What happens when a journalist goes undercover and immerses herself in the heart of France’s radical left?
Join Allied Voices for Israel (AVI) and Doctors Against Racism and Antisemitism (DARA) in Montreal on April 16th for an exceptional evening with journalist Nora Bussigny, who will present her striking book, Les nouveaux antisémites (The New Antisemites).
After spending months infiltrating anti-Israel movements in France, Nora Bussigny returned with a chilling account of the evolution of systemic hatred within certain political circles.
We would like to thank our sponsors for this evening – The Bissell Family Foundation and The Institute for Public Affairs of Montreal.
The program will moderated in French by journalist Christian Rioux, who will take an in-depth look at Bussingby’s findings, the intersection between radical politics and modern antisemitism, and what these developments mean for the future of social cohesion in France, Quebec, and beyond.
