During the spring of 1895, in a context originated by the beginnings of the Dreyfus case, a real political debate about “the Jewish problem” was initiated in Parliament by a group of deputies led by Edouard Drumont, a journalist who had been famous since the publication of his satirical tract The Jewish France in 1886. During two days two anti-Jewish questionings were discussed and the Ribot government dismissed the opponents and the supporters of anti-Semitism, thus endowing as a result the supporters of anti-Semitism with a political legitimacy. Up to that day, the French citizenship for the Jews of Algeria alone had been opposed to in Parliament, and apart from that, anti-Semitism fought mainly against “Jewish capitalism”, the Rothschild, the “Jewish” financial scandals and so on. From 1895, the very presence of Jews in the state administration and even among the national community is contested. This “dispute”, absolutely unique among parliamentary annals, constitutes, in many respects, a turning point in the history of anti-Semitism in France.
