Yellow stars in anti-vaccine protests: "scandalous and dangerous", according to Haïm Korsia

INTERVIEW

The images have prompted many convictions. During the demonstrations last week against the compulsory vaccination of caregivers and the health pass, the virulence of some opponents marked the spirits. "No to the Nazi pass", "false pandemic, real dictatorship", could one read in particular on certain signs, while certain leaflets or participants hijacked the yellow star, this symbol of the oppression of the Jews by the Nazis. Invited Monday from Europe 1, the chief rabbi of France Haïm Korsia also expressed his indignation. And regrets the "trivialization" of the persecutions suffered during the Second World War. 

"All these amalgamations are dangerous and scandalous", he believes, in particular because they "push for a form of trivialization".

"Compared to what happened during the Second World War, to the organization of the deportation of the Jews, the worst thing is the trivialization, to consider that everything is worth", continues the person in charge. religious. 

"Ineligible"

Denouncing images "which seek to shock and create a form of rejection", Haïm Korsia recalls that while the vaccine "is intended to put everyone in human relationships found", "compare this to the yellow star, which was a way to get someone out of society is unacceptable ". 

Asked about the possibility of a dialogue with these most radical demonstrators, Haïm Korsia is rather pessimistic. "I don't think you can talk to people who are so convinced," he replies. "What is happening with this anti-vaccine drive from some is very serious because of what it says about the desire to live in a society, in a human group where everyone respects the other," he said.
