Mass Muslim immigration has destroyed French Jewry. Years of Muslim immigration from Algeria, Tunisia, and Morocco has made life impossible for French Jews. Cities that had vibrant Jewish communities have been decimated. Jewish schools have become fortresses. Synagogues have become empty. In 2018, Jews are not able to walk the streets without being verbally or physically assaulted.
In the last few years, a number of Jews have been murdered by French Muslim citizens, including Holocaust survivor Mireille Knoll, who was stabbed 11 times, before she and her apartment were set on fire. The French government has shown tremendous incompetence and cowardice for not defending its country’s Jews, out of fear of offending its massive number of Muslim voters.
In the last 10 years, France has lost close to 10 percent of its Jewish population (500,000 strong) to Israel. In the coming years, France’s Jewish population will continue to shrink, since Jews will rightfully leave for Israel en masse. In the future, the center of French Jewry will no longer be in Paris, Marseilles, and Lyon, but Tel Aviv, Netanya, and Ashdod.
Of course, Israel will reap huge benefits from French Jewish immigration. Many of the French Jews who are immigrating to Israel are young, wealthy, and educated. They have degrees (especially medical degrees) in every field one can think of. Israel, a country that is among the most talented and brilliant countries in the world, is about to get a significant brain gain from the world’s third largest Jewish population. History will not be kind to the gutless and incompetent French government, for gifting some of its most talented citizens to Israel.
Nestled in a quiet street of Bondy, a suburb of Paris, is a synagogue protected by high walls, electronic gates and CCTV cameras. Armand Azoulay, its president, greets us as morning prayers begin. It’s Sunday and only about 15 worshippers are in attendance. But even on Saturdays, the Sabbath and usually the busiest day, barely 40 people turn up. A few years ago it would have been more than 100. Armand has been working hard to revive the once flourishing community life in the area. The place of worship is also at the heart of the social life of the town’s Jewish families.
“We’ve invested a lot in the synagogue,” he says. “We’ve refreshed it. We’ve started many activities that have encouraged people to come back.”
Faced with a rise in antisemitic acts it was also necessary to reassure people that it was safe to come attend.
“Reinforced doors, reinforced windows, reinforced walls! Cameras!” says Rabbi Ilan Azagoury. “Why? Because there is aggression. There are opponents of Judaism. We will not mention them. But there are opponents! What do they want? They want to scare us? To terrorise us? So we’re afraid and run away? Is that what they want? What we hope is to continue. What we hope is to be able to live in France. The synagogue is brand new. We did not do that to leave. We did that to stay. ”
Desperate measures
In the past fifteen years, the number of Jewish families in Bondy has fallen from nearly 500 to less than 200. The reasons for leaving are many, including marriage and work opportunities. But in recent years fear has been a major factor.
“We come in the morning, we never know what will be in the news,” says Norbert Allouche, a worshipper at the synagogue. “In addition, they’ve brought in to France this issue of the Palestinians. That’s not right. We live in France, we don’t live in Israel, for now.”
Another worshipper, Raphael Cohen, takes extra precautions: “I have to disguise myself to go to the synagogue because I can’t come with my kippa on my head. So I have to put on a cap… because there are some places here where people are really hostile to the Jewish community.”
That’s hostility that Armand’s son, Nethaniel, along with his older brother, painfully experienced last year. As they were driving home, wearing kippas, the pair were brutally assaulted by another motorist. Shouting antisemitic insults, the man forced them out of their car and attacked them with a saw. Nethaniel prevented the man from slitting his brother’s throat, but, ended up with a dislocated shoulder and severe cuts to his hand.
The 18-year-old says what saved him was the sport he has been doing with his father since childhood – Krav Contact. Armand is a teacher of the martial art, which is practiced by the Israeli army.
“If I hadn’t known how to defend myself, and I hadn’t known how to disarm him, I couldn’t have helped my brother. This sport saved me from dying with my brother,” says Nethanial, who now teaches Krav to his younger brother.
Since the attack, Nethaniel avoids wearing his kippa outside neighborhoods where he feels safe, as he does in the 19th arrondissement of Paris, where many Jewish families from the Parisian suburbs have resettled. Armand has a travel agency in the district and his son works there from time to time….

“The French government has shown tremendous incompetence and cowardice for not defending its country’s Jews, out of fear…”
Sounds kinda familiar. Sort of like when France turned their Jewish citizens over to Nazi Germany for slaughter? Flee sons and daughters of Abraham, flee while you still can…
France’s collaboration during the Holocaust is, as said, repeating itself. I am not sure if it is incompetence, fear or France’s inherent bent for anti-Semitic collaboration. France and Germany’s alliance, not only during the Petain Vichy regime, has remained steadfast during the post-war period. Germany is, as I perceive it, the same old autocracy of the past, under Fuhrer Merkel. Democracy is but a word not put into practice. Not only Muslims are Jew-Haters but many EU citizens, governments, and the latters’ agencies within the EU and Britain.
Nor is the US, the Americas immune from the rampant anti-Semitism. Progressivists, Democrats and every left-wing bigot is infecting society and the government. Fortunately, Trump is not a Fuhrer Merkel, May or Macron.
I learned long ago not to place too much trust in any individual, that includes President Trump. Hitler was seen as a model leader by many worldwide, Mussolini made the trains run on time. Both were considered role models for good leadership, until they weren’t…
BTW I’m not saying President Trump is a Nazi or fascist, just saying not to trust any human too much. True black hat villains are rare, most think they are doing right for their people but sin nature is a powerful deceptive poison.
“Both were considered role models for good leadership, until they weren’t…”
This probably applies more to Democrats today, who were once a pro-jewish/pro-Israel party under Truman and JFK. But Carter/Clinton/and Obama have pushed their party so it is now co-chaired by Muslim Radical Keith Ellison.
But Trump and his Evangelical base have pushed the Republicans further into being pro-Jewish civil rights and Pro-Israel.
Both Jewish citizens and Conservative/populists see a common enemy: Islamic Nationalism.
Liberals can’t even say “radical islam”.
Liberals can’t even say “radical Islam”.
Indeed, it will come back and bite them on the hiney. I am grateful for the steadfast alliance and friendship of the Trump administration and the Evangelical base.
I do NOT say “radical islam”. A moslem is a moslem is a moslem. They are ALL the same. They are the vilest of ALL creatures.
Agree. while Left/Libs welcome jihadis and run around like cowards after they start committing gang rapes, assaults.
Here’s one such woman from Germany who was brutally murdered https://tinyurl.com/yad8pdug
In a narrow sense you are correct, for now. However hatred for God’s people knows no political or philosophical bounds. Those who pragmatically support them today can easily turn away tomorrow. Especially in this post-Christian land. I was speaking more broadly than Israel and Muslims or Democrat Republican though…
TRuman wasn’t pro Jewish. Where did you acquire that nonsense?
truman was pro Israel.
stuff and nonsense. He refused Israel surplus US WW2 weaponry in their fight in ’48. His government actively pursued and imprisoned anyone caught trying to circumvent the boycott against arming the Jewish state. This was done in support of Great Britain, who thought if enough Jews were being massacred by the arabs the Jews would ask GB to re-enter palestine to save them. Israel never received any arms from America till AFTER the 67 war. His wife was a rabid anti-semite who never permitted harry’s Jewish business partner to enter their home . It was only because of his former partner’s pleadings that Truman recognized the State of Israel.
So Truman was just a regular Dem0crat after all.
Harry-Ass Truman was one of the biggest “Jew Haters”, in the history of man. JFK wasn’t too far behind him. Read their histories.
truman was pro Israel. JFK was surrounded by Jews in his administration hand picked by him.
Sorry, but Harry-Ass Truman is on record of being an outright Jew hater. Same can be said about JFK, the king of nepotism .. who actually appointed his brother as AG, when he had yet to pass the Bar.
I’ve read RFK was the only decent Kennedy brother.
Compared to joni and tedi, perhaps … but “decent”? I’ve read that mohammed was a prophet.
Truman had a small town type antisemitism and was known to make tasteless Jewish jokes, he was leery of the East Coast Jewish Leftist Elite… yes but he CAME UP TO THE PLATE when he was needed most.
Such as not allowing the sale of US WWII weapons, to Israel? Or, his administration prosecuting US citizens that were raising money to arm Israel? What “PLATE”?
When Truman recognized Israel over the objections of his very powerful Secretary of State. Sorry I cannot recall the. Secretary’s name.just now.
That, in no way, negates Truman’s DOJs prosecutions against those that were raising funds, to purchase old weapons that Truman’s State Department had refused Israel. Hairy-ass Truman was a Jew hater, to his very core.
Truman fought in WW1 and was born a farmer’s son (a working farm that had no electricity, not a gentleman’s farm).
In Hairy-Ass Truman’s youth, who had electricity? What does that have to do with him being a vile piece of drek?
In the media, “journalists” are paid to keep quiet in the manner you have described. Mum for the Money.
“Sin nature is a powerful deceptive poison.”
You’re a man of my thinking; politicos, I take a day at a time. Nothing or no one is always what they seem, or appear. Studying, reading history or watching documentaries of Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, Mao makes one ponder the deceptive practices of not only the past but the present.
Human sin nature isn’t called “human sin nature” for no reason. The moment I try to point my finger at politicians (or others) my pride wants me to forget that “Except for God there goes you and I”. No friend I don’t even really trust my own self not to underestimate my own inate sin nature…
We are all susceptible, MAS, and must remain vigilant. Agreed, it is not an easy task.
Honestly, I have little doubt that I would find YOU more honorable than Hillary Clinton or Jim Comey. It is a given that none of are are perfect but many do better than others. The Holy Spirit does restrain us.
They are repeating themselves. There are only so many ways to deceive people.
Ecclesiastes 1:9
[9] The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
Human nature has not changed!
Yes and I might add that Corrpution is the Rule of Operations until one gets caught ????
I commend you for the courage to state essentially that even here in the U.S. those of the Jewish belief system will face the same fate as is now happening in France. The Jewish belief system does not preach hate, nor claim Aryanism, nor domination and subjugation of non-believers; yet, the evidence out there has left most right thinking people with the conclusion that wherever those of the Muslim persuasion go, they bring with them their built in hate, claims that only they are acceptable as a religion and all others are to be destroyed or subjugated to them, and pursue false legal beliefs that they wrongly claim was given them by their so-called God, a God whose directions in their book (Koran) seems more satanic than Godly as we non-believers would expect. The anti-Semitism, and their rejection of all other religious beliefs, that these people bring with them has spurred the violent Jihadi conduct throughout Europe, and I have no doubt that as their numbers increase here in the states that they will have the same effect here, and something akin to a civil war will occur here. This problem that these believers represent, and I concede that not all believers of Islam accept the violent conduct that is promoted by their belief system, but they do nothing about rejecting those notions, will cause what is happening in Europe and wherever they go tragedy of the most dangerous kind. It seems to me that the only solution to the problem that these people represent is acceptance of and total rejection of all that is poisonous about their belief system. Since I do not see that happening, my guess is that we, here in the states, will see the same conduct being played out here, a disaster for this nation. I feel sorry for the now youth of this country and future generations, as we allow these believers to overrun our free world societies. That becomes even more worrisome when you compound these problems with those foolish enough to believe that opening our borders, and terminating ICE is the answer to what is shaping up in this world. Where is the sanity. I can only hope that come November’s elections that those elected will be overwhelmingly rational and reject the views expressed by the liberal media and the Democratic Party, and legislate with an understanding of what we all face.
Well stated, Dennis.
“…I concede that not all believers of Islam accept the notion of violent conduct that is promoted by their belief system.” Really? Then why don’t they do anything substantive to:
1. stop it?
2. ameliorate its effects (say by assisting the victims of the worldwide muslum jihad)?
How many of your peaceful muslums are actually FUNDING violent jihad thru muslum charities or their mosques?
Anytime a Muslim buys HALAL meat,they are funding jihad. They ALL try to buy that.
Oh, Judas. “Dennis” is back on its kick of ALL of the “moderate peace loving” moslems …. Place it in the same camp as litty spittoon …. with ALL of her peace loving moslems. When asked to provide ONE example … NO one, on this forum, has been able to do so…. with the exception of the Botany Bay Reject …. michaelofsydney … who’s “mum” knows a very nice moslem female ….
Funny how all the idiotic kufar defenders of islum only do so from the safety of the dying atheist West — rather than some muslum sh!ttystan. It almost stinks of hypocrisy.
A moslem is a moslem is a moslem. They are ALL the same. They are the vilest of ALL creatures.
We are on a similar page.
What is also problematic is Jews being anti-Semitism! That wasn’t happening under Hitler. Now you have liberal Jews defending Islam! It’s hard to take in seeing how U.S. liberal Jews usher in their demise.
It has been estimate that only about 30% REJECT the violence in the Quran and further teachings in the Hadith. They don’t speak up much for either fear or simple ignorance. Yes they have their equilivent of pew warmers – prayer mat warmers that like the comradery, traditions and rituals but don’t know the details of their belief.
The ship was sailed on REFORM of Islam. They are back to the ORIGINAL teachings. These teachings are VIOLENT and intolerant of other faith believers and non believers. Do you remember a guy that would appear on FOX news all the time about REFORMING ISLAM?
His name was Dr. Zuhdi Jasser. You don’t hear or see HIM anymore. He now blames PAM GELLER for Muslims becoming jihadists! Here is an article about what he did in the name of “reform”.
Muslim Reform Group Reached Out to 3,000 US Mosques, Got Only 40 Responses
By Pamela Geller – on February 26, 2017
…
In December 2015, a small group of Muslims met in Washington, DC to discuss the reform of Islam. With media fanfare, they named themselves the Muslim Reform Movement (MRM), issued a Declaration for Muslim Reform, and became the new face of “Muslim reformers.”
…
Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, one of the MRM founders, admitted this on January 30, 2017, when he was interviewed in an article in The Federalist about the MRM’s recent one year anniversary: A Muslim Reformer Speaks Out About His Battle Against Islamism And PC. Jasser was asked about how many mosques the MRM had initially approached for support in 2015 and the nature of the responses from those mosques. Jasser’s answer was eye-opening:
We spent significant resources on this outreach over a period of ten months. We reached out through snail mail, e-mail, and telephone to over 3,000 mosques and over 500 known public American Muslims. We received only 40-plus rather dismissive responses from our outreach, and sadly less than ten of them were positive. In fact, one mosque in South Carolina left us a vicious voice mail threatening our staff if we contacted them again.
http://pamelageller.com/2017/02/muslim-reform-group-reached-3000-us-mosques-got-40-responses.html/
Has Dr. Zuhdi Jasser actually spoken to any mosque’s congregation anywhere on the face of this earth?
Christianity could be reformed because it’s founder was a pacifist who never advocated for violence against anyone, islum OTOH…
I am also worried for you youth. Islam is a generational problem. We have allot of them here. Yet we remain in denial of what the majority believe!
I am older. Maybe I have 10, 15 or 20 years tops. As fate will have it, when I am most vulnerable is when all hell will break lose. In any event, I will do what I can until I can’t.
Until arthritis becomes so severe, that I cannot squeeze a trigger, NO problem. Just tell our elected officials to get off of their duffs and announce the Open Season.
It’s simply amazing (used to seem amusing to a degree .. no longer does) how many idjits blame Jews for everything .. As, “Jews control the banks, and ALL of the politicians HAVE to be Jewish ….”
I’ve seen something called the “Kalergi Plan” described as a “Jewish Plot” or “Zionist Plan”. When you reference the fact the Richard von Coudenhove-Kalergi was the son of an Austrian nobleman/aristocrat father and a Japanese mother … they say that I am lying. “He was a JEW”. You cannot make up that kind of stupidity.
Then, when you get the half European and half Japanese .. I have to slink away … Having produced three of them.
It’s beginning to resemble the Weimar Republic when the Nazis were coming to power and those Jews, who could see the storm clouds on the horizon, quietly began to move out of Germany…those who remained had to be smuggled out, or face the ultimate humiliation…eventually the gas chambers.
Seems as if you know something about History which in fact is not taught much anymore . Maybe those teaching would put a light on the Moron ideas of Liberals in any Government ????
Better yet!
Prophecy is coming to life!
Zach.12:2,3
“Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it” –
Ironically Jerusalem means “city of peace” and has known little peace until the Prince of Peace comes. In His timing He will come but we don’t know when.
2 Thessalonians 2:3
I’m not sure it’s the great advice. France is a free country, and her Jews should increase the movement against antisemitism. Organized movement.
Armed self-defense. No way around it.
Trying to outsmart the monster is what led to many Jews becoming ashes during the time of Hitler.
Why are there still Jews in a country like France? Hanging on to a threatened comfort zone?

(I’m not religious. I’m agnostic).
So what make you undecided?
Being on the fence is precarious.
May the French enjoy their endless supply of moslems. If France is faced with civil war..France will simply surrender and kiss arab ass for oil. Been doing that since DeGaulle.
The French Resistance fought the nazis and died doing so — sometimes after being horribly tortured.

Barcelona’s chief rabbi urges Jews to move to Israel because ‘Europe is lost’

SPAIN forgot its history with MUSLIMS!
I hope that America does not share their fate.
Pam, why is it when I post to Twitter it tells me that I’ve already posted this when I haven’t?
I wouldn’t trust myself with a Twitter account.
I suspect you have to ask Twitter about that.
Isn’t there Twitter help on Twitter?
The two synagogues that were blown up by muslums in 2003 in Istanbul, Turkey killing 26 people? They were built like fortresses.
Come to Canada Proud French Jews!
Life is good in Canada for Jewish people and they are free to be themselves and wear kippas in the street.
Shabbat Shalom
With anti-Semetic Ms Trudy running the show, that maybe unwise BUT Toronto maybe signally a change! Canada also has a Muslim problem. Doug Ford is a good guy!
Are you so sure? I am not.
But for how much longer?
They come for the Jews. Next they come for everyone . Join together in great numbers and resist murderers and their enablers . The governments are defending the murders;so what is worse the murders or the government that won’t fight for their people.
Cognitive dissonance . A lot of Jews ignored or didn’t see all of the tell tale signs of their future demise during Hitler’s time. Didn’t see or didn’t want to see what was happening right in front of them. I think the Jews are aware now of what is going on in leftward leaning countries i.e France ,Germany, England,Sweden. Its what about other people’s in these countries including the United States. Are they in denial, are they cognizant of the fact of what the far left combined with Islam is willing to do to the rest of us. Do they understand their plan. As said by many ,Left/Islam is no different than nazis.
The sitiaution in France will get worse and the jews of France should move to Israel the only place that truly welcomes them.
Once the Jews leave Europe, then Europe, itself, will change its nature. Then World War III will come. It will start from Germany, most likely. Since they started the first two World Wars.
But FIRST, remove the Jews.
Good bye.
“If I hadn’t known how to defend myself, and I hadn’t known how to disarm him …” Why simply disarm a moslem, attacking with edged weapons? Go to the nth degree … one less moslem (the vilest of ALL creatures) and the world’s a far better place. One down and over one billion to go ….
This is what happens when any Government fails to enforce its own Immigration Laws ! Who cares ? Well I think the government now care but it’s too late . The French culture is shrinking and the reason is in your face . Anyone of Power of any Government who doesn’t support the Immigration Laws of that Country has no concern for the safety of its citizens nor the protection of its culture ????
I’am a Christian, I wouldn’t want to live in France among the Islamic CULT, who are mostly Pedophiles like their leader mohammad.
The Jews must stand united and strong, or they will surely fall…I hope they manage to survive the darkness that is coming for the West.
