:Article, dated sept 2012, about the event where the photo was taken [[http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/475028/jay-z-beyonce-event-raises-4-million-for-obama]]. I guess the gesture was referring to what the $4 million will help do to Republicans. |

Better picture
Why put a picture here of M'Bala M'Bala? Wouldn't it be much more relevant to put a picture of the quenelle gesture? Well... if it would be ok to illustrate it that is. Also: I am missing an explanation of why Anelka was using it. In the context of the article, it seems he was using a Nazi salutation, which seems weird coming from a player whose family comes from Martinique. I am putting some short explanation.

- Ok, I am backing up. I have it clearer now after reading short background pieces. The article has been pointing to good news sources, however without expressing M'Bala M'Bala's political convictions, the article didn't make sense to me. I've added it so now the story about Anelka makes sense to me and the picture is meaningful, as well. Ben T/C 13:26, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
- I now know what gesture to make if I ever find myself in the unfortunate position of having to stand next to Jimmy Wales. :)
- Enterely wright with Ben TC ! It 's just advertising for Dieudonné M'Bala, M'Bala ! 86.218.79.168 (talk) 14:27, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

I have removed the image of the comedian for the moment, it appears that this gesture has been used by many people, so placing just one proponent of it here is undue. The Rambling Man (talk) 14:36, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
- He invented the gesture, it appears. Not that anything in the article (or in the French Establishment/Zionist propaganda) actually explains what the gesture means. Hint: darned vets - anti-Semites all of them, for years they have been doing secret "reverse Nazi salutes" up the backsides of cows. So, like many gestures, this one also has an explicit sexual reference as its origin. I wonder if the gesture arose from said activity being specifically popular in France. If so, we can be thankful it's not derived from Germany or Japan (shudder at what we could have got). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.64.188.96 (talk) 15:28, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
- I placed it due to sources claiming that he invented the gesture. That seemed due. Tátótát (talk) 16:01, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
It's writen here and also in the french newspaper Le Parisien. Thanks 86.218.79.168 (talk) 14:45, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
It's shown here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.64.188.96 (talk) 15:41, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
