They are full of meaning, because they recall the bloody hands of those who lynched two Israeli soldiers in Ramallah in October 2000. But the investigations into the “red hands” discovered tagged on the “Wall of the Righteous” of the memorial of the Shoah, in Paris, on May 14 do not necessarily favor the hypothesis of an anti-Semitic act.
According to information from Chained Duck and of BFM TV, investigators rather favor the thesis of Russian interference. After having used video surveillance images in particular, their suspicions are focused on nationals who would have stayed in a Parisian hotel before leaving the territory quickly after the events.
Like the Stars of David of October 2023
This modus operandi recalls the episode of the Star of David tags, which were found on several Parisian walls at the end of October 2023, after the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war. Three Moldovan men were identified as the perpetrators of this damage. They had been paid to come and tag in Paris.
Following the information published Tuesday in Le Canard Enchaîné, SOS Racisme expressed its indignation in a press release. “These actions aim not only to terrorize the Jewish community, but also to weaken our national cohesion by exploiting or creating tensions and fractures within our society,” she believes.
