STORM IN FRANCE: Unusual investigation reveals a 'Culture of Silence' at "Le Monde" surrounding the war in Gaza
A comprehensive investigation by "Le Figaro" is shaking the French media landscape with serious accusations of antisemitism and support for Hamas within the editorial staff of "Le Monde," one of France's largest and most influential newspapers.
In a rare move, "Le Figaro" published provocative images from the "Le Monde" newsroom, suggesting that it operates more like a political organization than a neutral media outlet, displaying a clear anti-Israel bias.
The investigation includes testimonies highlighting an increasing atmosphere of fear and discomfort regarding coverage of the conflict between Israel and Hamas. Journalists report that "people are afraid; there is an 'omertà'—a code of silence."
