  • A woman in French riots blamed "Zionists" for running France.
  • She urged French citizens of foreign origin to vote for Jean-Luc Mélenchon's party.

Recent riots in France, stemming from social and political crises, economic hardship, and inflation, have escalated into violence, arson, and clashes with security forces, leading to thousands of arrests. Amidst the unrest, chants in Arabic and expressions common among immigrant populations from North Africa and Arab countries have been documented. In a video circulating on social media, a woman participating in the riots, dressed in Algerian nationalist symbols, attributed the blame to "the Zionist entity."

She claimed that "Zionists run France," and that this explains the current state of the country. The speaker asserted that the public is not paying attention and is wrongly blaming the Muslim faith and Algerians specifically for the events. As part of what appears to be Islamic propaganda, she called for a mass mobilization of individuals with foreign origins and dual citizenship, urging them to vote for Jean-Luc Mélenchon's La France Insoumise (LFI) party, which she described as the "extreme left" with "solutions."

The video also shows her shouting "Allahu Akbar" and issuing explicit threats to those who disagree with her, stating, "If I find someone who is not Algerian, I told him I will open your legs, I will break your knees!" The woman, who engaged in political rhetoric and threats, was also seen actively participating in the violent riots, wearing a mask and protective goggles while shouting nationalist and violent slogans.
