Anti-Semitism Surges Among Children of Immigrants

---

Immigrants? Why not use the term "Muslim?"

Its time for French Jews to make aliyah to Israel. They'll be safer there than in France and they won't be murdered just for being Jews.

In working-class Parisian suburbs like this one, heavily populated by North African Muslims, the word "Jew" is now a standard epithet. It appears in graffiti on middle school walls and neighborhood playgrounds and on the tongues of the young.

"It's blacks and Muslims on one side and Jews on the other," said Sebastian Daranal, a young black man standing in the parking lot of a government-subsidized housing project with two friends.

Eight Muslims beat the son of a rabbi here in March. Another Jew was attacked the next day.

In the wake of the torture and killing in February of Ilan Halimi, a 23-year-old Jew, attention has focused on an undeniable problem: anti-Semitism among France's second-generation Muslim youth, whose high jobless rate the government is trying to address with a law drawing widespread protests across the country.

Schools are the battleground over anti-Semitism, and teachers complain that the government has done little, despite many proposals.

"The minister of education has done nothing," said Jean-Pierre Obin, an inspector general of education in France, who wrote a report in 2004 that called Muslim anti-Semitism "ubiquitous" in the 61 schools surveyed. "He prefers not to talk about it."

Mr. Obin wrote in the report of "a stupefying and cruel reality: in France, Jewish children — and they are alone in this case — can no longer be educated in just any school."

Ianis Roder, 34, a history teacher in a middle school northeast of Paris, said he was stunned by what he witnessed after Sept. 11, 2001. The next day, someone spray-painted in a stairwell of the school the image of an airplane crashing into the World Trade Center beside the words "Death to the U.S., Death to Jews.".............

Fixed some of it....

...well they obviously need to raise taxes and increase government spending over there. That's the only thing that will fix the problem...

One possibility they might have overlooked... I don't think they have any pyramids in France; has anybody looked into the possibility of setting these losers to work hauling pyramid blocks?

The Jewish citizens in Europe have a choice - either lock and load and protect yourself or leave.

I don't want Americans going back to Europe again on a rescue mission.

How can all this strife take place in the enlightened socialist utopia of France? And John Kerry and the Commiecrat party want us to be more like them...

Funny how the frogs conveniently overlook their Jewish population's getting thugged while they make nice with the 'other' one that's overrunning their country.

Jeezus, they truly are cowards.

Where are the U.S. Jewish religious, corporation, communications/media and entertainment (Hollywood, New York) and political leaders while this anti-Semetic horror is going on in France?

Why aren't these usually noisy leaders speaking out loudly and clearly to the world?

Clearly, they're in a dilemna. Like the French leaders, too many of them hate Bush, hate we went into Iraq, they are anti-Christian, secular, or atheistic. They side with the Muslims and they want us to lose the war on terror. They are Dems, socialists and leftists.

These leaders are astute enough to see that another Krystal Nacht terror tactic has already begun in Paris.

These silent American Jewish leaders know very well that anti-Semitism is common among the French elite and has been ongoing.

What are they waiting for to speak out in support of their French Jewish brothers and sisters?

Or is it that it's only the few AMERICAN neo-nazi jerks who paint swastikas on walls who are the only threat to the fate of French Jews?.

I don't consider this NYTimes (owned by a Jewish family) article to be "speaking up" in defense of French Jews at all. It's so patently obvious what side this leftist fish-wrap rag is on by its censoring the word "Muslims" from the article.
