RESPONSIBLE FOR BAN

"Jewish Squad" Group

The ‘Jewish Brigade’ has shared the personal details of pro-Palestine journalists, activists and public figures on messaging platforms such as Telegram, as part of ‘doxxing’ practices aimed at exposing individuals to harassment. These actions, often coordinated and relayed by other groups, have led to massive intimidation campaigns (repeated calls, threats, abuse), as well as forms of offline harassment (identity theft, malicious deliveries, targeting of relatives). Several complaints have been filed and a preliminary investigation has been opened by the Paris Public Prosecutor’s Office.
