ANTI-SEMITISIM GROWING IN FRANCE
Filed Under NEWS OF INTEREST, RELIGIOUSComments Off
The mainstream media continues to drop the ball. “News” by definition should include at least a synopsis of what is happening in our world. As a case in point, while the media did cover the Muslim riots in France, as soon as things quieted down their tenuous focus shifted elsewhere. In 2003 a poll found that 25% of Jews living in France were actively considering emigration, citing a growing Anti-Semitism as their motive. The situation has changed somewhat. Consider the following recent comments from a Jew living in France.”InLyon, a car was rammed into a synagogue and set on fire. In Montpellier, the Jewish religious center was firebombed; so were synagogues in Strasbourg and Marseilles; so was a Jewish school in Creteil – all recently. “A Jewish sports club in Toulouse was attacked with Molotov cocktails, and on the statue of Alfred Dreyfus inParis , the words “Dirty Jew” were painted.”In Bondy, 15 men beat up members of a Jewish football team with sticks and metal bars.
“The bus that takes Jewish children to school in Aubervilliers has been attacked three times in the last 14 months.”According to the Police, metropolitan Paris has seen 10 to 12 anti-Jewish incidents PER DAY in the past 30 days.”Walls in Jewish neighborhoods have been defaced with slogans proclaiming “Jews to the gas chambers” and “Death to the Jews.” “A gunman opened fire on a kosher butcher’s shop (and, of course, the butcher) in Toulouse, France; a Jewish couple in their 20s were beaten up by five men in Villeurbanne, France. The woman was pregnant; a Jewish school was broken into and vandalized inSarcelles, France. This was just in the past week.”
