Darkness again falls on Europe: Jews fleeing France: Exodus up 400% in First Quarter of 2014
American Thinker ^ | 05/13/2014 | Thomas Lifson

The number of Jews leaving France for Israel is up 400% in the first quarter of 2014, according to AFP. The largest remnant of Jews in Europe surviving the Holocaust is now under a new threat, one that echoes the last century’s, but with new faces and names.

The Jewish Agency for Israel, a global body responsible for the immigration and absorption of Jews into Israel, said 1,407 people left France for Israel between January and March against 353 people a year earlier.

"This phenomenon is speeding up" said Ariel Kandel, the head of the Jewish Agency's French chapter. (snip)

Kandel told AFP that the reasons for the hike in numbers were a "climate of anti-Semitism" and the prevailing gloomy economic situation in France.

The French news agency’s story does not mention the words “Muslim” or “immigrant,” but the anti-Semitism that matters today in France is far different from the imported Nazi variety or the traditional French disdain that ensnared Col. Dreyfuss.  Muslims, immigrants and their French-born children, principally from North Africa, are attacking Jews on the streets and making life unpleasant for anyone identifiably Jewish.

While France stagnates, weighed down by a welfare state and income taxes as high as 75%, Israel is booming, with a vibrant high technology economy. But it is almost certainly the violence and harassment that is driving French Jews out.

Q: How many Frenchmen does it take to defend Paris from invasion?

A: No one knows, it’s never been tried before.

Whoever screws with the Jews faces the wrath of Yahweh - they all got it in the end - all the tyrants of History -Pharoahs, Babylonians, Assyrians, Hellenistic Greeks, Romans, Hitler, Stalinists, and the same will be true of these snakes in Europe and the Muslims.

I hope I live long enough to watch.

I wonder how much longer Israel will be a safe haven for Jews, especially when the US President doesn’t give a damn.

It’s actually good that they are leaving...because in the near future, the French are going to wake up and turn on the Muslims, and the Jews left in France will get caught up on the mess. It won’t be pretty.

France would be much better off keeping the Jews.

I don't get the French animosity against Jews, it's Muslim Yutes and (supposedly) right-wing skinhead types doing the street riots, rapes and robberies, not Jews.

“because in the near future, the French are going to wake up and turn on the Muslims...”

I pray that you are right, as horrible as this conflict might be.

If history is any indication it seems more likely to me that one day in the near future the French will wake up as oppressed minorities in an Islamic state.

Double darkness....Europe is falling into their normal whatever state...and this time they’ve got an additional infection of Muslims.

I’ve got a great idea...we take all the Jews (er...make that all the conservative Jews)...and Europe gets the Muslims and the lib Jews.

Better for us...and much much worse for them.
