The European Jewish Organization filed a complaint about the expert on the Arab world and Islamophobia for reposting a post on X on January 2.

François Burgat has openly expressed his support for Gaza in various statements and said in a post on X earlier this year that he has “infinitely more respect and appreciation for the leaders of Hamas than the leaders of the state of Israel.”
He has also criticized France’s stance on Hamas, calling it a capitulation to US and Israeli policy.

In a recent article published in the Palestine Chronicle, Robert Inlakesh wrote: “Doxing, disinformation, buying political candidates, Islamophobia, racism, meritless accusations, physical assaults, verbal attacks, censorship, and even antisemitism are all tools that have been used and abused by pro-Israeli propagandists in order to intimidate and silence pro-Palestinian voices.”

Inlakesh was commenting on a recent investigative piece published by The Guardian which exposed the central figure operating in what is known as the ‘Shirion Collective’ – “an Israeli disinformation network, that offered ‘bounties’ for information on pro-Palestinian activists.”
