French Jews Fleeing to Florida

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.

How observant? Orthodox, Conservative, or Hasidic?

We have lots of Conservative Jews here but Jews still vote 80% Dem. They're still voting for FDR every election.

I think they will be voting Republican.

Don't hold your breath. Look at the liberal Yankees who screwed up their home states beyond repair, then moved to SE Florida to repeat the same liberal stupidity.

Sorry to offend your liberal sensitivities.
Your comments aren't worth the pixels it take to make them appear on-screen. Leave it to a cheap-talker to call someone a liberal for thinking it wrong to call Jews 'cowards' for leaving France and a sea of hate-filled Muslims--especially when it comes from a guy who has no family or anything else at risk. I'd say that you're the coward for not going to France and dealing with the Muslims--since you seem to have it all figured out. Motormouth.

Leave it to the french to ask others to fight their battles. The french can kiss my motormouth ass! Why don't they just convert to Islam? Problem solved right? I wouldn't send a dog to France, let alone myself.
