Anti-Semitism Sweeping France

Early this month, the French weekly magazine Le Nouvel Observateur devoted a cover article and several other articles to the phenomenon of the rising anti-Semitism in France. The magazine referred to several incidents of anti-Jewish violence during the previous weeks.

The Council of Jewish Institutions in France (CRIF) keeps track of anti-Semitic incidents. In the last decade, the number rose well above 300 incidents per year. In 2010, there were 466 incidents. In 2011, there were 389. However, 2012 will break the record. During the first five months of 2012, already 268 incidents of hatred against Jews have been reported. In certain neighborhoods of Paris, Marseille or Lyons it is no longer safe for Jews to walk the streets.

Young Jews in particular are made to suffer for their Jewishness. Le Nouvel Observateur relates how Elie M., a 12-year old Jewish Parisian, told his parents that he wants to have his name changed because he is being called "dirty Jew" at school.

    Who are the people instituting this anti-semitism on the Jews? Is the French people, or the Muslims who have emigrated to France and have now become the majority in these large cities that these incidents are happening? All of Europe now has a Muslim problem, because they are not assimulating into the societies of the countries they have emigrated to, but are trying to make their culture from whence they came as the dominant one in the country they now live, by over-populating the existing nationalities, and it is projected they will become the majority in all countries of Europe in just 10 to 15 years. Europe now admits that their multi-cultural goal has become a failure because the Muslims refuse to assimulate into their societies, but are starting thier own cultural society in the countries they now live. The same is now happening in the USA, and Dearborne, Michigan is a prime example of what is now starting in the USA.

      I don't think it was Muslims that forced the German people to kill 6 million Jews, they did it all on their own.

        No, but they certainly agreed with his policies regarding the Jews.

        The Arab Embrace of Nazism: The Nazi-Arab connection existed even when Adolf Hitler first seized power in Germany in 1933. News of the Nazi takeover was welcomed by the Arab masses with great enthusiasm, as the first congratulatory telegrams Hitler received upon being appointed Chancellor came from the German Consul in Jerusalem, followed by those from several Arab capitals. Soon afterwards, parties that imitated the National Socialists were founded in many Arab lands, like the "Hisb-el-qaumi-el-suri" (PPS) or Social Nationalist Party in Syria. Its leader, Anton Sa'ada, styled himself the Führer of the Syrian nation, and Hitler became known as "Abu Ali" (In Egypt his name was "Muhammed Haidar"). The banner of the PPS displayed the swastika on a black-white background. Later, a Lebanese branch of the PPS – which still receives its orders from Damascus – was involved in the assassination of Lebanese President Pierre Gemayel.

        No, but they most certainly would if they had the chance, ISLAM IS NOT A NON VIOLENT FANATICAL RELIGION, at least the more radical side of their people are that way, and their violent disease and the corruption within their church hierarchy is spreading like wildfire.

      • Mike

        Your statement is rather absurd since there were virtually no muslims living in Europe during the time of Nazi Germany.

        • DWoodPC

          Not true .. check your history on the origins during the great migration http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Migration_Period :

          During the early Byzantine–Arab Wars the Arab armies attempted to invade southeast Europe via Asia Minor during the late seventh and early eighth centuries, but were defeated at the siege of Constantinople by the joint forces of Byzantium and the Bulgars. During the Khazar–Arab Wars, the Khazars stopped the Arab expansion into Europe across the Caucasus. At the same time, the Moors (consisting of Arabs and Berbers) invaded Europe via Gibraltar (conquering Hispania—the Iberian Peninsula—from the Visigothic Kingdom in 711), before being halted by the Franks at the Battle of Tours in 732. These battles largely fixed the frontier between Christendom and Islam for the next millennium. The following centuries saw the Muslims successful in conquering Sicily and parts of southern Italy from the Christians." accessed 071812

          That was 1300 years ago. I studied with several in our universities, they were from Western Europe, insisted they were from France, Germany etc, those countries were their countries, born there, insisted they were NOT from the Middle East (I wondered about their dress, I thought it weird for European citizens, changed my concept of Europe, I remember that puzzled me, now it all fits this scenario of what they were "up to"), a result of open borders in Europe (their "tolerance" of all peoples), especially with the lassaiz faire of the France, and never wavering in their customs.

    France has a long history of anti-semitism witness the Alfred Dreyfus affair and the World War II Vichy government. It is sad that in France today there is none with the fortitude of Emile Zola.

    • DWoodPC

      They also have a long history of lassez faire (this #2 of the two definitions from dictionary.reference.com, quote, "the practice or doctrine of noninterference in the affairs of others, especially with reference to individual conduct or freedom of action." And this being the "slippery slope" of open borders, is what the article refers to… their waking up to have to apply the other end of the spectrum, so-called "anti-semitism," for their foolish lack of recognition of individual accountability, "non-interference" to protect the country against the nefarious elements of society.

      I wonder what my "friends" are doing about this, and all the other Americans, who disenfranchised themselves during the George Bush era, ex-patriots all, who moved to France to join the cause, to push the agenda of Barach Obama as king of the world, or as it turns out, failed puppet of the world.

      And France is what Obama would have us "look like"

      Mitt Romney is well aware of this issue. See his comments in NO APOLOGY.

  • dntmkmecomoverther

    ….it's dejavu all over again. France just doesn't learn well from ANY of its history. How do you say, 'dufus' in French?

    There is nothing more anti-chist than Islam. The anti-christ walks the earth today and is growing, bow to allah or have your head cut off.

    Intelligent people are accustomed to observing the deluded Americans whining about "anti semitism." They know not that Judaism is not a semitic society. Neither are those that call themselves "Jews", The Children of the Promise. This Talmudic Judaic cult of the synagogue of Satan did not exist until the polyglot Khazars chose themselves to become the Talmudic Judaic Internationale some 800 years AD. These Jewist motto: "By deception we shall wage war." They always disguise their actions. This is my nomenclature for the Jewist Bolshevist: The Kosher Kabal of the Bogus Bank of Credit Fraud." The same as those that Yeshua drove out of the Temple with a scourge! At that time those that would later call themselves anti-Christ "Jews" were known as the (anti-Christ) "Pharisees."

    Of course intelligent people cannot expect that deluded Americans could comprehend these facts or apprehend the relevance. Here at Zionica we can observe the deluded consistently recite the Big Lie on cue. Jews have always been expelled from civilized nations that wish to remain free. American cannot repent because American will not confess. Today France reawakens! Yes the French knew the truth about the Jewist American Communist Invasion of Europe. For this reason they resisted these murderous liars and welcomed the German Occupation as their only hope for defense. Betrayed by their domestic enemy, Charles DeGaulle, the French, like the Germans and most nations of the formerly free world, remain under Jewist American military occupation even today. American deny this reality because they too are completely subjugated by the same Talmudic Tyrant. All those that love the lie better than the truth shall be lost. Defend the Synagogue of Satan at your peril.

    Viva La France! Americans! Rise Up and Shine – Take down that evil tower! No King but King Yeshua.

      Do you completely ignore the impending destruction of the West at the hands of socialist/Marxist Islamists in despite of the socialist/Marxist Jew? It is an incontestable fact that Jews have been in the vanguard of anti-Christian communism in Asia, Europe and America, all to their own peril in that the destruction of the Christian states of the West will open the floodgates of persecution against themselves, as has been evidenced in Russia and now Europe and America. It is as if they are determined to 'cut off their nones to spite their faces' in their irrational hatred of Jesus Christ and devout Christians. But while we recognize this and always set forth the truth regardless of who it may offend, let us not imitate the irrational anti-Christian Jew in failing to defend the innocent and destroying the wicked. The far greater enemy now is anti-Christian Islamic Marxism.

    • Esther

      I am confused. Why is it that God set up the Jewish nation in Israel? Why is it that the Bible talks about God bringing the Jews back from the four corners of the earth to Israel? Why is a war to be fought between God and the people of the world in Israel? As I see it there are two kinds of people: Jew and Gentile, slave and free, lost and found, those going to heaven and those going to hell. What you say is what I have heard from another and I am very confused.

    • DWoodPC

      Reinhold: You are going to have to clarify your points b/c I have no idea what you are talking about. (I could rant on about things you wouldn't understand too) Please, if you will. America is an isolated nations of sorts, deluded may seem like a good term to describe us, but its not that we don't want to know. Americans are not Europeans though many of us have origins there, but most of us have not experienced what "necessity is the mother of invention" implies when it comes to problems (for example war) as they have on native ground. Please define the necessity of what we should "do" more explicitly. Take heart, we are vigilant! Thank you for your comment.

    Why must my comment be approved by site admins before it will appear publicly? Zonica, you need to put a halt to this foolishness.

  • Evermyrtle

    GOD'S word says that all nation will hate Israel in the end days, the end days are. This hatred is totally irrational. There is only one way that I know to make you instantly hated, admit to being a Jew.

    • Ron Thompson

      Evermyrtle, it goes back farther than 1942. God place a curse on the Jews and Palestinians (found in the old testament). To paraphrase the curse: the Jews would be tormented forever, and Palestinians would never have a land of their own. As history shows there is no peace the hatred of the Jews and the Palestinians have never had a land of their own. In fact, they are not like by the average middle-eastern countries and continually are moving.

  • Ron Thompson

    Who is really surprised at this? With a huge population of Muslims, a socialist government it's going to happen. There is no turning back for France, if they wanted to!

  • Old Kute

    What can you expect as France is now over run with Islamic immigrants. In the 30' it was the Natzis, Today it is the Neo Natzis and Muslams that are spreading hate for the Jews. America will not be far behind if we keep letting our boarders be open to the illegal immigration from the south. There is much evidence that many Muslams are going into Latin America, learning Spanish and living like Hispanics then coming into the US illegally. Cities with large Islamic populations, like Dearborn, MI, are bring run by governments controled by Muslams. The City of Dearborn has, for the past two years, been guilty of denying 1st Amendment, rights of free speech, free exercise of Religion, The right to peacefully assemble, and 14th Amendment right to equal protection to Christians. A close look at Scriptures (Bible) shows us that this is to be expected the closer we get to the "Great Tribulation" and the Second Coming of Christ.
