Right-wing extremist group targets pro-Palestine figures in France
ANKARA (AA) – In France, journalists, artists, and opposition politicians who have been giving vocal support to Palestine have been getting threatening messages from an extremist group.
A joint investigation by Anadolu and Gaza News+ revealed that the Jewish Defense League (LDJ) targets prominent figures who declare support for Palestine by sharing their personal information on Telegram channels.
Among the names that have been targeted so far are comedian Yassine Belattar, Malik Bentalha, journalist Guillaume Meurice, lawyer Fabrice Di Vizio, and lawmakers David Guiraud and Louis Boyard, as well as Feiza Ben Mohamed.
Several of the people targeted reported that they had been receiving dozens of threatening phone calls every day since October 8.
“Those people are going to kill a random Arab one day, just to make an example out of it. I don’t see any other outcome to the escalation of the violence and threats, which will drag the country into a catastrophe,” one of the targets said.
Two other people targeted explained that they got random phone calls from extremists, pretending to call from delivery services, in order to learn the access codes of the buildings where their targets live.
Other extremists sent e-mails, also supposedly for delivery purposes, asking the targets to fill in the blanks with their home addresses.
