Episode Details

French President Emmanuel Macron condemned rising antisemitism at the inauguration of a statue for Captain Alfred Dreyfus, a Jewish officer wrongfully convicted in a 19th-century scandal that exposed France’s deep-seated prejudice — a moment echoing 120 years later as tensions spike. Just hours before, police evacuated hundreds from a Paris suburb after a suspicious vehicle near a synagogue was found armed with a military-grade weapon, sparking a terrorism probe. Amid a surge in antisemitic attacks since the Hamas-Israel conflict, Macron declared July 12 a national day to honor Dreyfus’s innocence, while his 99-year-old grandson, Charles, mourned the return of hatred yet celebrated the enduring legacy of his grandfather’s exoneration.
