Indigenous Israelites are still worried about the current turn of events. They make propaganda in an indigenous environment. Certain wealthy Jewish circles in Constantine would have given 50,000 francs to Doctor Bendjelloul. The Israelites have an obligation to hand over the weapons they have to the authorities; which gives rise to a clandestine arms trade between Jews and Muslims.
In Constantine and Bougie, the PPF( French People Party) had posters pasted with the words: “Down with the Jews and the Freemasons. Long live Pétain! Long live Doriot. In Khenchela, cries” Long live Pétain! Down with the Jews “and stones are thrown into the windows and windows of Jewish homes.
