the other, âexilic Judaism,â which unites the ultra-Orthodox and redemptionist activists….
Listening to Emmanuel Macron, one might think France only just discovered mass crimes targeting people based on their origins on October 23, following the terrorist attack in Trappes. This presidential amnesia, which wipes out an entire history of violence in one fell swoop, is, according to Bruno Karsenti, a slip of the tongue that is…
In Vienna, Johanna Lehr, a historian specializing in the persecution of Jews in Paris, is first struck by the taste of goulash, which takes her back to her grandfatherâs cooking, and then by the strangeness of a perfect, almost too-smooth city. Setting out in search of the âcollection campsâ from which more than 45,000 Viennese…

Jordan Bardella accused of antisemitic writings by Mediapart
Some people claim that the French far-right party Rassemblement National (RN) is no longer antisemitic, and that the vast majority of Jews would vote for Bardella. To discuss these two dubious assertions, we spoke to film director and essayist Jonathan Hayoun– notably the author, with Judith Cohen-Solal, of La main du diable : Comment l'extrÊme droite a voulu sÃĐduire les Juifs de France (Grasset,2019) [TN:The Devil's Hand: How the far right tried to seduce the Jews of France] –, and Johan Weisz, journalist and editor-in-chief and committed founder of the online media StreetPress. Interviewed by Elie Petit, they question the idea that, beyond the communication strategy, there would be a real normalization of the RN, while questioning the feeling of danger in which the Jews of France live, and its political consequences.
