Pro-F.L.N. settlers publicly echoed colonialist talk to protect their cover, briefly becoming targets.

Evidence

The settler who helps the Revolution might be led to echo colonialist remarks in public—at the café or in a conversation—in order to assure the other Europeans of his solidarity. “With them the only thing that counts is force… . They’re all in cahoots… .” The people, who have their ears to the ground, find out that these remarks have been made, and a new body of evidence builds up in the village. That settler is unanimously designated as a target for the fadaïnes. It then becomes necessary to intervene tactfully, to prohibit any act of hostility to the person or against the property of that settler and at the same time not give any hint as to the reasons for these instructions. — Frantz Fanon, A Dying Colonialism, 524 (#expands, via linked claim)
