American Jewish Committee: Good for France, Bad for the Jews
Marie Claude,
no I will not be happy when all the Jews have left France, and I know exactly what I am talking about, because I am a French Jew of Moroccan descent, born and raised in France.
I have left France in 2002, because I felt that France, my country, had betrayed me and I was feeling more and more uncomfortable raising my three little kids there.
France is not a safe place for Jews to live anymore, because it has betrayed its Jews by not wanting to acknowledge the rising anti-semitism, that has become so strong that it led to horrific acts of pure anti-semitic hatred like the murder after 21 days of torture of Ilan Halimi, just because he was a Jew.
The French governments do not want to recognize anti-semitism for what it is, and prefer to refer to it as simple “neighborhood violence” that just (by chance) happens to be directed to Jews.
So no I am not happy that Jews are leaving France in droves to emigrate either to Israel or to the US.
I will be happy when the Jews come back to France because it has become a safe country to live in like it was 30 years ago, when the shame of WWII had made anti-semitism unacceptable.
Right now the French political class has chosen the 8 million muslims over the 500 000 Jews, who can blame them, do the math! And thus, the muslims are unchecked in their anti-semitism, and feel emboldened to act against the Jews.
In the meantime, the French Jews, who have voted for Sarkozy for the most part, are more and more disappointed by his position on anti-semitism in France, and by his position towards Israel. Still despite this disappointment, Sarkozy is just the lesser of two evils.
He is however only continuing the “politique arabe de la France” that De Gaulle initiated against “ce peuple fier et dominateur”, so nobody should be surprised about it.
France needs its oil, and has a massive muslim immigration, so they have to bow to the Emirs.
What is surprising is to see that there still are some Jews, that for their personal benefit, are ready to serve as his “alibi”, and thus are putting other Jews in danger.
Those will meet the fate they deserve, like all the turn-coats of history have.
