Paris sees “Russian interference” in Star of David tags

France condemns the role of a Russian network in “artificially amplifying” and “spreading it first” on social media of photos of tags of stars of david in paris. The French Ministry of Foreign Affairs said this on Thursday.

In the press release, the Foreign Affairs accuses the Russian network Recent Reliable News (RRN). “This new operation of digital Russian interference is evidence of one persistent opportunistic and irresponsible strategye to exploit international crises, to sow confusion and create tensions,” it said.

On October 31st dozens of Stars of David found on facades of buildings in the fourteenth arrondissement in Pariss, and in other places in Paris and its suburbs. The Stars of David were applied with stencils.

An investigating judge must identify the perpetrators and determine their motive. The trace of a client abroad is “not excluded at this time”, says the French court. “It may have happened at the express request of a person abroad.”

The tags caused a lot of fuss in France. Especially now that more and more anti-Semitic crimes are being committed due to the war between Israel and the extremist Palestinian organization Hamas. On Thursday, before the publication of the French press release, Russia denied any involvement. Moscow called the accusations that surfaced in the French press “stupid” and “scandalous”.
