A Cautionary Tale by European Jews

Thanks go to Peggy for this great find.

There are only 400,000 Jews in France and they’re outnumbered by Arabs and Muslims by perhaps 15 to 1 or more. French law prohibits identifying citizens by ethnic background.

There have been close to 8,000 anti-Semitic incidents in France since 2000 – and each time Israel acts in self-defense against the Palestinians, the danger increases.

French Muslims have staged large and more violent demonstrations, including one a few weeks ago in which 200 Jews were trapped inside a synagogue.

Rabbi Michaël Azoulay, the head of CRIF, France’s national Jewish association, said the threat to Jews has become “unbearable.”

“Jews are being insulted and threatened not only by Muslims, but also by members of the far right and from leftists who hate Israel,” the Jewish father told CBN News.”
