(from New York Times 3-30-18)
"Jews represent less than 1 percent of the population in France, yet in 2014, 51 percent of all racist attacks were carried out against them, according to the French Interior Ministry."
Just last month an 85-year-old Jewish widow was stabbed to death and her apartment set on fire. Last year in the same neighborhood, another Jewish widow was beaten to death by a neighbor screaming "Allahu Akbar."
Former French President Hollande and current President Macron have denounced anti-semitism and asked French Jews to remain in France, though Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has invited European Jews to come there.
Attempts to instill French tolerance in school classrooms haven't had much success among immigrant Islamists.
“These young people have French identity cards, but they hate what France stands for. This is the nature of the problem we are facing. And it’s very hard to talk about.”
