French PM: We're facing a new form of anti-Semitism
Arutz Sheva ^ | 2/1/18 | Elad Benari

French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe warned on Wednesday his country is facing a “new form of anti-Semitism” marked by violence, The Associated Press reported.

His comments came following an assault this week in a Paris suburb on an eight-year-old boy wearing a kippah.

The boy was walking to a tutor on Tuesday afternoon in the Sarcelles suburb of Paris when two assailants, about 15 years old, knocked him to the ground and beat him.

It is the second attack on a Jewish child in the same area this month. On January 10, a 15-year-old Jewish girl was slashed in the face while walking home from school, wearing the uniform of her Jewish private school.

Speaking Wednesday before lawmakers, Philippe noted the emergence of a new kind of anti-Semitism in France, which has the largest Jewish population in western Europe.

To fight something, one must have “the courage to put a name on it ... to acknowledge that, yes, there is a new form of anti-Semitism, violent and brutal, emerging more and more openly in our land,” Philippe said, according to AP.

Sorry, Monsieur Phillipe. Violent anti-Semitism is hardly new, and this incident is a relatively tame one. You just don't see many Jews getting beat up over a kippa, because most choose to wear toupees, baseball hats or berets, or go bareheaded to avoid being assaulted on the street. An eight-year-old boy in his own neighborhood would be understandably naive, but now he knows better. Perhaps it's time you realized how long-standing the problem is, too. This is nothing new. So do something about it already, instead of tweeting how brave you're being by putting a name to it.

thanks to the French fellow for his apparent concern. but talk is not the remedy.
France has had tons of anti=Semitism for centuries....
and since the French ruling elite have sold the entire country, really, out to the IslamoNazi invaders now...
more and more anti-Christian and anti-Jewish violent attacks are not only predictable, they’re a certainty.

as Charles Martel rolls over fitfully (and most sadly) in his grave, the entire French people need to start looking for other, safer places to live.....alas.

Twenty years ago I was visiting a fellow American’s apartment in downtown Paris. He was from Texas.

He told those of us who were present, that his current concern was that his apartment was just above a synagogue which was under a threat of being fire-bombed.

So the French Jewish community has been living with this problem for a long time.

Well, he didn’t really put a name to it, did he? Unless he did and AP forgot to mention it.

The NEW antisemitism is from the French politicians
who have done nothing, nothing, and of course, nothing.

I wonder how many French Jews vote to support the mass import of 3rd world muslims?

“French PM: We’re facing a new form of anti-Semitism”

No, you don’t say Macaroni. Just because you are overrun with the most virulent anti semites in the world.

Probably like here...it’s a universal mental illness.

It’s been this way for Jews exactly in proportion to their Muslim population in France.

It isnt safe to be Jewish in France.

They shouldn’t worry. History proves there won’t be any Jews or Christians to be abused after Islam takes root. Problem solved. It just takes a few years.

Always a laugh with the Frenchies. 78 years ago they said “We’re facing a new kind of warfare!’’.

Let them just have such a big chunk of Europe, and there will be no safe place anywhere for anyone.

The EU ruling elite has already been giving the Islamic invaders more than that third of Europe. The Moslem conquering is far along ( alas!). Please Pray for the many good people in Italy, Germany, France, UK, Belgium, etc.
