Organizations condemned the "wave of anti-Semitic and anti-gay hatred" targeting the new French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal on the "X" platform.
On Thursday, the Union of Jewish Students in France called for “sanctions” to be imposed on the publishers of these messages.
The union wrote in a message published on the same platform that “Gabriel Attal’s appointment as prime minister is the subject of a new wave of anti-Semitic and anti-gay hatred on X.”
He added, "This is not the time for condemnations, but for action," especially by "imposing sanctions on all writers of hate tweets."
Gabriel Attal was appointed Tuesday as Prime Minister of France, making him the youngest Prime Minister in the history of the Republic and the first openly gay to hold this position, as part of a ministerial reshuffle that is supposed to give new impetus to Emmanuel Macron's second term.
The head of the Representative Council of Jewish Institutions in France, Yonathan Arfi, on Tuesday, the day Attal was appointed prime minister, denounced “a wave of homophobic and anti-Semitic comments on social media.”
He said on the “X” platform, “For the haters, it is clear that the prime minister is attributed above all to his sexual orientation or the origin of his name. For the Republican minds, he is a prime minister, just that.”
