Edouard Philippe will never admit it, but here is why anti-Semitism in France is up 69 percent: the Qur’an depicts the Jews as inveterately evil and bent on destroying the well-being of the Muslims. They are the strongest of all people in enmity toward the Muslims (5:82); they fabricate things and falsely ascribe them to Allah (2:79; 3:75, 3:181); they claim that Allah’s power is limited (5:64); they love to listen to lies (5:41); they disobey Allah and never observe his commands (5:13). They are disputing and quarreling (2:247); hiding the truth and misleading people (3:78); staging rebellion against the prophets and rejecting their guidance (2:55); being hypocritical (2:14, 2:44); giving preference to their own interests over the teachings of Muhammad (2:87); wishing evil for people and trying to mislead them (2:109); feeling pain when others are happy or fortunate (3:120); being arrogant about their being Allah’s beloved people (5:18); devouring people’s wealth by subterfuge (4:161); slandering the true religion and being cursed by Allah (4:46); killing the prophets (2:61); being merciless and heartless (2:74); never keeping their promises or fulfilling their words (2:100); being unrestrained in committing sins (5:79); being cowardly (59:13-14); being miserly (4:53); being transformed into apes and pigs for breaking the Sabbath (2:63-65; 5:59-60; 7:166); and more. They are under Allah’s curse (9:30), and Muslims should wage war against them and subjugate them under Islamic hegemony (9:29).
“Anti-Semitism in France up 69 percent,” Arutz Sheva, November 9, 2018:
Anti-Semitic acts in France rose by 69 percent in the first nine months of 2018, Prime Minister Edouard Philippe said on Friday, as Jews in Europe and around the world marked the 80th anniversary of the infamous “Kristallnacht” Nazi pogrom against Jews.
“Every aggression perpetrated against one of our citizens because they are Jewish echoes like the breaking of new crystal,” Philippe wrote on Facebook, referring to the start of the Nazi drive to wipe out Jews on November 9, 1938, also known as the Night of Broken Glass, according to AFP.
“Why recall, in 2018, such a painful memory? Because we are very far from being finished with anti-Semitism,” he said, calling the number of acts “relentless”.
After a record year in 2015, anti-Semitic acts fell by 58 percent in 2016 and went down a further seven percent last year, however there was an increase in violent acts targeting Jews….
The government plans to toughen rules on hate speech online next year, pressuring social media giants to do more to remove racist and anti-Semitic content….

And in the UK? This is an edited extract from the introduction to a UK report of a year or so ago and available on line:-
“1. There was a 29% increase in police-recorded antisemitic hate crime in
England and some parts of Wales between 2010 and 2015, compared with a
9% increase across all hate crime categories.3 Between 2013–14 and 2014–15,
police-recorded antisemitic crime increased by 97%, compared with 26%
across all hate crime categories.
2. A survey of British Jewish people by the Institute for Jewish Policy Research
found that a fifth of respondents had experienced at least one incident of
antisemitic harassment during the previous 12 months. In 68% of cases,
comments had been encountered on the internet.
3. At one point during 2014, police informed the Labour MP Luciana Berger
that she had received over 2,500 abusive tweets in just three days, all using the
hashtag “filthyjewbitch”.6 Since walking out of the launch of the Chakrabarti
report in June, the Jewish Labour MP Ruth Smeeth has reportedly experienced
more than 25,000 incidents of abuse.
4. A recent survey found that one in ten voters believe that Jewish people have
too much influence in the UK; 6% disagree that “A British Jew would make
an equally acceptable Prime Minister as a member of any other faith”; and 7%
would be less likely to vote for a political party if its leader was Jewish…..”
And things have got considerably worse since 2015.
Going back 50 or so years, the fact that someone was of a jewish heritage would have been seen as totally inconsequential to virtually all the British public – in fact, hardly anyone either knew or would have cared that a number of leading personalities of the time were Jewish.
Going back to the 19th. century, when Great Britain was at its zenith, the country enjoyed the services of an excellent jewish Prime Minister, Benjamin Disraeli, without any significant problems of which I am aware (yet at least 6% would apparently have a problem with this now? Why might that be?)
In the 1930’s, citizens of London’s End End came out in force to oppose the efforts of Oswald Moseley who was indulging in antisemitic rabble-rousing on a Nazi ticket – and this was at a time when the indigenous locals were playing host to a sizeable Jewish influx. Strange to observe that in what is now the ‘Islamic Republic of ‘Tower Hamlets’ (the same area) our Jewish friends are no longer quite so happy. And what might be the reason for that?
It’s absolutely appalling that in both France and the UK our Jewish friends, who have made a proven contribution to the life of both countries over centuries, now feel the need to seek refuge elsewhere whilst the followers of Mohammed seek ‘refuge’ in their place. This has to be a coincidence, of course, because this kind of scandalous situation could never be attributed to the ‘Religion of Peace’, could it?

Here all along, I thought that the Nationalist French citizens were the problem.
Europe has had a history of anti-semitism ( whatever that is ), but I guarantee that the Muslims will make the Nazis and other European anti-Jewish groups look like puppy dogs once they take over and get on a roll.
I still say that a lot of European leaders down through the centuries encouraged Jewish settlements and ghettos so they could have a convenient scapegoat for their own screwed up policies. Sort of like Goldstein and the Book in 1984.

After mass Muslim migration into France, anti-Semitism is up 69%
…………………….
Yes–despite this all being blamed on the “right wing”, most anitsemitism in Europe is Muslim.
DHazard says
“In Europe, synagogues are protected like fortresses. It took decades to get there.”
“Before 2015, even at-risk synagogues like the Grand Synagogue of Marseille, France, had lax security and at times open doors. But the attacks in Paris that year prompted all but the most distant synagogues of Western Europe to abandon the open-door policy they used to have.
European synagogues by and large now employ a multilayered defensive doctrine of several threat circles in cooperation with law enforcement.”

How is Islam not a burden to the world? Could it be anything else.
Kelleigh Nelson says
Actually, Simon Wiesenthal Center was warning Jews to stay out of France over 25 years ago. It seems to have always held an anti-Semitic tone, but of course now it is even worse with the influx of the refugee filth.

You better get a handle on this tout suite, Edouard, because they’ll be coming for you next.
