<p><a href="https://punchingbagpost.com/french-jews-flee-country-due-to-growing-anti-semitism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>As we wrote in June</strong></a>, Anti-Semitism is growing with surprising alacrity in France &#8211; where Jews face vandalism, threats, and terrorist attacks.</p>
<p>Early last year, a rabbi in Marseilles was attacked and murdered by an ISIS operative.</p>
<p>France is home to more Jews than anywhere else in Europe &ndash; but it&rsquo;s also home to the most Muslims. The Syrian migrant crisis has boosted France&rsquo;s Muslim population, which in turn is starting to overpower the Jewish population.  ;</p>
<p>In 2015, more than 8,000 Jews left their homes in France to move to Israel. This is a huge increase compared to 2011, when only 1,900 Jews moved from France to Israel. ;</p>
<p>According to Jacques Canet of the Great Synagogue of Paris, France&rsquo;s population of between 500,000 and 600,000 Jews feels increasingly threatened. ;</p>
<p>According to a recent poll, more than 40% of Jews currently living in France ;are thinking ;about moving to Israel; 51% report having felt ;&ldquo;threatened.&rdquo; ;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Increasingly, Jews in Paris, Marseilles, Toulouse, and Sarcelles feel they can&rsquo;t safely wear a kippah outside their homes or send their children to public schools, where Muslim children bully Jewish children,&rdquo; said Canet.</p>
<p><strong>Editor&#8217;s note:</strong> This is a sad state of affairs, a problem you don&#8217;t hear much about. Europe prides itself on ;its fairness towards its Islamic population, but the cost of that fairness is certainly borne unevenly.</p>
