Ruth Elkrief can be grateful that she is not in the United States, where an FBI undercover agent encouraged a couple of jihadis to murder Pamela Geller and me, along with as many others as possible, at our free speech event in Garland, Texas in 2015.
“‘Anti-Muslim’ journalist placed under police protection in France,” JNS, December 5, 2023 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
French journalist Ruth Elkrief is under police protection after the far-left French politician Jean-Luc Mélenchon referred to her as anti-Muslim.
In a tweet, Mélenchon, who has 2.7 million followers, called Elkrief “manipulative” and added, “If we don’t insult Muslims, this fanatic is indignant.”
Elkrief reduces “all political life” to “contempt for Muslims,” he wrote.
French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin said that Mélenchon had “put a target on the back of Mrs. Elkrief” that he had ordered police to protect the journalist, who is of Jewish Moroccan descent….
“Mrs. Elkrief, who already faced many threats as a journalist, was just doing her job,” said Darmanin, adding that Mélenchon “is not the greatest defender of the Jews that I know.”
Gérard Larcher, president of the French Senate, said, “It is unacceptable that in France a journalist is subject to pressure and insults” and can’t do her job safely….
