Racist colonial hierarchy led some Jews to humiliate Algerians to gain standing.

Evidence

Finally, colonial Algeria being an eminently racist country, the different mechanisms of racist psychology are to be found there. Thus the Jew, despised and excluded by the European, is quite happy on certain occasions to identify himself with those who humiliate him to humiliate the Algerian in turn. — Frantz Fanon, A Dying Colonialism, 501 (#corroborates, via linked claim)

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 (#expands, via linked claim)
