Understandable French Jews are leaving or considering leaving the country.

Yes, some Jews are leaving France, but the exodus is proportionally small compared to, e.g., the Jews of the Soviet Union in the 1980s, or Jews leaving Arab countries in the late 1940s and 1950s - at least not now. One can usually determine how bad anti-Semitism is in a particular country by looking at the percentages of Jews who are leaving, assuming they are allowed to leave.

It should be noted that some French Jews have very deep roots in France, with ancestors going back to the Napoleonic era. That may be a mitigating factor on the exodus that might be occurring.

Id rather not Leave the U.S.A as my family’s been here for a while...

I sense the same “sentiment” accounted for the rather substantial number of Jews who didn’t leave Germany while they could, and will likely be the case for those in France.

Jews had roots in many Arabic-speaking countries going back to Biblical times, but when it’s time to go, it’s time to go. No White Paper this time, fortunately. Come on home.

That mitigating factor had its limits the last go round.
