Politics'France has fallen': Far-right figures fuel Islamophobic claims with false student protest videos

France’s student protests have been targeted by a wave of false and misleading videos shared by far-right figures including Alex Jones and Tommy Robinson. Old footage and unrelated images are being recirculated to depict the demonstrations as an “anti-white” or Islamist uprising tied to uncontrolled immigration. The protests are actually about school conditions such as overcrowded classes, teacher shortages and poor facilities.
