Later that day, Farhi was preparing for Sabbath services when the synagogue doorbell rang. As he opened the door, he says, an attacker in a motorcycle helmet lunged forward with a knife, shouted "God is great!" in Arabic and fled.

Fearing for lives, Jews in France flee

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?

So, knighthawk, I guess most of these anti semitic incidents emanate from within the Muslim community?

But relations are tense between France's large Jewish and Muslim communities, and many fear a war in Iraq will trigger renewed violence.

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.

France Creates Muslim Council

How come there isn't a "Jewish Council"?

Damn strange. I'm currently working on a book about the French Resistance and I have recently been studying the period surrounding 'le Debacle' in June 1940. They had such news stories then, too.

Clearly, with 9/11 we have entered "a time of troubles."

It is uncanny, the extent to which, anti-semitism rises, worldwide, in such periods.

The ironic thing is that if Le Pen had his way, and moslems were kicked out of France, Jews would be a lot safer.

As the stresses of being Jewish in France multiply, some feel it safer to hide their religion.

It appears that France is still under Nazi occupation.

Defending France's Jews

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.

Sorry to say but the dogs of the Frankfurt School rabid as they are are now biting at everything good in the West or what remains of the West. Let us be honest here for decades we have heard about the Facist tendicies of whites and the faults of our civilization all in an effort to create a passive populace for the implementation of an egalitarian socialism. It worked so while Muslim firebrands target France's Jews the passive/aggressive French population at best is passive at worst they see this as just rewards for decades of hateful rhetoric or what they perceived as such. These attacks will get worse, but I don't think they will be apocolyptic, but more like the American racial and ethnic cleaning of our inner cities by angry minorities.

It's not surprising. Jew-bashing is as popular now as it ever was and even moreso. If anyone is interested in helping the Jews get out of Russia before another holocaust, you can get in touch with the Fellowship of Christians and Jews organization. It costs $350 to get one person out of Russia (and perhaps other nations?) to Israel. Sounds like something worthwhile to me.

I remember reading about an antisemitic freak here in the U.S. harrassing a Jewish family in his neighborhood after they lit up their house for the Festival of Lights. The other neighbors were furious, and all of them lit up their own homes in the same manner in support of the family.

Maybe if the French really are against these Muslim terrorists, the French could all don yarmulkes to show solid support for their Jewish citizens. That should send the authorities a message to stop futzing around and to round up the perpetrators.

With Europe's track record of decimating it's Jewish populations over the last millineum I would pack up and leave too. Israel welcomes them, sad to have to leave everything and go for such a reason.
