It’s Arabs.

New York Times:

The solemn boulevards and quiet side streets of the 17th Arrondissement in Paris suggest Jewish life in France is vibrant: There is a new profusion of kosher groceries and restaurants, and about 15 synagogues, up from only a handful two decades ago.

But for residents like Joanna Galilli, this area in northwestern Paris represents a tactical retreat. It has become a haven for many Jews who say they have faced harassment in areas with growing Muslim populations. Galilli, 28, moved to the neighborhood this year from a Parisian suburb where “anti-Semitism is pretty high,” she said, “and you feel it enormously.” 8

“They spit when I walked in the street,” she said, describing reactions when she wore a Star of David.

France has a painful history of anti-Semitism, with its worst hours coming in the 1930s and during the German occupation in World War II. But in recent months, an impassioned debate has erupted over how to address what commentators are calling the “new anti-Semitism,” as Jewish groups and academic researchers trace a wave of anti-Semitic acts to France’s growing Muslim population.

Nearly 40 percent of violent acts classified as racially or religiously motivated were committed against Jews in 2017, though Jews make up less than 1 percent of France’s population. Anti-Semitic acts increased 20 percent from 2016, a rise the Interior Ministry called “preoccupying.”

The upside to Jews flooding your country with Moslems is that Moslems attack Jews on the street.

Kind of a weird dynamic there, I think.

Manuel Valls, France’s Socialist Prime Minister, recently uttered some dumb comments regarding the relationship between Jews and France.

Basically he asserted that the recent anti-Jew violence not only puts Jews in physical danger, but also the concept and values of the French Republic—Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité.

Here are Valls’s exact words, per The Atlantic:

“The choice was made by the French Revolution in 1789 to recognize Jews as full citizens … To understand what the idea of the republic is about, you have to understand the central role played by the emancipation of the Jews. It is a founding principle.”

…

“If 100,000 French people of Spanish origin were to leave, I would never say that France is not France anymore. But if 100,000 Jews leave, France will no longer be France. The French Republic will be judged a failure.”

The interests of the French people should be taken to heart, not the interests of the French Republic itself. But do you honestly expect a Socialist Party politician to uphold the interests of the French people? In Valls’s mind he may believe he’s doing so, but we know he’s not.

Recognizing Jews as full citizens was a terrible blunder of the French Revolution; the effects still pervade France and all Europe to this day. If Jews left France en masse, the French people will benefit.

If this had been a group of White people running around waving weapons about and chanting anti-immigrant slogans, every one of them would have been arrested by now and be looking at years inside.

Daily Mail:

A group of 150 Jewish men were seen brandishing iron bars and cans of pepper spray as they clashed with Pro-Palestinian demonstrators in Paris.

Video footage of the clashes show the group chanting racist slogans as they roamed the streets.

It came as President Francois Hollande warned that he did not want to see ‘the Israeli-Palestinian conflict imported into France’.

French Jewish groups have complained about an increase in anti-Semitism in recent months, with many accusing Muslim youths of targeting them.

But a video shot close to the Place de la Bastille on Sunday, and verified by police before being posted on YouTube, appears to show pro-Israel groups are also actively involved in clashes.

In Paris, CRS riot police did not arrest any of the group, thought to be linked to the Jewish Defence League, despite them openly fighting in broad daylight.

In the video, those amongst the group can be heard chanting ‘**** you Palestine’ as they smash up chairs and metal tables to be used as missiles.

The men are armed with gas canisters, pepper spray, metal bars and wooden sticks and some wear crash helmets.

The video shows the men running towards pro-Palestinian demonstrators, before skirmishes break out.

Six pro-Palestinian demonstrators were arrested on Sunday, accused of trying to break into two Paris synagogues. Two Jewish men were reportedly injured.
