Researchers have found that an unusually large number Jewish families in France are discussing the possibility of moving to Israel due to the terrible anti-Semitism they have been experiencing and the lack of a firm response from the French authorities, says a leading Jewish communal figure.
World Israel News Representative Council of French Jewish Institutions (CRIF) Executive Director Robert Ejnes blamed the Swords of Iron war for the sharp deterioration in the Jewish community’s sense of safety.
“There is a very strong rise in antisemitism since October 7 [2023],” Ejnes said. “The extreme left has made Gaza a major political argument in their campaigns. And they’re really pushing for the hate of Israel — and by the way, the hate of the Jews.”
“Wherever they live, I guess, the Jewish population is feeling insecure today in the French environment,” he said, noting that as a result, “I don’t know a family that is not speaking about it now,” referring to emigration to the Jewish state.
France is home to the largest Jewish community in Europe, with about half a million Jews. However, it also has a population of around 6 to 7 million Muslims, roughly 10% of the population. As in other Western countries, individuals from Muslim immigrant backgrounds have been disproportionately involved in antisemitic incidents—especially the more violent or high-profile ones.
Many have condemned the French government for playing a role in the rise of anti-Jewish hatred, due most recently to President Emmanuel Macron’s July declaration that France will recognize a Palestinian state at the UN General Assembly next month.
Ejnes noted that when Macron first mentioned the possibility three months ago, he attached conditions such as the release of the 50 hostages Hamas is still holding captive, that Hamas would have no future role in governing Palestinians, and that the incipient state should be demilitarized.
No such prerequisites were included when the final decision was made, however, “and this is what we’re mad at,” Ejnes said. “Because it’s not normal, and we cannot understand the reason he would … recognize the state of Palestine without conditions.”
As the foremost representatives of the Jewish community, CRIF’s leaders had spoken to Macron directly about it, “but he wouldn’t budge from this position.”
KEY FINDINGS of the 2024 EDITION ON ANTI-SEMITISM IN FRANCE
1. The survey confirms a feeling of loneliness among French people of the Jewish faith following the events of October 7 and the impact they had in France. 80% of respondents expressed such a feeling, and more than half (53%) felt it strongly.
2. Similarly, 86% of Jews say that “since the October 7 attack in Israel,” they fear being the victim of an anti- Semitic act.
3. 25% of French people of the Jewish faith report having been the victim of an anti-Semitic act, with 12% experiencing it “several times.”
4. We observe a reaffirmation of identity: 71% of French people of the Jewish faith say that the attack on October 7, 2023, reinforced their “Jewish identity.”
5. 29% of respondents who say they are close to La France Insoumise (LFI) believe that “the creation of Israel is the result of a racist endeavor,” compared with 16% of French people overall.
6. Three-quarters (76%) of French people believe that anti-Semitism is “widespread in France,” up 12 points from 2022.
7. More than half (52%) of French people think that Jews are “the ethnic or religious group most widely victimized by violent acts in France.” In contrast, 34% of 18-24-year-olds place Muslims ahead of Jews (27%) as “the ethnic or religious group most widely victimized by violent acts in France.”
8. Three-quarters (76%) of French people think that “anti-Semitism is a problem that concerns society as a whole,” compared with 9% who say that “anti-Semitism is a problem that concerns only Jews and does not concern society as a whole.”
9. More than a third (36%) of French people feel that not enough is being said about the problem of anti-Semitism, an increase of 10 points from 2022.
10. 40% of those under 35 believe that Israel behaves toward the Palestinians as the Nazis behaved toward the Jews, compared with 32% of French people overall. This figure rises to 67% among French people of Muslim faith and 65% among French people of Muslim faith under 35.
11. Among those under 35, 29% believe that “the creation of Israel is the result of a racist endeavor,” compared with 16% of French people overall and 12% of those aged 65 or over. This figure rises to 45% among French people of Muslim faith and 46% among French people of Muslim faith under 35.
12. The terrorist organization Hamas attracts the sympathy of 6% of French respondents, rising to 14% among the under-35s, 22% among French people of Muslim faith, and 27% among French people of Muslim faith under 35.
13. For 6% of those under 35, the Holocaust is considered an invention, compared with 2% of the general population and 0% of those aged 65 and over.
Not only france has this problem but all of europe then it has and is importing exactly these kind of problems into it and it wants more and anyone against this is a nazi and rightwing extremist. to name the problem is nazi to want your rights is nazi, to want all for germany is nazi and will be judged like mr. Höcke, all he said was all for germany and he saw a judge and now he is a 100% proven nazi. you see how its done. no people all Jews and supporters must leave these nations soon then they are against us and this time there will be no mistake like the last one were the Jew thought that he was safe because he fought for germany in the first war. no we are not wanted.

Merci beaucoup Mon Ami. Au revoir!
I’m glad you’re excited that the Jews are leaving Francistan Farshad, funny how the moslame invasion of Fwance doesn’t seem to bother you though or the various acts of moslame terrorism committed there.
Ain’t in France, ain’t a Muslim and I ain’t no Jew. Why should I give a fuck? Can you provide a reason? No, then STFU.
Nobody needs to push your buttons, you ARE the button. Grow up man.
Gee Farshad, the only time you comment on France is to wish the Jews of France bon voyage, but you never mention the acts of moslame terrorism committed there by your fellow f’ing moslame vermin to gentiles OR Jews.
ESAD Farshad — preferably back in whatever sh!ttystan spawned you.

In ostereich, the people fight against the invasion of their Homeland.
Islam is 21st Century Naziism
Or maybe
Naziism was 20th Century Islam
Well, the Grand Mufti and Hitler were in cahoots back in the day.
I’ve read the Grand Mufti may have been behind the assassination of King Abdullah of Jordan (King Hussein’s father) at the Al Aqsa mosquetrosity because he wanted peace w/Israel and because he annexed the West Bank (which the Mufti wanted for his independent Paleswine state):

Entirely possible.
Bonni throughout history the socialist has allways been with the islamist..allways and yes the grand mufti was a personal friend of shitler and yes the mudslime fought for shitler and his reich. today we have the same only the names like reich are obsolite and the new ones like our democracy are in. what our democracy is you can read in the American news and yes its all true and as in the past that is what i have written then logic and sighns are to be noticed and seen.
It’s even worse in Norway with a hamas supporting goverment. Jews in Norway are afraid for their lives due to the hate the norwegien people has against Israel and the jews.
Gee, I’ve never seen that from Norway. Do you have any links about it?
Please note that French non-jewish and Christian families are moving to Israël to permanently settle. It happens more and more and I don’t need to tell you why …
I keep seeing videos of Paris where you no longer see any white people at all roaming the streets.
You can see videos like that allover europes big cities then the europeans have lost the majority in them..all of them. at this time they are busy with the filling of the landside and after this we have no majority anymore and the birthrate skyrockets because the german goes to work for them so that they can afford up to 20 children and 4 wives,and the working german…well he cant afford to have any children then he is busy working and paying for the others. that is why the mudslime runs to us instead of to his brothers a few miles away.
Christians are allowed to immigrate to Israel?
They can, but aren’t given citizenship right away.
thats good enough for me and right from the state to do so.
Now Israel is going to be flooded w/Christians. I wonder what Yeshua of Nazareth would think of that, although he did preach to gentiles.
I wonder if Bonnie herself (or her husband) even like that idea.
Christians are welcome in Israel. The only persecution they face there is from the Palestinians. I’d personally would like to see
Christians replace all the Muslims in Israel.
That would be good. I’d like to see that. I suppose Christians could offset the votes of the moslames already in Israel as well.
Did you know the Yom Kippur War had SIX moslame countries attacking Israel: “moderate” Morocco, Iraq, Soddy Barbaria, Syria, Egypt, “moderate” Jordan. They found destroyed Soddy Barbarian AML armored cars up by the Golan Hts. Soddy Barbaria was the only combatant country to use the French manufactured AML armored cars. The only moslame states to field significant military forces though were Syria, Iraq, Jordan and Egypt. Israel spanked them allah.
Of course.
What a blessing for Israel. Will they get their hooks out of the government now?
What hooks in which government? Or are you one of those Jew haters who think the Jews control every government?
The moslames are taking over Western Europe and an in-bred Ahmed like you tries to blame the Jews? Bwahahahahahahahahaahahah, what an allahtard.
yup thats how it works just say the others are doing it and like the right network or so and then to do it yourself . dont forget that you need the support from the government and the media, when you have these two the nwo, and ngos will also support you and then you can do the crime forever then all you have to do or say is that the bad bad right is doing this. do the crime and blame the others thats the new europe here.
It used to be said that Turkey was the “sick man of Europe” ( learned that from my Turkish prof. at UCLA [spit]), but now I guess all of western Europe has the sickness.
