PARIS, March 6 — Three attacks against Jews over the weekend have added to anxiety that anti-Semitism is growing among a new generation of French citizens in the country's immigrant-heavy, working-class neighborhoods.
The police said two young men, 17 and 18, were attacked late Friday by black and Arab youths in the northern Paris suburb of Sarcelles, home to a large number of Jewish families. The attackers broke the nose of one victim, a rabbi's son, and stole the cellphone of the other.
On Saturday, a 28-year-old Jewish man was beaten in the same suburb by youths who made anti-Semitic remarks. He suffered a dislocated shoulder. Four people are being questioned in the Saturday attack, the police said.
"Anti-Semitism is rising in our country," Dominique Strauss-Kahn, a legislator representing Sarcelles, said after a meeting in which Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy spoke with the victims of the attacks.
France is still absorbing the torture and killing last month of Ilan Halimi, a 23-year-old Jewish man.
His death has focused attention on a virulent anti-Semitism that has grown since the start of the Palestinians' second intifada against Israel. Many of the youths in the country's working-class neighborhoods are from Muslim families and have taken the Palestinian conflict onto the streets at home.
The police have increased patrols around synagogues in the suburbs north of Paris.

Interesting point...

Yeah, Amish lawlessness is a major problem... I can't tell you how many times this week I've heard the telltale "clip-clop clip-clop clip-clop POW! clip-clop clip-clop ...." sound of an Amish drive-by shooting... and don't even get me started about the epidemic of "cow-tipping".
Well said.
Advice to Jews: pack and use!
Islam is evil.
Le Pen was right when he wanted to limit/stop Muslim immigration.
The French are certainly reaping what they have sown.
FRmail me to be added or removed from this Judaic/pro-Israel/Russian Jewry ping list.
Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.
What a coincidence!
In the final analysis, the only truly safe place for the Jewish people shall be Israel, in terms of not being persecuted for one's faith.

LOL, you beat me to it!
Guess they didn't pay attention to Camp of the Saints.
Never again.
Where have I heard that before?
Carry, double tap and go home.
Self defense is a natural right.
I can't read this article without thinking that The New York Times bears some responsibility for this persecution. They helped set it up with their sanctimonious multiculturalism, their anti-Christian bias, their support of Chirac against Bush, and their pro-immigration policies.
And if they can figure out any way to make it happen in our country, they'll do it.
Sure, the French are primarily responsible for what is happening in their own country. But the international press and intellectual establishment have eagerly helped.
You will get no argument from me re your analysis. They've been on the wrong side of history quite consistently for the last 80 years.
