In a Facebook post from March 2014, she used a swear word to describe Jews before adding: "I hate them so much."
As news of her antisemitic rants spread online Ms Belkhiri deleted all her social media accounts.
But she then returned to Twitter to justify her remarks.
She wrote "My opinion many years ago was meant on the Zionist back then, that spread hate instead of love so to all the other Jews peace be upon you!"
Ms Belkhiri told BBC Trending she wanted to stage the photo not as “a protest at all” but to “share joy and peace."
The 22-year-old added she wanted "to show that things can be different. And that we can live together, not next to each other but with each other".
