It is laudable that the French government is so committed to protecting Jews in France on Yom Kippur, but was it really wise to bring into the country large numbers of people among whom would be many who might incline toward violence against Jews?
“Paris Attacker Says He Was Targeting ‘Charlie Hebdo’ Magazine,” VOA News, September 27, 2020:
…In an interview with France 2 television station, French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said the attack was “clearly an act of Islamist terrorism.”
On Sunday, Darmanin visited a synagogue and said more than 7,000 police and soldiers are protecting Jewish services as the Jewish holy day of Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, begins.
“Because we know that Jews are particularly targeted by Islamist attacks,” Darmanin told reporters, “we should obviously protect them.”…

Well said!

For Yom Kippur more than 7000 police and soldiers are protecting jewish services the french interior minister said . It sounds like he is applauding the efford of the french government for protecting the jewish community and it is certainly laudable on the part of the french government but that’s the least you can do after bringing in a large ammount of immigrants without proper vetting , immigrants that even after engaging in criminal behaviour by attacking churches and killing jews get seldomly deported and face almost no consequences while beeing dismissed as mentally ill . I say to all western countries and to the french interior minister that if you want appreciation for performing your duty by protecting the jewish community you are not gonna get it from me , I say you are reaping the fruits of your failed policies . And by the way who is paying for your failed policies , who is paying for this force of 7000 soldiers and police ? Of course time and again it’s the taxpayer who has to barge in for every mismanagement or failed policy of any governmental missconduct .

France probably has about 20,000 – 50,000 potential jihadists under surveillance now.
Any Muslim can read sermons about jihad and suddenly become ‘ACTIVATED’ as a jihadist.
The solution is not MORE surveillance, but for the French government to combat Islam IDEOLOGICALLY by convincing Muslims the Koran is of HUMAN ORIGIN.
Mount Zion says
I see the solution by stopping all immigration from muslim countries on grounds of incompatibility with western culture due to frequent attacks on churches , rape epidemic of western women , vehicular jihad on infidels , honor killings , sanctioning of child brides , FGM , and and and and . As to the muslims already in the West I’m in favour of zero tolerance with immediate deportation if they become engaged in criminal activities which would include also the above mentioned practices . As for your proposal to try to convince muslims that the kuran is of Human Origin , I say :”Good luck with that “.
cHECK bURRY says
They will stick to the “book” regardless of its origin.
Patricia Koenig says
I agree! Except I would deport all Muslims … even if they didn’t commit a crime.
Check Burry says
They seem to never look at the downside of any policy, always saying immigration is good, yes if right number & right quality is allowed in, then there is the dead fish thrown back, the butter mountain many years ago.

France: 7,000 cops and soldiers protecting Jews for Yom Kippur, as Jews ‘particularly targeted by Islamist attacks’
………………….
It could be worse, if France was doing nothing to protect Jewish people. But that this is necessary is deeply concerning–or should be to anyone paying attention.
revereridesagain says
Better would to begin to take steps to remove the source of the problem.
Red Pill says
+1
mortimer says
The ‘source’ of the problem as revere calls it is the BELIEF that the Koran is of DIVINE, rather than of HUMAN origin.
Michael Copeland says
Muslims a few years ago were marching through Paris holding an Islamic banner and shouting “Mort aux Juifs!” (Death to Jews!). France did nothing about it, a clear case of incitement to murder.
James Lincoln says
According to the feature article:
“more than 7,000 police and soldiers are protecting Jewish services as the Jewish holy day of Yom Kippur”
At a great financial cost – which could have been completely avoided if France had never allowed in muslim migrants…
