Exodus of French Jews expected (Jewish Agency to assist in the rescue of thousands of French Jews)

Jerusalem - The Jewish Agency is bracing itself for the immigration of tens of thousands French Jews into Israel as a result of a growing anti-Semitism in France, a spokesperson for the organisation said on Sunday.

Senior government officials including Immigration Absorption Minister Tzippi Livni, cabinet director Ilan Cohen and the president of the quasi-governmental Jewish Agency, Sallai Meridor, met last week "to work out how to come to the help of potential Jewish immigrants from France", Yaden Vatikai told AFP.

Vatikai said that a report compiled by the agency had found 30 000 out of France's 575 000-strong Jewish community were considering immigrating to Israel.

"We are multiplying our efforts to encourage in this case, particularly with an information campaign," he said.

Jews living in France say that they are victims of a growing tide of anti-Semitic crime.

French Justice Minister Dominique Perben said last week that 180 anti-Jewish acts had been recorded so far this year, including cases of assault, arson and verbal insults.

His ministry said no comparison was available with previous years because this was the first time that anti-Jewish acts were being recorded in such detail.

Vatikai said the situation for French Jews was becoming increasingly "difficult".

Exodus of French Jews expected
I just have to add one more thought: This is a he!! of a thing to have happen in this day and age-- especially in a supposedly "civilized" nation.

"Yeah, because we all know there aren't any Americans who might be employable, such that this suggestion to discriminate on the basis of religion and national origin is justifiable."

They are a hugely successful and talented people. I would imagine they would create far more prosperity than they would take. In recent years, American Jews have founded companies like Dell, Intel, Cisco and Oracle. If French Jews could only do half as well, the U.S. would be getting quite some deal.

Ah, the Chirac legacy. Yessir, he'll rank right up there with Marshal Petain in the hearts of Frenchmen.

IMHO, they would create jobs here, which is their forte, Morte.

Creating jobs is not what the original poster was suggesting. I'm all for allowing people with capital into the country to start businesses, but the suggestion was to give them special treatment in terms of employment. One makes sense, the other is simple discrimination.

All 575,000 Jews must be out of France by the end of this decade. The combination of leftist anti-semitism and Islamic hatred will make it impossible to be a Jew inside of France by then. I'm glad they have started to wake up and get out.

With so many Jews in the exile having to flee for their lives again, does it really make sense for Sharon to be making portions of the ancient Biblical Jeiwsh homeland judenrein?

Something tells me the Jews of the world are going to need every square inch of the Biblical Homeland soon. Sharon and all the secular Zionists, as well as the peaceniks, had better think long and hard about this.

Israel is as, if not more, socialist than France.

Likewise, though I advocate English independence myself.

"These are not historical posts.
This is today."

Yes, it is bad, very bad, and likely to get worse. I was reading something about Anne Frank the other day, and learned that her family went to Holland from another country (oh, now I can't remember which one, maybe Austria? Frank is a pretty German name) and thought they would be safe there. Look what happened to them!

I feel that this growing anti-semitism is a very, very bad sign for us all. And evidently some Saudis have already decided to just kill westerners where ever and when ever they find them.

All in all, not good. Still so far, not too much Islamoviolence in the USA, could the terrorists really fear Ashcroft as much as the lefties seem to? Or is this just the calm before the storm?

I agree. What a great propaganda coup and humanitarian gesture if President Bush offered the Jews of France asylum in the U.S.A.

FDR refused admittance to European Jews during the Hitler years. After the war, many of the survivors came to America and brought with them wonderful talents. Music, art, science, education all greatly benefited.

Take it how you want, but let me set the condition for their acceptance. First priority is that they drop the Leftist politics of hating Western Civ and Christianity if they for some stupid reason imbibed that poisonous ideology. We need more Alan Dershowitz Democrats like we need Bubonic Plague, not at all.

Socialism is not a part of this discussion. Anti-semitism in a supposedly civilized nation is.

Yup, the French should pay their Jewish citizens to stay after all they are the last buffer between the Moslimes and the non Jewish, non Moslime citizenry.
Good luck to the Jewish immigrants where ever they go. The remaining French will live to regret their leaving.

What a disgrace for france! They can't protect their own citizens and they have to flee for their lives to a safe haven in Israel.

Refugees from persecution....in france.

It would be a mistake to be the last to leave. The Moslems, now at least 10 percent (and maybe already as high as 20 percent) of the French population are breeding like rabbits. After they finish off the Jews they'll go after the Christians next.

Brace for a fleet of "747's of the Damned" coming our way.
