Julien Théry

Julien Théry is a medieval history lecturer at the Lumière University Lyon-II, who has recently come under scrutiny due to allegations of antisemitism. He was suspended from his teaching position after making controversial remarks on social media about twenty public figures, predominantly of Jewish faith, whom he labeled as 'genocidaires to be boycotted.' His comments were criticized for being incompatible with the values of the French Republic and the university. The situation escalated following a letter published by these personalities in Le Figaro, which called for actions concerning the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, leading to a public outcry and further investigations into his conduct.
