Algerian Jews joined the F.L.N. as double agents against France.

Evidence

Yet another important group to be won over to the F.L.N., by an adroit combination of carrot and stick, came from the Jewish community of Algeria, notably its intellectuals. In August 1956 a group of Constantine Jews wrote a public letter, declaring that “One of the most pernicious manoeuvres of colonialism in Algeria was, and remains, the division between Jews and Muslims … the Jews have been in Algeria for over 2,000 years; they are thus an integral part of the Algerian people.…” The Jews were to provide invaluable services as “the eyes and ears of the revolution”, in the words of Frantz Fanon; often acting in the role of double agents against the French. — Horne, Alistair, A Savage War of Peace- Algeria 1954-1962, 431 (#corroborates, via linked claim)

Over the long years of the colonial era anti-semitism had seldom raised its head among the Muslim population, but soon after the revolt began the F.L.N. was applying the screw upon the Jewish community to force it to declare itself. As with the other uncommitted groupings, the Jews found themselves subjected to the persuasion of terrorism and economic sanctions. — Horne, Alistair, A Savage War of Peace- Algeria 1954-1962, 1257 (#contradicts, via linked claim)
