      What is this claim based on? Got an example?

        I’m not French, but it seems to be because they’re anti-zionist with a Muslim immigrant constituency and the center and the right like to use that as a political lever. That’s why I said “something something.” I have yet to see anything with substance but I obviously can’t go digging either.

        An example I saw was the party leader was accused of being antisemitic because he said the finance minister was in the pocket of international banking. He later clarified he had no idea the guy was even Jewish, just that he was a centrist finance minister that he thought was in the pocket of international banking.

        Then when the media reports on this as antisemitism and they complain that the media is biased against them they’re supposedly using the trope that the Jews control the media. In actuality it’s the capitalists that control the media and they’re more than happy to do a hit job on the left.

          Appreciate the response now days that terms doesn’t mean much of anything so got to check before before jumping to conclusions.
