A smart move, get out while the gettings good. Just wondering though, what was the average French Jew's opinion, support, whatever on all the "enlightened" Euro-leftist diversity, inclusiveness, etc. blather while the Mohammadan hordes were taking over?
There are 600,000 Jews and over 5,000,000 Muslims in France. The Jewish population, for the most part, is productive and a threat to no one. The Muslim population is is primarily a welfare drain on the French economy which is now driving out a much smaller productive segment of the population, anti-semitic, anti-culture, and very destructive. Guess which the French government is promoting and protecting. If the US keeps buying the PC multicultural slop our leaders, like GWB are putting out about Islam, we'll be next.
How come there isn't a "Jewish Council"?

It appears that France is still under Nazi occupation.
From The New York Sun, January 17, 2003
Under the headline "Defending France's Jews," the New York Times fetched up yesterday with an editorial calling on the French government to protect its Jews. It's nice to see that there are some Jews that the Times editorialists would like to protect, since the newspaper's concern for the safety of the ones in Israel often seems somewhat attenuated. In fact, the Times editorial mentions that the surge in French anti-Semitism has led to a doubling in the number of French Jews moving to Israel. A cynic might speculate that this is the source of the Times' concern with French anti-Semitism.
What's stunning is how the Times stakes out a middle ground. "Americans and Israelis are too quick to link violence by young North African delinquents to France's Vichy past. The two have little to do with each other," the Times says, finding a way to criticize Israelis even in the context of an editorial headlined "Defending France's Jews." There's little recognition by the Times that French anti-Semitism runs deeper than merely "young North African delinquents." No mention, for instance, of the French ambassador to Britain calling Israel "that sh___ little country" at a dinner party in England. No North African youth, he. No mention, either, of the cartoon in the leftist French newspaper Liberation that, as an account in the July issue of Commentary put it, showed Prime Minister Sharon "standing next to a cross with a hammer and nails in his mouth. The caption: 'no Christmas for Arafat. But he is welcome on Easter.' " Liberation is not edited by North African youths, nor did the classical anti-Semitic image of the Jew as Christ-killer originate with North African youths.
If it were merely angry Arab youths that the French Jews sought to escape, after all, those French Jews might not be so eager to move to Israel.
