"Following the success of the right-wing National Rally Party in Sunday’s first round of French parliamentary elections, Grande Synagogue of Paris Chief Rabbi Moshe Sebbag cast doubt on the future of Jews in France and advocated for youth to immigrate to Israel or other countries.
“It is clear today that there is no future for Jews in France,” Sebbag told The Jerusalem Post on Monday. “I tell everyone who is young to go to Israel or a more secure country.”
It's interesting that this rabbi in particular (he carries some weight with his opinions) has changed his mind and is calling for French Jews to leave for reasons of safety.
I was listening to the Quad (tongue in cheek slam at the Squad in American Politics) a Jewish talk show on politics in Israel and around the world from JNS (Caroline Glick's outfit) Future in the BALANCE: Cornered French Jews Weigh Their Options | The Quad as they discussed elections in France, and elsewhere when they brought up this article by this Rabbi. According to them he is one of the big Rabbinical voices in France and it is quite something for him to be calling for young Jews to emigrate out of France and build their lives in Israel or "a more secure country".
The trend for many years now is for French Jews to leave. It used to be one of the big Jewish centres, alongside America, Canada and a few others after WW2 but the last few decades the Muslim immigration problem didnt' just murder a French satirist and his magazine when they made fun of Mohammed. France has quietly turned a blind eye to increasing rapes and murders of Jews by Muslims, because the victims were Jews. France down plays it like they do, calling it mental illness and anything other than antisemitism that is endemic to Islam.
