Jews Flee France for Safe Haven Of Israel

Spread the love

Loading

Although the recent attack on a Jewish school in Toulouse, France, by a Muslim terrorist was a tragedy of immense proportions, it was not completely unforeseen.

Jews in France have long been facing hostilities from Arab immigrants in that country, and they have likewise long been looking for residences outside of France to which they can flee if the persecution becomes any worse.

It’s already “unbearable” on a day-to-day basis, according to one French Jew who prefers to keep her name a secret. She told Spiegel magazine that life in France has gotten rough for Jews: “Children are harassed on their way to school just because they’re Jews. [And once, when] I was wearing a necklace with a Star of David attached to it, someone barged into me. I said to him: ‘You ought to excuse yourself!’ All he said was that he didn’t apologize to Jews.”

In the midst of these rising tensions, French Jews are looking to Israel as a safe haven, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is quite pleased. He understands that “Israel was set up as a haven for Jews from just such threats.”

Netanyahu described the agony he felt in response the attack on the Jewish school in Toulouse: “I saw the depth of the grief and pain of a young mother who [was] feeding a baby, who lost her husband and two of her little children, the agony of life cut short and hope which was crushed… Those kids were our kids. They were French kids and also Israeli kids.”

This exodus has been gaining speed for some time now.
Ilan Halimi (Hebrew: אילן חלימי‎) was a young French Jewish man kidnapped on 21 January 2006.
Not only were 27 Muslims implicated in the crime of torture, kidnapping and murder in 2009, but 24 of their convictions were upheld on appeal in December 2010.

On 20 January, Halimi was lured by an attractive seventeen year old girl named Yalda, of French-Iranian origin, to an apartment block in the Parisian banlieues. (suburb neighborhoods)
There Halimi was overwhelmed by a youth gang and kept prisoner for twenty-four days.
Halimi was initially guarded by four teenagers who were promised €5,000. During the three-week period, his kidnappers, at least 19 of them, tortured him by beating him all over his body, especially his testicles, completely wrapping his head in duct tape, except for his mouth, so he could breathe and eat through a straw, stabbing him, burning his body and face with lighters and cigarettes, sodomizing him with broom sticks and breaking his fingers. They urinated on him, kept him naked, scratched him, cut him with knives, and finally poured gasoline on him and set him on fire. Reportedly, neighbors came by to watch and to even participate in the torture but no one called the authorities.

His family and many other poor and working-class Jews inhabited the same lower-class banlieue (neighborhood) as the attackers.

Since then over 10,000 Jews (on average) have left France per month!

Great… sounds like the 1920’s and 30’s all over again. >_>

Some will leave, some won’t. Those who prefer to live in a religious state (Israel) are simply acting on their right of choice.

The irony is that Israel’s demographics are even worse than France’s, in terms of percentage population that is Arab/Muslim. I’m not even sure that it’s safer (on average) to be Jewish in Israel than it is to be Jewish in France. But I can still understand leaving for Israel – at least there you know the government is on your side, whereas in France that can change. Not slamming Sarkozy, I think he’s OK on culture and immigration, but it’s very possible that the French could elect a leftist and closet anti-semite in future.

Although this article emphasizes Israel, Jews from France have been dividing their choice of new home between Israel, Canada, the USA and Australia/New Zealand according to older articles about this growing exodus.
In polls of Arab-Israelis, they would rather live in Israel than in any other existing or even imagined Arab country!
Since Israel is the only Middle Eastern nation where homosexuality is legal, many gay Muslims have escaped from their country-of-origin and gotten into Israel.

I don’t think the Jews in France should have to flee…and it is Frances fault for tolerating this type of harassment to its citizens…

“Jews in France have long been facing hostilities from Arab “immigrants” in that country…”

It makes me wonder why there are “Arab immigrants” in France?

Everyone has a reason for leaving their homeland for another….how [why] did “these” immigrants relocate to France to begin with? Were ‘they’ themselves trying to escape from something?

If so, why would they even think of harassing Jews to this point, unless there is ulterior motives involved….it makes me wonder when is this sort of thing going to hit America…American Jews? And Christians…

@FAITH7:
Faith, the French situation was demographic cultural suicide.
The ethnic French were having too few children.
To try to create a tax base for the older ethnic French, and to have enough workers to support their needs as they aged, the French invited a whole bunch of their own ex-colonial peoples in.
Many of them were Muslims.
Too bad for the French these imports quickly saw what a gravy train looked like and climbed aboard.
Now the ethnic French are in double trouble.
They have a dwindling tax base AND they suffer from a racism divide.

HI,
THIS IS TERRIBLE, HOW COME WE SAW THAT COMING WITH THE MUSLIM IMMIGRANT ALL OVER THE FREE WORLD, AND THE LEADERS OF ALL THOSE COUNTRIES INCLUDING THE AMERCAS AND ALSO THE SOUTH AMERICA COUNTRIES DID NOT FORSEEN IT BEFORE OPENING THEIR BORDERS OR BEFORE ALLOWING THE MANY SANCTUARYS TO SMUGLE THE MUSLIM IN HELP BY CHURCH ALSO,
ON THE NAME OF COMPASSION WHICH NOW IS NOT A COMPASSIONATE ACTION TO IMPOSE IT ON THE LOCAL CITIZENS OF GOOD WILL, WHO ARE NOW TREATHEN AND INTIMIDATE AND MISERABLE
TO SEE THE COUNTRIES CHANGE BEFORE THEIR EYES,
IT REMIND ME OF SOME WORDS FROM MATA
FIRST THEY CAME FOR THE JEWS, AND I DID NOT SAY
ANYTHING, BECAUSE I WAS NOT A JEW, AND THEY…………
………………………………………………………….AND THERE WAS NO ONE TO SPEAK FOR ME
