Here is an explanation of the Quenelle. The quenelle touching a shoulder with one hand, keeping the other arm pointed downwards is said to be an inverted Nazi salute.
It seems that some famous people are doing the Quenelle. Like below:
What? Are the President, Jay z and beyonce going to say that they didn't know? Just like Beyonce didn't know that the Challenger sample wouldn't be offensive.
Here's what is going on in Europe over this crap.

Chantal Jouanno, the former sports minister and a senator in Paris, said: The quenelle is a Nazi gesture, clearly anti-Semitic and known as such. It is not worth arguing about interpretation. We must be clear about our values. He must be punished.
European Jewish Congress president Dr Moshe Kantor wants Anelka dealt with as if he had made the infamous outstretched arm salute of the Nazis.
It is sickening that such a well-known footballer would make such an abusive and hateful gesture in front of tens of thousands of spectators. We expect that the English Premier League officials as well as the police will give Anelka the appropriate punishment.

It sickens me that our President would make such an abusive and hateful gesture-period. Is he so out of touch? Or does he actually believe what he is doing?
