French Jews Fleeing to Florida
Arutz 7 ^ | 3-12-2007 | IsraelNN.com

Jews fleeing anti-Semitism in France are flocking to southern Florida, according to a local newspaper. Most of the 14,000 who have fled since 2001 have moved to Israel, but the Florida coast is a close second. Jewish organizations estimate that 2,000-4,000 French Jews live in the Miami-Dade County area.

"The general hostility of Muslims in France toward Jews, is...behind my decision to leave,'' Rod Kukurudz, who now lives with his wife and their three daughters in Surfside, Florida, told the Miami Herald. "French Jews see the handwriting on the wall and say, `We're not going to wait until it's too late,' '' said Greater Miami Jewish Federation official Jacob Solomon.

An organization involved in French Jewish immigration estimates that 50,000 more French Jews are planning to move to Israel and another 10,000 to Florida.

They're observant Jews. Ergo, they are Republicans.

Don't confuse secularists with Jewish grandparents as actual Jews.

since they're here legally I certainly hope so, but I've known alot of europeans here illegally. I would be surprized to learn that all french are perfectly law abiding.

"Get out while you still can - before the French put you on trains again."

Happened to my in laws. Set "free" (to flee with clothes on backs and money up rectal cavity) by Germans.

They hate the French more than the Germans. Germans learned their mistakes. The French just covered it up.

I think they will be voting Republican.

Not a chance. Have you already forgotten the 2000 and 2004 elections?

In addition, since they won't be citizens, that, by definition, means democrat votes.

Typical French cowards. They would rather surrender their country than fight for it. They spit on us then flee here for their security. There is no way these people are conservatives. The pansy party is the democrat party. That is where their support will go.

You're right and I shouldn't have made that assumption. If I were trying to remove my family from what I think may be coming for Jews in France, I'd want to "dot all the i s and cross all the t s" so as to be sure not to get sent back.

Yours is an interesting point of view. I don't think much of it, though.

Leave that country. It's starting again. My 82 year old German mother can tell you how Jews escaped that country between 1936 and 1938 from around Bamberg. We are Catholic and we are also not liked by France. Put what you have on the market and move out. I did not like France 20 years ago and like it even less today.

Yes, it is painful to see a know-nothing shooting off at the mouth.

Here is what is wrong with this:

The Muslims are harassing people where they move and then the indigenous population moves out and the Muslims take over. They are doing it in several locations, including Bethlehem, where the Catholics are moving out. They will do this everywhere they go. These Catholics have appealed to the Vatican, but have not gotten any help.

The same technique is used my Mexicans in the US. Not here in Texas, as much, but I know it is happening on the east coast. They harass people and the cops won't do anything.

The other problem is that the Muslim population is growing faster than the European population, so not only do you have them growing from a newborn perspective, but also because Europeans are emigrating.

This is bad.

You may not think much of Ron from the Acreage's point of view but I totally agree with him.

The article posted earlier [yesterday or Saturday] said that these French are applying for visas. How are they going to vote? See here.
