Angry protesters retort, however, that they are deliberately offering ham sandwiches and soup made of pork to discriminate against Muslims and Jews who cannot eat the meat for religious reasons.

I love how they throw in the Jews, even though I'm sure not a single Jew complained about these soup kitchens.

It's specifically ALLOWED in Jewish law to accept non kosher meals when one is accepting food for bare sustenance. This is corollary of one of the mitzahs of the Torah.

The French authorities are taking Anti-Semetic actions and making anti-Semitic public statements in supposed defense of the Jewish population.

The British Telegraph news is repeating anti-Semetic statements from public officials in France, they made no attempt to inquire with a Rabbi to see if this was or was not part of Jewish law? Any Rabbi in France or England will recite the line and verse describing a story that reinforces that sustaining of life is the most important mitzah, dietary law falls to the side. (You can make the argument that in a 1st world society like France, one should never be at the point where a homeless person has to make the decision between sustenance and dietary law). But we're talking about homeless Jewish French citizens...

The Union of Islamic Organisations of France is stating they're of similar disposition on the arrangement as clearly stated Jewish law.

The French authorities are taking Anti-Muslim actions and making anti-Muslim public statements in supposed defense of the Muslim population.

The Jews probably wouldn't be in the line either way. They're not known in any country IMO to be waiting for charity.
