Rima Hassan, a French-Palestinian member of the European Parliament and a key figure in the far-left political group La France insoumise, is currently facing scrutiny over her alleged antisemitic views. This analysis comes from Jonas Pardo, a researcher dedicated to combating antisemitism. Critics, often associated with far-right groups, accuse Hassan of supporting Hamas and promoting antisemitic ideas in France. Pardo points out that some of Hassan's social media posts suggest that the CRIF, an organization representing French Jewish institutions, has undue influence over France's foreign policy, especially concerning Israel. He describes this narrative as one that has been circulating since the early 2000s and argues that it borders on antisemitism. Pardo stresses the need to examine the impact of such statements. While Hassan may not intend to be antisemitic, the responses and comments from online users under her posts often are. For example, she has tweeted phrases like "No matter who wins the presidential election, the real winner will be Rothschild," referencing the Rothschild family, a historically influential Jewish banking family. Additionally, Hassan has posted images of the French government building, the Élysée Palace, seemingly overrun by the Israeli flag. Pardo argues that antisemitism is increasingly used as a tool to polarize political discussions, benefiting those who aim to deepen divisions between left and right. A particularly heated exchange in February 2026 between Hassan and Caroline Yadan, a member of the Renaissance political group, drew significant attention. Yadan compared Hassan to Joseph Goebbels, the propaganda minister of Nazi Germany, and Hassan responded by saying, "Israelis behave like Nazis." This comparison appears frequently on Hassan's X (formerly Twitter) account, with the show "Complément d'enquête" counting at least 19 instances of such statements. Some of her tweets include phrases like "To the Zionists reading this, you are what the Nazis were for you." Hassan asserts that she has no active legal cases related to antisemitism. The analysis is part of an episode titled "Keffieh, tweets and controversies: the Rima Hassan method," set to air on September 17, 2026. The episode will explore the various aspects of Hassan's political career, her social media presence, and the controversies surrounding her.
