Mr. Mélenchon has since the Hamas terrorist attack of Oct. 7 accused Yaël Braun-Pivet, the Jewish president of the National Assembly, of “camping out in Tel Aviv to encourage the massacre” in Gaza, and described Élisabeth Borne, the former French prime minister and daughter of a Holocaust survivor, as expressing “a foreign point of view.” He denies he is an antisemite.

What a fucking super weasly way of trying to paint a left politician as antisemitic. The far right says openly Nazi level stuff all the time, and it gets barely any coverage.
