The number of new faces seen every Shabbat in the synagogues of England, rose sharply in 2012, as French Jews are escaping a surge of anti Jewish attacks, according to press reports in the United Kingdom.

The number of French Jews crossing the Channel to find a safe haven in the U.K. has increased as figures released this week showed a 58 percent increase in anti-Semitic incidents in France for 2012.

Last week, the Chief Rabbi of the U.K., Lord Sacks, warned: "the position of the Jews in Europe today is very difficult. There are threats now to ritual circumcision and ritual slaughter. Jews in Europe have begun to ask, is there a place for us in Europe?"

Bien sur, au revoir.

What? The French Jews had a Jewish President not long ago, did he not do anything to protect them?

Sarkozy was not a Jew, but an agnostic former Catholic of Jewish descent. And even if this Eurabia collaborator and created of the Mediterranean Union had given a damn about French Jews, his partial Jewish background would have been a hindrance. But of course, he didn't especially care about Jews. Your assumption is based on a common misunderstanding. Special Jews and those of JEwish descent operating in an antisemetic milieu went along with the antisemitism in Europe. Some were victims of a Stockholm syndrome. Others understood that their position and advancement were predicated on apologizing for anti=-Jewish activity or simply transcending their Judaism towards a greater order.

Thanks for the info on Sarkozy. So his Father was a Jew who converted to RC to marry. I find the Special Jew info interesting.
