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.

They voted for the liberal politicians that let Arab/Islamists into France....And how would you know that?...Seems to me that the French who voted for liberals are happy with what they got and wouldn't be asking the US for asylum.

0.8% of Frances population is Jewish. How do they do it, simple. Each one votes 15 times, and browbeats 50 Christians into voting for liberals. A Jewish electoral majority is born.

What? So now i'm a Islamofascist *and*
a Nazi because I don't want any more
Socialist trash to come to the US?

If you had bothered to read through
the thread, you'd find i have no problem
with *real* jews..but *fake* jews, or fake
catholics or fake anything, who are really
socialists or muslims, running away from
the immoral societies they foster, and are
then persecuted by, and then want to come
*here* and do the same thing?:??

No way! let em rerap what they have sown.

My typing is atrocious becuse of
several reasons, none have to do
with ethnicity, as you want to
imply to paint me as some kind of
anti-semite.

But i'll tell ya..you want to start paying me
for what i write, and convince FR to change
their boards to allow posters to edit
their posts...i'll stop being an
unrepentant keyboard butcher, and be
a well paid, grammatically correct
grandma too.

Why is it that *secular* jews are allways
he first to cry "religious persecution!"??

Anyone who says to let innocent people die at the hands of Islamics may not specifically be an anti-semite, but that person has the same hatred in their heart as the Islamics do. Shame on you.

why not Israel?they don't have to prove political oppression to emigrate there-are they worried about being drafted?this sounds like a symbolic request by the way,although it's nice to see those stuck up euro-trash being told the truth about themselves for once-

And how do you know that French Jews are socialists?

No way! let em rerap what they have sown.

And how did French Jews who represent less than 1% of France's total population sow the seeds of socialism?

Why is it that *secular* jews are allways he first to cry "religious persecution!"??

Do you mean to say that French Jews aren't being persecuted? You never responded to a previous post of mine that very clearly and specifically refuted your assertion that French Jews are socialists and that has contributed to the physical attacks that they are suffering from in France.

You have painted yourself in a corner IMHO. Your assertion isn't true at all and because other posters have come to FR before who were Jew-haters of different stripes, you have brought yourself to the attention of others who have had experience with them. As I have also had personal experience on this site with Jew-haters, it has made that possibility more apparent.

In my experience, Jew-haters are the very first to use the lame excuse that Jews who defend their point of view question yours, and your motives, are *secular Jews. How do you know that it is the "secular Jews" of France that made the request for asylum? Did you bother to read the article? Yours is at the very least a careless assertion and at the worst, an attempt to cover your own bias.

So NickatNite2003, care to revise your point of view?

...you'l be just fine with that.

The secular(fake( jews i wa referring to, were you and the other posters who want to painrt me as a "jew hater"
because these first victims of the next
Hitler/Stalin want to bring their Nanny State
gimmie-ism political zeigeist here. and i say
no way, i hate jews..their jewishness is
incidental to me. Their immoral French
Socialism is the point of cvontention.

Europe is whimpering it's way into death by
the disease of "politically Correct"
slavery/serfdom.

Bull! Who says they are innocwent? And not
Socialists, And their only route to
safety, is not to the US.

If, as you say, they are the conservative
leaning, credits to society, true to
their faith and heritage..l.Why do they
pick the US as their firsst choice
destination? why if tyhey are to leave
their homes in France, did they not
choose to go to Israel? Could it
be that they know that they wouod not
fit in there? And why would that be?

...you'l be just fine with that.

Do you think that these 7000 will come with nothing but the shirts on their back? These 7000, and if it comes to it, millions more from Europe are infinitely superior in every way than the 20 million illegals running across our border from Mexico. They will bring their education, their assets (until they are forced to stop), their superior skills, and experience with Islam to our shores.

The secular(fake( jews i wa referring to, were you...

As Ronaldus Maximus used to say... "There you go again". I am not secular.

Yes, I'd be fine with that.

I don't think that it would happen in any event, as the mongrel hordes that you fear that are running to our borders will be trapped on their own shores for the most part.

Their immoral French Socialism is the point of cvontention

It is it is spelled 'contention'. And I don't believe that they will bring their socialism. The Jews of France are, for the most part, extremely traditional. They will bring something that is badly needed in our country: A respect for freedom and the knowledge of who is out to destroy it.

Europe is whimpering it's way into death by the disease of "politically Correct" slavery/serfdom.

Europe is a continent bathed in blood and strife. The Christians and Muslims have fought a war on that continent before and because of the birth rate of immigrant Muslims, the failure of Europeans to take a stand against militant Islam and the violence it brings, are going to have another one. It has absolutely nothing to do with socialism and the minorities of Europe and more to do with history and the insurgency of radicals that will push Europe over the edge.

This phenomena is happening all over the continent and will spill over to our shores whether we wish it or not. We will need freedom loving people to stand with us. We allreaddy have enough of them posing as Democraps.

The word is "already", and we have a lot of RINO's doing exactly the same thing. Our beloved president has allowed more illegals across our borders than any American president in modern history. It was the RINO congress that approved Medicare part D, arguably the largest socialist appropriation since Johnson's term. It was a REPUBLICAN president who signed it.

I for one, would welcome these people from Europe. They would do no more damage than we are already doing to ourselves and might (just might) help the average American realize what he or she stands to lose if we fail in this war. Your arguments are simplistic and you sir, are mistaken.

It ha *everything* to do with socialism, since
it was and is socialismn thqt has destroyed
all moral fabic in every European country,
or is in the process of it. To blame all
Europes ills on the fact that Christians
fought back against Muslim expansion, and
that Religion and morality is the cause ofg
all strife is as rediculous as saying all
jews are 'blood guilty' for the death of
Jesus Iscariot.

Socialism, and communism are responible
for creatingh the societies that allowed
for the rise of Hitler and Stalin, and
it's doing it again.

Islamofascism & Socialism, are different
just facets of the same evil blood ruby.
A large underclass, controlled by a
dictatorial tyanny in the end.
Where the small minority end up,
using different titles, but live
like Tsars at the top- of a fudal
lord caste. just like the Caliphate,
without the religious dogma.

I'd take some of them into my house if I could. Darn straight.

I would not be here if English families didn't take my father in at age 7 off the Kindertransport in WWII.

Et puis, on parle francais ici et garde kosher.

It wasn't socialism that allowed Moslems to become 10% of the population of France and Norway or buy up huge blocks of London. It wasn't socialism that allowed them in large numbers into Germany either. Socialism didn't encourage the Moslems to bomb trains or burn cars. It wasn't socialists who have created the demographic and violence of Europe today.

To blame all Europes ills on the fact that Christians fought back against Muslim expansion, and that Religion and morality is the cause ofg all strife is as rediculous

It is definately your issues with the english language here that make it difficult to get you to see the essence of what is being said here.

Europe's problems are not because of past wars with Islam, but that history is a symptom of the larger problem. Socialism and Communism are undesireable, but they are not the reason why millions of Muslims are terrorizing Europe now. Socialism and Communism did not cause the importation of cheap North African and Middle Eastern labor to Europe, anymore than it causes the mass importation of illegal Mexican labor to the US.

The probem for the Europeans is not totalitarianism, it is a fifth column in their contries that will not assimilate and is prepared to fight to make you conform to their religion.

Some people, as you are doing, are drawing comparisons to the rise of European Islamists to Hitler and Stalin. Yes, they were totalitarian and Islamists want a Caliphate that seems similar in its controlling nature to Nazi-ism, but it is NOT the growth of Socialism that brought Islam to the shores of Europe. Even if there were no Socialism in France, the lower birth rate of the French and the higher birth rate of the Muslims would amount to the same thing. It is the open-ness of our democracies that allows the masses of immigrants in. It is our wealth that has caused us to become fat and lazy. It is our failure to appreciate our freedom that has emboldened our enemies. It has allowed them to think they are stronger, even when they are fewer in number. It will take a war to convince them otherwise and THAT is why war is inevitable on the European continent. The attacks on the smallest and easiest of minorities are just the first stages of the conflict to come.

Its fascinating that so many FREEPERS here want to break the rules for immigration because of "Nazi" like persecution of French Jews.

Amazing that the Nazi spector is raised so casually these days.

If you put teats on a bull, you would not get milk.

And Sarkozy is of jewish descent on both his mothers and fathers side. The claim that French Jews deserve refugee status is absurd. French muslims are a French problem - let the French stay there and deal with it.

Don't let 'em in. They'll just vote democrat like most of the other Jews in this country. Maybe they can come in if they pledge to vote Conservative and they don't, they go back to Frog-land.
