Jews who stay in France will evenually receive another coplimentary train ride from the French people.

[BigFinn]

The smart ones see the handwriting on the wall. Israel is their ONLY safe haven.

[billorites]

"Much of the impetus to leave France for new lives in Israel has come as the result of deep internal soul-searching among French Jews. Many of them have concluded that there is simply no future for them in France."

Well, unless you aspire to a future as a lampshade...

[Jim Noble]

Why are French Jews leaving France?

Because they still have that good Yiddishe kopf.

[airborne]

Islamo-Franco-Fasism!

[Thunder90]

Jews are leaving because they fear a French surrender to the Islamofascists.

[shrinkermd]

The European Muslims are serving as the nidus for a social pandemic of hate. It will affect the Jews first and then the rest of us later.

Multiculturalism is proving to be the Black Plague of the 21st century.

Why were many Jews leaving or trying to leave Germany in the 1930's?

[Right Wing Assault]

When there is anti-Islam, why don't the Muslims leave?

[muir_redwoods]

"Why are French Jews leaving France? "

Because they can read their history books

[Alissa]

If the French have a difficult time with Judaism, it will be interesting to watch their reaction to Islamism. Me thinks that is much more of a cultural divide and will be more difficult. Wait til they start destroying art in the Louvre, as the Taliban destroyed the Buddhas in Afghanistan.

[monkeyshine]

Jews are leaving France because they are smart.

[ivy]

The Stalinist-Saladnist Pact has no room for Jews.

[ml/nj]

Things are not always as they seem.

I met some people a few years ago in Caesarea who are French expatriates, and who help others leave France. They said that the favorable inheritance tax situation was a big motivator.

I'm not Jewish, but I am somewhat Tsalagi, and the lesson history teaches me is that outgunned people get stuck with hind tit status. This would not happen in an ideal world, but, when have we ever had an ideal world?
If you won't fight back, or you can't fight back, it is your choice, and your problem. Once you start to run, you will never be able to stop.
It is wonderful to live the life of a poet and philosopher, but you'd best remember how to sharpen your knife.

[sandra_789]

The ones who haven't left yet must be awfully dense.

[Alia]

Mark.

[Leisler]

One thing bothers me.
Jews have a bad history.
Every so often they get whacked.
In WWII Jews were dispersed, unable to form any protective group, rounded up and delivered to showers with nerve gas, ovens and worked to death as slaves.
So, they concentrated in a nation state and beat off conventual armies.
However, now they are most susceptible to a handful of nuclear ovens, detonated over 3-4 cities.
Some defense could be had by threatening nation state cities with equal or worse treatment.
However Hezballah opens a new means by which the nation state, in this case Lebanon, can claim powerlessness. These Psalmist are willing to do and take the deaths. It is not that they don't care, they welcome it.

It's so helpful of the MSM to always explain the "root causes" to us - in this case, the failure of France "to integrate" the Moslem youth. That's a promimate cause. The real root cause is that France let the Moslems in by the millions.
