7,000 French Jews ask USA for Asylum
Arutz 7 ^ | 3-20-2007 | IsraelNN.com

Posted on 03/20/2007 1:12:29 PM PDT by Nachum

(IsraelNN.com) More than 7,000 French Jews have signed a petition asking for political asylum in the United States because of anti-Semitism in France. The petition makes pointed reference to the murder of Ilan Halimi, a 23-year-old Parisian Jew who was kidnapped and tortured to death last year by an anti-Semitic gang, and says that "following the barbarous murder of a young Jew because he was Jewish, in the context of the rise in anti-Semitic acts committed by Islamic fundamentalists, numerous members of the community no longer feel safe in France."

The petition was sent to the U.S. Congress and asks it to enact a law according French Jews refugee status.

Some French Jewish leaders were outraged: "This petition is bizarre, stupid and out of place," said Chaim Musicant, director of CRIF, the umbrella organization of secular French Jewish groups.

"I for one welcome them."

"Ditto that."

"Add a double Ditto to that."

Motion carried. Bite it, Buchananites.

Obviously they don't want to go to Israel.
Besides, I'll trade 1 million Jewish liberals for 7,000 fleeing French Jews.

France: One In Three Racist
If Sarkozy is considered a racist in the poll, then France is really Screwed.
Sarko is not a nationalist and Le Pen is a sell out.

Yes, and they are precisely the ones who want to come to America. Teach them English and roll them on in here.

I would be willing to bet most of them already speak English.

There is anti-semitism in France, among non-Arab French, at every level of French society.

In addition to the historic culturally conditoned anti-semitism, there is the new, or not so new, unholy alliance between the Left and the anti-Israel, pro- Palestinian factions. Under the guise of anti-Israel, anti-Zionist rhetoric, it is the same hatred of Jews that was seen in Europe, in particular in France in the 30's.

Bercause that's not what I think. I couldn't
care less that they are Jewish or not.
But they *are* socialists, and we sure
don't need any more of those mind
and soul poisoned, serf wanna-be 'Gimmees'
here...we have too many of them allready.

If rthey weren't soul poor, socialist dregs,
i'd have no problem with them comingg here.
Regardless of their religion, wich i doubt
they really are. I don't think they are
true jews, but fake jews, who had
reletives, or ancestors who were jews,
but they aren't jews...they just use
being "kjewish" as a all round defense.
wouldn't be able to answer five out of ten
questions from the Torah.

Nonsense, they are crave socialsts,
who only fight against benevolent
ststes...they are too chickenshit
to go to Israel where they might
have to fight against people whi
will do more than lock them up
for a couple of hours with a stale
sandwich.

True Democraps.

"The petition was sent to the U.S. Congress and asks it to enact a law according French Jews refugee status."

They should have done this with the GOP congress.
I'm not sure the librals are all that eager to help Jews in need. Libs would rather side with murderers and terrorists.

I hope this does go thru. But with all the show trials going on, will the libs even find the time?

Why should we be required to allow
those who want to pervert our way
of life with the same "values"
that have them being persecuted
in the countries that they have
fostered their socialist poison
in?

Bull, they are french socialists,
and that doesn't qualify as prouctive
and valuable..that translates as
useless leeches and soci9etal
perverters, who wnt the stste to
provide them with birth to death
benefits, from diapers, to useless
miseducations, to jobs for life, to
prostitutes on the public dime...
All they have to do, is surrender
their indivbiduality, only speak
allowed speech, and follow the
Leader and his propagandist leftie
"celebrities" to know what to do,
and what to feel, and think.

socialist have Europe tits up, and
whimpering it's way into souless
slavery, and they want to do the
same to us.

Better they all die.

You could be right - especially since they are in france where the language depends more upon apostrophes than on letters. Geez!!

Yea, 7000 new democrats.

I suppose your solution, as it were, is to leave them to the future pogroms of the radical Muslims — the modern incarnation of the Nazis.

For this great country, doing the right thing can and always should rise above partisanship.
Always.

I haven't read any further, so maybe this is redundant, but do you hear the leaps you are making here? All French Jews are cowards and draft dodgers???

I have an ex-boyfriend who IS a French Jew. He is currently fighting in Afghanistan.

Well, they may speak English, and good for them. They do not, however, speak it better than I.

You are shocking.

"You hope they all die"???

As I said in my previous post, I know such a French Jew, and he is more of a conservative than any of the friends I have here. He is willing to die for the freedom of the West. He is in the Army and in Afghanistan, fighting, while you are watching Nick At Nite (one can honestly presume).

People like him are damned whether they do or don't to those like yourself. He's trying to fix his own country, and is called a coward for it.

However, I am sure you feel very superior, spouting off about "socialists, all!" Pretty disgusting!!! (I mean, really, did you interview them all and find out that none of them fit your political questionnaire as worthy of life?)
