(Middle East Eye) A French imam has sparked outrage after dancing at an event organised in support of Israel and Israeli captives in Paris.
On 22 June, during “We Will Dance Again,” an Israeli music festival, Hassen Chalghoumi was spotted on a stage, dancing and surrounded by Israeli flags.
The event was organised by TheTruth, an association founded to challenge “disinformation, denigration of Israel, anti-Semitism, political Islam,” according to its social media accounts.
Chalghoumi’s participation in the festival amid Israel’s ongoing assault on Gaza and its attack on Iran caused heated reactions online, with users accusing the imam of “celebrating genocide.”
