Masada Action and Defense Movement
The Masada Action and Defense Movement (French: Mouvement d'Action et Défense Masada ) (German: The Masada Action and Defense Movement ) was a racist French underground organization that pretended to be Zionist motivated. In the 1970s and 1980s she confessed to having been responsible for three attacks on Arab targets. The first attack was carried out on a PLO bookstore in Paris in October 1972 . Two other attacks were carried out on hostels in Nice and Cannes in 1988 . Both hostels were frequented by Arabs from North Africa. In the attack on the hostel in Nice, one person was murdered and a total of 16 people were injured.
The bombers presented themselves as a right-wing extremist Zionist group and left letters of confession under the title "Mouvement d'Action et Défense Masada". Anti-Arab pamphlets with stars of David on them were left behind. In 1989, the investigation revealed that it was a white supremacy group that carried out the false flag actions to provoke tension between Jews and Arabs .
