Answer

The quenelle is a gesture popularised by French comedian Dieudonné M'bala M'bala. It involves raising one arm while pointing the other down, with the hand forming the shape of a quenelle, a type of dumpling. It has been described by the French courts as an inverted Nazi salute. Due to its association with antisemitism and far-right extremism, it has become a controversial gesture in France and other countries.
