Colonialism deliberately fostered division between Algerian Jews and Moslems

Evidence

One of the most pernicious maneuvers of colonialism in Algeria was and remains the division between Jews and Moslems… . The Jews have been in Algeria for more than two thousand years; they are thus an integral part of the Algerian people… . Moslems and Jews, children of the same earth, must not fall into the trap of provocation. Rather, they must make a common front against it, not letting themselves be duped by those who, not so long ago, were offhandedly contemplating the total extermination of the Jews as a salutary step in the evolution of humanity. — Frantz Fanon, A Dying Colonialism, 517
