After an image circulated online of Ludivine Daoudi wearing a Nazi hat, the candidate for office as part of Marine Le Pen’s National Rally party withdrew her candidacy, Politico reported.

Daoudi was running for office in Calvados in Normandy, France.

The erstwhile candidate “does not deny” that she wore the Nazi hat and “took this photo several years ago at a gun fair in Saint-Pierre-sur-Dives,” Philippe Chapron, a National Rally official, told French media.

“She agrees that the photo is in bad taste,” he said, and her “candidacy will be withdrawn today.”

The National Rally party won big, with about a third of the vote, in the first round of France’s legislative elections on Sunday. French President Emmanuel Macron’s coalition came in third.

The two men were hit by “friendly fire” during a nighttime raid.
“This attack not only affects us, but is also a signal to the Jewish community in the Netherlands,” the Christians for Israel nonprofit said.
If the Iranians do not reach an agreement with Washington, there will be hell to pay, the U.S. president warned.
At least five people were wounded by enemy cluster munitions in central Israel. “It breaks my heart, I had a special home,” a Ramat Gan resident said.
Of course Iranians want to topple the Islamists, “they don’t have anything to eat,” INSS expert tells JNS. But the obstacles remain formidable.

The Israel Defense Forces continued to execute strikes in Iran over the Passover holiday.
