Jules Molle

Jules Molle (16 February 1868, Aubenas - 8 January 1931) was a Fascist French Algerian politician.

[1] He was the founder of the Unions latines political party, the mayor of Oran and the publisher of an Anti-Jewish newspaper, Le Petit Oranais, which ran for years with a swastika on its front and openly called for violence and persecution against Algerian Jews.

His victory in the 1921 mayoral election was followed by street violence against Jews.

[2][3] After he was arrested in the year 1925 on charges of incitement to violence, pro-Molle rioters attacked and pillaged the Jewish quarter in Oran.

By the time army forces had quelled the violence, two Jews had been killed and fifty wounded.
