The surge in antisemitism continues in France. In the last three months of 2023, there were more antisemitic incidents reported in the country than in the previous three years combined. Grande Synagogue of Paris Chief Rabbi Moshe Sebbag has issued a gloomy prediction: “It is clear today that there is no future for Jews in France. I tell everyone who is young to go to Israel or a more secure country.”
The Jews of France remember the gang of Muslim Arabs and Africans who kidnapped and tortured to death Ilan Halimi. They remember the murders of two elderly women., 65-year-old Sarah Halimi and 85- year-old Mireille Knoll. Sarah Halimi was beaten with a phone and then with his fists by Kobili Traoré, a drug dealer and drug addict, who then defenestrated her while shouting “Allahu akbar.” Traoré had previously frightened Halimi with repeated antisemitic insults. Mireille Knoll was an 85-year-old Holocaust survivor who was stabbed eleven times, and then set on fire by Yacine Milhoub, a Muslim neighbor whom she had known, befriended, and taken care of since he was a little boy. Then there were the four Jews who were murdered at the Hyper Cacher kosher market at the Porte de Vincennes by Amedy Coulibaly. In Toulouse, Rabbi Jonathan Sandler was murdered, along with his two little boys, Aryeh, aged six, and Gavriel, aged three, in front of the city’s Jewish school. Eight-year-old Myriam Monsonego, daughter of the school’s head teacher, tried to escape the killer, Mohammed Merah, who chased her into the courtyard, caught her by her hair and raised a gun to shoot her. The gun jammed at this point. He changed weapons from what the police identified as a 9mm pistol to a .45 calibre gun, and shot the girl in her temple at point-blank range. These are just some of the stories of Muslims murdering Jews in France.
There is also the daily fare of taunts to Jewish pupils in classrooms, beatings in the schoolyards, the harassing of Jewish passengers in the metro, on buses, in trains. There are the street robberies of Jews who are especially targeted because, so many Muslims believe, “Jews have all the money,” there is the vandalism in Jewish cemeteries, with swastikas painted on gravestones, the “Mort aux Juifs” (Death to the Jews) scrawled on the walls of synagogues, the sexual assaults of Jewish girls and women to take “revenge for Palestine,” and most recently, the rape of a 12-year-old Jewish girl by three Muslims.
The latest example of this antisemitic crime wave took place in Val d’Oise, where two Muslim men proceeded to beat and knock down an 88-year-old Jewish woman who was on her way to a doctor’s appointment and made the mistake of wearing a neckless with a Star of David attached. More on this attack can be found here: “88-year-old grandmother of Israeli MK beaten in France, called ‘dirty Jew,’” by Stuart Winer, Times of Israel, July 4, 2024:
The 88-year-old grandmother of MK Sharren Haskel (New Hope) was physically and verbally assaulted last month in France in what the Israeli lawmaker said was an antisemitic attack that should serve as a wake-up call to the French people about the threat posed by radical Islam….
In her complaint to police, the woman, who was not named in media reports or by Haskel, described leaving her home in Val-d’Oise, north of Paris, for a medical appointment when two men assaulted her, reports said. One of them, she said, punched her in the face, breaking her tooth and causing her to fall to the ground. She was kicked in the back as one of the men shouted “dirty Jew” and called her “a dirty old woman.”
The two assailants also shouted at her: “This is what you deserve.”
In her police complaint, the woman noted that she was wearing a Star of David necklace and that the two men may have noticed, “otherwise they wouldn’t have known” that she was Jewish, according to reports….
In a statement to Hebrew media outlets, Haskel said that the two men who attacked her grandmother were “Arab thugs.”
“Antisemitism in France has been on the rise for a long time. Since October 7, it has become intolerable and the government in France is ignoring and allowing the spread of blood libels against Israel. As a result the Jewish community is suffering from violence, rape, murder.”…
Haskel also published an opinion piece in the Causeur, a French news magazine, in which she called for an end to “state-run anti-Israeli propaganda” that she claimed is led by the Agence France Presse (AFP) news service and French public media, and that according to her is feeding antisemitism….
The slanted coverage by Agence France-Presse of the war in Gaza, depicting the IDF as conducting a barbaric campaign of “war crimes” and “genocide,” has helped to whip up the antisemitic fervor of French Muslims — not that they have ever needed much whipping up.
While the Jews are described in the Qur’an as the “strongest in enmity to the Muslims” (5:82), Muslims know that all non-Muslims are to be despised and shunned, because they are “the most vile of created beings” (Qur’an 98:6). What is happening to Jews today in France will happen to the non-Jewish Infidels tomorrow. “First the Saturday people, then the Sunday people.”
The Jews of France have a choice. Some will choose to make Aliyah, convinced that the situation in France cannot be improved, and that the Muslim presence will inexorably grow and make life ever less tolerable for the Jews. But others will stay, unwilling to be chased away by violent barbarians, and will find hope in the resurgent National Rally, the only party that offers full-throated support for Israel, and intends to halt, and then reverse, the recent massive influx of Muslims, which if achieved will make life safer and less onerous for the Jews of France, as it will for all the non-Muslims in the Hexagon.
French Jews must learn to dismiss that epithet “far-right,” which no longer applies to the National Rally, if it ever did. They should ignore the attempt of the party’s political enemies to convince Jews that the party is antisemitic. It isn’t. The “antisemitic” party of the right was the National Front, founded by Marine Le Pen’s father, Jean-Marie Le Pen. But he has been denounced by his daughter, explicitly for his antisemitism, expressed in his remark that the gas chambers were a mere “detail” of World War II. She has nothing to do with him, politically or personally. The National Rally is pro-Israel and philosemitic. Jordan Bardella, president of the NR and its leading MEP, who if the NR wins an absolute majority in the National Assembly would become prime minister, has declared a “two-state solution” to be “obsolete,” and says that a Palestinian state would be a “reward for terror.” Israeli Diaspora Minister Amichai Chikli praised Bardella, and his office said: “We have excellent contact” with the party of Le Pen. Those who are contemplating aliyah because of their fears for the future of French Jews may want to hold off making such a move. They should wait to see what the National Rally manages to accomplish, now that sufficient numbers of the French public have finally become alarmed at the danger posed by the millions of Muslims in their midst.

Need anyone wonder why Islamophobia is on the rise. What kind of Devil beats an 88 year OLD WOMEN besides ISLAMIC ANIMALS. STOP the migration invasion of Muslims/Islam.
somehistory says
The poor lady. I can only imagine it. It’s good that she has help from her family. Perhaps the police will find the mozlum thugs who terrorized and beat her.
Everywhere violence is growing. The 4th in the States saw at least 33 people murdered; one was a little girl and the cops have no clue why she was shot.
In NYC, a young man was assaulted in the park where thugs set an American flag on fire.
Jews are the first to be targeted in France and other western nations. But, they are not the only ones to face the violence and thuggery of mozlums.
Mike says
I’d like to see a huge, brickhouse type-guy take those thugs, jam his toes up their bare arses, and do a Slavic-style jig, with them bobbing up and down on his foot.
Then, throw them into the air, and punch them so hard that they sail up to the moon, and smash into it so hard that they form a new crater thereon.
Ok, I’m being fanciful, but I would really like to see them get a good, classic martial arts beatdown for their own good to teach them a lesson. Vile Islamist heathen thugs.
somehistory says
Yes, Mike, they rightly deserve a few roundhouse’s. An out behind the barn or tool shed lesson.
Rufolino says
It goes like this : the Jews first, Christians will be next, and then anyone who is not Muslim.
It’s all in the pipeline, mandated by the Koran.
Get ready folks in the nations of the West ! They are coming for you.
David Wilson says
Islam is a threat to all democracies. Nothing peaceful about Islam.
Wellington says
Yes, true democracy is as incompatible with Islam as the Judeo-Christian conception of the deity would be by asserting that Satan is a good fellow.
After all, in what Muslim majority nation, of which there are over fifty, does real democracy exist, which would have to include the right of a minority to be fully protected under the law (N.B., Sharia won’t cut it here) and with real freedom of speech existent?
None. Yes, none.
Tony Rice says
Any hint of democracy in a Muslim country is what Western countries have influenced upon them, the UK in particular, Commonwealth countries, and that was one reason for Arab countries not wanting the reinstatement of the State of Israel, still now the only true democracy in the Middle East. And all the world’s claptrap re the I D F action in Gaza pales into insignificance when compared to the fact FIVE Arab countries INVADED Israel when it was recreated in 1947/8. And what condemnation or action taken by the UN against those 5 countries. That tiny Israel survived its birth was a MIRACLE. And look at it now, most advanced in many matters, science in particular
Spiro says
not only the cover their faces with a skiask
to cowardly to be visible
they take on victims that can’t defend themselves
to cowardly to go after able bodied
Wellington says
Anyone asserting they are surprised by this is either an ignoramus or a liar. If a third alternative exists, off-hand I don’t know what that third “option” could or would be.

Rip Van Winkle just waking up from his sleep. Or someone who has been in a coma for a few decades and just came out of it.
I went to a business school with a young woman whose husband had been in a coma for a very long time, years, and when he woke up, he found that she had gotten a boyfriend and a lot of other things in his ‘world’ had changed.
Any One like him could be forgiven for not being aware.
James Lincoln says
Yikes, somehistory.
I hope that I never fall into long coma…
somehistory says
As do I, James.
She sat in class and told us of all of this. I thought her to be quite cruel. She wanted sympathy for having to be married to him…”in sickness”…

Wow, France is accomplishing what the Nazis were unable to do–killing off the Jews or making it impossible to live there. Hope you’re proud.

Markus Ehrenschild says
Perhaps you should mention that Serge and Beate Klarsfeld, the well-known “Nazi-hunting” couple, have openly endorsed Marine Le Pen, thereby outraging many on the left.
Tony Rice says
Any country where their Jews leave, collapses , especially financially. South Africa prime example, serves ’em right. Remember the ANC call ” when Mandela goes, we will kill you whites like flies. THOUSANDS of white farmers have been and get murdered but all kept quiet. For the sake of what?
Troybeam says
Like all European nations that have accepted Islam into their nation have failed in
protecting their sovereignty putting the immigrants before the nations citizens, what a shame,
what a crime by elected officials & the citizens for not standing up and accepting them into their nations.
The one crime above all else:disarming the citizens.

It’s waaaay past time for cops in places like France to carry out ‘sting ops’. Put out the ‘bait’… but the ‘bait’ has a LOT of heavily-armed friends lying in wait… when the mob takes the ‘bait’… then BAM bring down the ten-tonne hammer, really really fast so that you catch the bastards BEFORE they can get on their phones and call up their 1000 fellow-mobsters to cause a riot. (But plan B of the ‘sting’ is to have the army on call…).
Scotsman48 says
Such low life low IQ thugs attack old folks and young girls because they are cowardly soy boys that couldn’t fight their way out of a wet paper bag but it takes at least two of them to attack an 88 year old woman and a 12 year old girl… Such scum.
Methinks its time the people of Europe, and indeed America, to take matters into their own hands as the Governments appear to be on the side of the invaders while we watch savages destroy our cultures with the help of those Of The Left which is in-itself weird as islamic teachings are the exact opposite of anything The Left holds near and dear.
Interesting and dangerous times indeed.
Mike says
If the two Muslims in this story had instead attacked a lesbian couple, similar to the lesbian couple in Canada who got attacked by 8-10 (!) male Muslim migrants, then they (the two guys who attacked the 88-year-old Jewish lady) would have got their arses kicked!
