The only thing holding the FN back is their founder, Marine Le Pen’s dad, was a definite anti-Semite. So the Jews of France (and others) feel like between a rock and a hard place.

The anti-Islamization attitudes are actually significantly greater in France than what the results will show, due to many refusing to identify with a party that has a nasty past. Nontheless, whatever the result, FN is now the largest party in France, even if the Socialist-Republican (Sarkozy) temporary alliance defeats them.

It does seem pretty clear that Marine is NOT her father & completely disavows his anti semitic views. If anything, she will be the one who gives French Jews a safe (r) country. What years ago seemed an extreme candidate seems, in today’s world, the candidate of common sense.

Marine kicked him out of the party.
