In the following video you’ll see an instructive exchange between Caroline de Haas, a French feminist and Amnesty International militant (among other things); and Francis Szpinera, a celebrity French lawyer, whose Jewish family came to France from Poland. Mr. Szpinera causes distress for Ms. De Haas by pointing out her association with Muslim Brotherhood zealots during a recent rally.

| 00:24 | I just have been told… —Oh , no, I don’t think it was disparaging! — On the contrary… —It wasn’t | |

| 00:35 | that hit you like insults, I’m sorry; I only reminded everyone | |
| 00:41 | of a real fact: that you attended a rally, | |
| 00:45 | and during this rally there were next to you retrograde Islamists | |
| 00:49 | close to the Muslim Brotherhood, who favor the stoning | |
| 00:53 | of adulterous women, who are for whipping in the countries where | |
| 00:57 | Shariah is the law. I didn’t lie, I only explained a fact. | |

Indeed! Thank you!
