An extract from Ismaël Boudjekada’s last live, broadcast by the account Azadi woman on Xignited social networks and was widely relayed and commented on on the internet. In this video, the elected official from Grand-Charmont comments, straightforwardly and with his usual casualness, the lynching of Jewish supporters after the Ajax-Maccabi Tel-Aviv match in Amsterdam. Incendiary comments, convictions for advocating terrorism, and repeated provocations: Ismaël Boudjekada tests the limits of the Republic. A look back at explosive declarations which question political responsibility and tolerance in the face of excesses.
Analysis of a damning video that reveals uninhibited hatred
Ismaël Boudjekada, elected representative of Grand-Charmont in Doubsthis is not his first rowdy outing. He recently distinguished himself by appearing in a video shared by the Femme Azadi account on X. Regarding the events in Amsterdam, he declared unambiguously: “I think they didn’t take enough. That’s it, I won’t say more. » These words are not those of a simple observer, but of a man invested with political responsibility. In a democracy where words have weight, this sentence has the merit of reminding us that certain elected officials seem to have a fairly personal approach to public discourse.
“You know what? Record the baltringue that you are. I wish I was in Amsterdam to run a few of them. » How can a representative of the Republic make such a speech without the nation being alarmed?
Friend of extreme causes, but at what cost?
Boudjekada goes further, evoking his proximity to figures of extremism. He declares, not without pride: “Look, this photo is giving you hemorrhoids. Me, in the company of Hamas number 3. – They are all dead, stop. – This guy is alive and well and I’ll meet him in a few weeks. » These comments are no longer just recklessness, but a self-proclaimed display that blurs the line between ideological support and troubled commitment. What should we think when a French elected official prides himself on relationships with figures associated with terrorism?
Throughout his statements, he does not bother with euphemisms: “France itself is plagued by the Zionist cancer. » A statement which, if it is intended to be provocative, recalls the need to ensure that public speech does not become a vector of division. The political debate, however lively it may be, must not fuel already sensitive community tensions.
Ismaël Boudjekada and his assumed contempt for institutions
In this extract, Ismaël Boudjekada does not mince his words: “And you don’t know the guys. At some point, when you’re judged by pork, How do you expect it to affect us when we are judged by pigs like you? Your big best khabib, your new MP Halloufa, aka Caroline Yadon. » A declaration which, by its form and content, invites us to wonder whether this strategy of excess really serves to convince or simply to divide. And then, there is this exit which slams like a challenge to anyone who dares to contradict it: “We’re all annoying you as much as you are. And you have difficulty understanding that today, we have won the battle of opinion. » Respect has taken an extended vacation.
Tweets with a provocative tone
In a tweet addressed to MP Caroline Yadan, he wrote: “Silence from @CarolineYadan on the arrest of 2 of our gendarmes by the Zionist entity. It is true that we cannot pump Israel up to this extent and communicate with our mouths full. Action is required against our internal enemies. I bring my unwavering support to our military. » When insinuation mixes with insult, It’s hard not to see provocation as a strategy. Far from an argued debate, this type of declaration says a lot about the tone and intentions. This tweet, beyond its content, reveals manifest contempt et recalls that if speech is free, it is not exempt from responsibility.
Likewise, sentences “Even if you are in Israel, we will bring you back, but you are not ready” et “If we have to pay dearly, dearly, dearly, to come and pick you up there, we will come and pick you up there. And then you can cry. Ah, it’s a pogrom” strike with their violence. The Ismael Boudjekada affair reminds us that freedom of expression, when brandished without conscience or responsibility, can become a tool of discord.
The heavy legal past of Ismaël Boudjekada
This is not the first time that the chosen one has been talked about. In June 2024, he was sentenced to 20,000 euros fine et three years of ineligibility for advocating terrorism after having hailed Hamas as a “Palestinian resistance movement”. Despite this sanction, Boudjekada persists and signs, going so far as to pay tribute to the leader of Hamas, Yahya Sinouar, calling him “hero”.
France-Israel: a tense match, in the shadow of Amsterdam
On November 14, 2024, the Stade de France is preparing to host a meeting marked with particular attention: the Nations League match between France and Israel, scheduled for 8:45 p.m. Against the backdrop of the violence that occurred in Amsterdam. To avoid a similar scenario, the government has deployed a reinforced security system as reported by francetvinfo. The parallel with the situation in France is not unfounded. As the France-Israel match approaches, questions are being asked about the authorities’ ability to prevent any excess. The collective memory has not forgotten the evening of November 13, 2015when the first detonations of the terrorist attacks resounded around the Stade de France during a France-Germany match, causing the death of a passerby and 63 injuries. This tragic episode still resonates as a bitter reminder of the vulnerabilities that exist, even in places that are supposed to be secure.
