French socialists split within days over whether the Dreyfus case was their concern

Evidence

Scarcely had J’Accuse appeared when the Paris socialists held their first meeting and passed a resolution calling for a revision of the Dreyfus case. But only five days later some thirty-two socialist officials promptly came out with a declaration that the fate of Dreyfus, “the class enemy,” was no concern of theirs. — Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism, 325

• XREF: The ‘class enemy’ dismissal of Dreyfus echoes the Left’s recurring failure to organize against antisemitism that later readings in the Islamophobia field trace — cf. the Third International debates.
