«A row over antisemitism hit France's ruling Socialists yesterday after a party grandee claimed that key policies were being shaped by the prime minister's Jewish wife.
The claim by Roland Dumas, a former foreign minister, that Manuel Valls was "under Jewish influence" generated widespread disapproval. Critics pointed out that Mr Dumas was echoing far-right conspiracy theories and Islamist propaganda.
The controversy has come at a sensitive time following shootings at a kosher supermarket in Paris last month, rising antisemitism in France, and attempts by President Hollande to dissuade Jews from leaving for Israel.»
