Principals of Jewish schools in France are urging their students to move to Israel due to the increasing amount of anti-Semitic attacks in the country, Ynet reported on Sunday.
"I think all Jews should move to Israel," Paul Fittousi, the director of Yavne School in Marseille said. "France is not our place anymore. The younger generation must do this. Two of my daughters have already moved and are learning in Be'er Sheva, and I'm encouraging my third to do the same."
It's not just the principals who feel that France isn't safe for Jews anymore - the students feel it too.
Yoav Zanuv, a student at Akiva School in Strasbourg, an area that has been particularly plagued with multiple anti-Semitic attacks lately, said that he doesn't always feel safe in France. "Because of the Muslims, there are neighborhoods you can't enter with a kippah [skullcap]," he said.
Lena Salem, a 17-year-old from Marseille, says she "hides her star of David necklace and other Jewish markers. I don't want to be the religious Jewish girl who gets attacked on the Metro or in one of bad neighborhoods. I always carry a can of pepper spray with me."

Marseilles I hear is bad to be in for everyone.
Sad if the whole country is uninhabitable. I descend from French Jews on my paternal side.
If I were in France, I’d hang my head in shame.
What the hell has gone wrong with Westerner’s ability to think logically?
What percentage of them supported the Left?
How many of them supported candidates who supported allowing massive Muslim immigration?
How about turning around and throwing the muzzies out instead?
But diversity is their strength—si vous plait.
Let France be slightly less diverse and therefore less strong. It’s not helping Jews to walk around with a bull’s-eye painted on their backs. Israel is right across the Med. Come on home.
Guilt and years of looking the other way at Muslim immigration and population explosion.
Not eager to hear the answer that I expect is true. But here we are. Europe is not a home for Jews and never has been, not in 2000 years. Time to come home.
I like French wine. I like French cheese. I don’t understand French, but I like the way it sounds. Too bad for France that they no longer have the fighting spirit necessary to defend their rich heritage.
Why did we fight WWII if this is what we get now? Why since 9/11 have things gotten worse with anti-Jewish BS?
France swapping their Jewish citizens for Moslems, whether they foresaw it or not. Will prove to be one of the dumbest and most dangerous swaps in history
So do I, but from my maternal side.
I keep getting the feeling that God is calling his people from the 4 corners of the world...to come home to tje footstool of God...Israel.
If I said or wrote that in France, I would likely end up in jail.
Islam on the rise.
The Jews have been singled out in the Koran and Hadiths as worse than the rest of us hated Infidels. -Tom
American Jews will someday face this same choice.
I’m trying to remember what group had the slogan of ‘Juden Frei’. They were somewhere close to France, right? Sounds like they are getting their wish, doesn’t it?
I agree...
Good questions.
I guess I’d have more understanding if their populace was fighting back like ours is.
There, I see no evidence of a Right wing interventionist movement, but then the media may be hiding that from us too.
