The F.L.N. pressured Algerian Jews through terrorism and economic sanctions to declare loyalty.
Evidence
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
