In this new chapter of the show The factory of liesjournalists Elsa Guiol and Etienne Mélou tell how the Covid-19 crisis has considerably increased anti-Semitism in France.
At each stage of the confinement, the speeches were full of speeches that evoked anti-Semitism in an encrypted way. Under cover of discourse around the “New World Order”, anti-Semitic clichés are flourishing again. It all starts with Agnès Buzyn.
“As of March 17, videos are circulating on YouTube. The comments target Agnès Buzyn with visible anti-Semitic criticism.”

As the health crisis evolves, it is renewed: the discovery of the vaccine, the appearance of the vaccine pass, up to these parades of people who wear a yellow star, like the Jews deported during the Second World War. Not everyone watching these videos is anti-Semitic, they “radicalize” almost without knowing it, like Clément who testifies in the documentary.
“This is what happens to a lot of people who spend their day on screens and social networks. All you have to do is click on an anti-Semitic video with content for the first time for the algorithm of these platforms to offer another, notes Elsa Guiol. TikTok has played a huge role in spreading these hate messages under the cover, always, of jokes.
