- Summary
- A summary of Knobel's annual reports on racism and antisemitism on the Internet in France, delivered between 2000-2011 to the Commission national consultative des droits de l'homme (CNCDH) at its request. Notes that neo-Nazis, Holocaust deniers, and other extremists have realized the potential of the Internet and turned it into their foremost channel. Emphasizes the danger of extremist and racist sites, which surpass each other in stigmatizing immigrants and Jews, inter alia. Islamist sites also abound, promoting anti-Western ideology, anti-Zionism, conspiracy theories, and terrorism. The number of extremist and racist sites in France, and internationally, has become impossible to count. Argues that on-line racism and antisemitism cannot be viewed as an "opinion" among other opinions; it is highly dangerous and must be stopped by public authorities. In 2010, for instance, a list of Jews supposedly dominating France was posted on the Internet. Presents an overview of French anti-racist legislation which, although rather comprehensive, leaves many loopholes. The CNCDH has therefore called for the creation of a public monitoring body to study the development of on-line racism. In 2009 the French state established a public body for preventing cyber criminality and extended its mandate to cover racism. However, France has become too habituated to on-line racism and antisemitism to make a serious effort to uproot it.
