France has a long and ugly history of anti-semitism. The climate for Jews in France has gotten increasingly bad in the past ten years and I suspect that, just as many attacks are not reported for fear of further incitement, some French Jews may be speaking out against Israel's public urging that they leave for fear of a more antagonistic social climate from the French public. Based on a recent stabbing attack on a yeshiva student during which the vermin attacker yelled "allah ackbar" it's not hard to see that the ever grown Muslim population in France is getting the upper hand.

What's wrong with the head of the Jewish state fulfilling his responsibilities?

Is he supposed to refrain from encouraging members of the Jewish diaspora to make aliyah?

That would be a very odd position to take, if you ask me.

I think they should leave France. The French are no friends of the Jews, and they will never manage their overburdening fanatical Muslim problem.

Rather than have Christians (and Jews) leave, I would encourage a 'Reconquest' of France, along the lines of the Spanish 'Reconquista' from the Moors that had invaded it in A.D. 711! We would all join in 'Onward Christian Soldiers' and the like, and fight them back all the way to their caliphate in Bagdad! I'm sure this time Sharon and his fellow-Israelis would gladly join us!

Of course not, I'm not saying such a thing. But the fact is his wording offended the very people he was trying to convince to emigrate.
