Pierre Rehov: what Wikipedia removed
Pierre Rehov is a French-Israeli documentary filmmaker known for films on the Arab-Israeli conflict, its media treatment, and terrorism. Through 2015 the opening said he recalled that Jews in Algeria had been suffering Muslim antisemitism for decades, and that he left France in 2008 over what he called a growing climate of antisemitism in France. Today’s opening carries neither fact, though antisemitism survives 3 times in the article. A reader today learns what Rehov’s films are about and not the antisemitism he said drove him to make them.
The word “antisemitism” appeared 2 times in this article’s opening at its peak, in 2015. Today the opening carries none; the body carries 3. Checked against the full current article on 2026-08-01.
