Dreyfus was eventually declared not guilty and fully rehabilitated in 1906. Protesters who support Netanyahu also compared his trial to Dreyfus’ and raised Hebrew signs stating the comparison on Sunday outside the court.

He is charged with corruption and breach of trust. The prime minister’s trial began on Sunday, May 24. The Dreyfus affair became synonymous with an unjust legal persecution of an innocent person, which is why Netanyahu’s son made the comparison that Ruiz feels is unjustified. French society was deeply divided and the famous author Emil Zola took a public stand supporting the wronged officer in his 1898 open letter J’Accuse!. The case was highly political and his Jewishness came into a great deal of focus during the public debate over the incident. Dreyfus was a French-Jewish military officer who was found guilty of treason in 1894. “I think Benjamin Netanyahu still has not received his sentence, so that comparison can not be made,” she said. She pointed out her great-grandfather was an innocent man who was sentenced and found guilty for something he did not do. “What’s going on today is that the Dreyfus affair is systematically brought up whenever a murder case or an incident of corruption is discussed, which cheapens the symbolic strength of the Dreyfus affair,” she said on Tuesday in an interview with i24News’ French channel.
