Possible inaccuracy
editI took most of this page from the Jewish Encyclopedia. But one element which an expert in this field may choose to look at is a discrepancy between it and several other reputable sources. e.g. the book to which I linked by Jamil Abu Nasr: [1]. This book names Pierre Deval as the Consul and says it was he who was insulted (hit with a fly whip) by the Dey. This also appears in these pages:

http://www.britannica.com/eb/topic-309339/Kabyle
and in several other sources. It seems to me possible that the Jewish Encyclopedia (written in 1901-6) is wrong. Please change the article if you know for sure. Thanks.--Lopakhin (talk) 00:59, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
Desagree of neutrality
editThis article want "faire porter" to the jews the responsability of the french conquest of Algeria (and colonization), this is wrong, the Bacri incident has no force anyone to do a conquest, there are multiple parameters, political, economical, sociological and historical which led to a conquest, much more that the Bacri affair, and its certainly not an incident minor which led to a conquest, its a stupid and pueril interpretation.
