What has changed in France that there would be such an increase of antisemitic incidents?
Might it have something to do with the large number of people in France who believe these things? The Jews in the Qur’an are called 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).
“Antisemitic incidents in France increased by 75% in 2021,” by Cnaan Lipshiz, JTA, January 27, 2022:
Reports of antisemitic incidents in France increased by 75% in 2021, according to the French Jewish community’s main watchdog group.
SPCJ recorded 589 hate crimes against Jews last year, including a 36% increase in physical assaults over 2020. The group released its annual report Wednesday.
Incidents targeting people – as opposed to communal buildings and institutions – accounted for 45% of all incidents in 2021. Of those, 10% were physical assaults.
A quarter of all incidents happened inside or just outside the victims’ homes, typically perpetrated by a neighbor, SPCJ wrote, adding this was a new and worrisome phenomenon.
Use of weapons, mostly knives and guns, in antisemitic incidents was also unusually high in 2021, occurring in 20% of all assaults and 10% of all cases of intimidation, the report said.
In nearly a third of all cases, perpetrators indicated they were motivated by issues connected to Palestinians, the report added.
Dozens of incidents happened within the space of 11 days in May, when Israel and Hamas were exchanging fire amid rioting by Israeli Arabs and attacks on Arabs by Israeli Jews. During that period, SPCJ documented on average five antisemitic incidents per day.
Out of 160 incidents that SPCJ classified as “violent crimes,” 60 were assaults against people. There were three cases of arson and 68 incidents involving antisemitic vandalism. Additionally, SPCJ recorded 429 cases of what the group classified as “intimidation.”…

France: Antisemitic incidents increased by 75% in 2021
……………
A shocking figure. And yes–the only thing that has changed in France is the huge number of Muslims flooding in.
mortimer says
The more Western university professors and Leftist politicians criticize Israel, the more Jews will be persecuted and attacked by Muslims living in the West.
DEFEND ISRAEL’S RIGHT TO EXIST AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY.
Muslims hate Israel, merely because it is NOT ISLAMIC.
Johnny B says
And the “politically correct” still label Islam-critics as Nazi’s. The hypocrisy is beyond anything really, but unfortunately we cannot simply dismiss it, because these people are in control everywhere now whether it be in politics, business, or education. Even the military and the so called intelligence services are permeated with the crazy idea that you cannot say anything about Islam or connect it to terror or violence, so what’s to stop the rapidly increasing attacks on Jews in France and other places? Who’s safe?
mortimer says
Yes, the ‘NEW NAZIS’ are the Islamists who attacked civilian Jews going about their day-to-day lives as decent, nice people and good citizens.
‘Moderate’ Muslims who don’t condemn the bigoted violence are complicit in it.
Johnny B says
Yes, and anybody else who keep silent or even partake in the condemnation of so called “Islamophobes” like Robert Spencer for whatever reason.

The existence of Israel is just an excuse. If there were no Israel, they would have to invent one, or find another excuse to attack the Jews. Calling it a dispute over ZIONISM is a red herring. One could just as easily complain about all the countries that were conquered by Islam and then converted into Islamic countries. The fact that some Arab countries are interested in allying with Israel as a defense against Iran shows that the Palestinians will not be eternally supported by all Muslim countries. If the issue of Palestine had not been promoted by various interested countries, perhaps the Palestinians could simply have integrated into the countries they came from before they were Palestinians, including Egypt, Jordan, Syria or Iraq. Only some of them have roots in Israeli territory. Many came to Israel after it was working and generating jobs for them, or they were moved there by the Ottoman Empire. The problem is one of power. The Muslims in France need a target that can help in fighting Christians and Jews for power over the culture. Christians and Jews are a competing religious faith. Attacking them is a way of weakening French resistance to Islamization like other countries dominated by Muslim invasions, including India, Spain, Byzantium, the Balkans and Eastern Europe. Not all Muslims are imperialists, but even they can be mobilized as resources in the struggle for dominance. The Europeans are themselves to blame for not resisting the tide of migration. Cheap labor and other reasons to allow mass migration have created an impossible situation.
mortimer says
Partial disagreement with Jim. Without the State of Israel, Muslims would still hate Jews, but they would not use them as scapegoats to end the existence of Israel. They would ignore Jews for the most part as long as the Jews were invisible and silent and did not engage in high-profile jobs.
maria says
Yes muslims were the first antisemite already in the 7th century. Muslims from all countries cooperated with nazis during the WWII. Muslims are the worst creatures in the world and if the real people all over the world don´t fight them then the world and the whole planet will be destroyed

Mortimer, Muslims did not just ignore Jews before the existance of Israel. Jews were regularly attacked, robbed, persecuted, and murdered in Muslim lands.

tim gallagher says
This hatred of the Jews is just one aspect of the wonderful things that Muslims will bring to any country foolish enough to let them in, along with the rape gangs and all the other joys of multiculturalism when it comes to Islam. Barbaric Islam doesn’t belong in any civilised non-Muslim nation. There is nothing positive that Islam has to offer.
James Lincoln says
Suggest that Jews in the West take a page out of the movie “Nighthawks” (1981 film).
Have large numbers of black-belt karate experts dress up in traditional Jewish attire – and just wait.
Moving forward, muslims will never know who is the real Jew versus who is the black-belt dressed up as a Jew…

“Muslims hate Israel, merely because it is NOT ISLAMIC” – Very true Mortimer.
After WW II, De Gaulle wanted a United States of Europe to compete against America, and negotiated with the Arab League to allow Muslim immigration to European countries. This has now continued for more than 70 years, and France – and the rest of Europe – is now reaping the fruit of such stupidity. Read Bat Ye-or’s book ‘Eurabia’.
Muhammad hated the Jews because they did not believe that he was a prophet of God, nor would they accept his new religion Islam. After all, the Jews had their own religion Judaism for virtually 2,000 years before Mo had his hallucinations in the cave at Mt Hira.
The Jews had been hated by others before, including the Romans and Philistines. But what sets Islamic Jew hatred apart, is that Mo’s hatred for the Jews was written down for posterity in his holy book the Quran 1,400 years ago (as Robert has listed here) – and is a core tenet of Islam. Those verses have incited violence against the Jews ever since by many different groups – including the Nazis – and they still incite the psychopaths who run Islam today, particularly the Palestinians.
Those verses of violence will continue to inspire future generations of Jew haters as long as they remain part of that holy book. They should be relegated to the garbage bin of history where they belong. But then Islam would no longer be Islam, and might even become a genuine ‘religion of peace’.
Rarely says
Anti-Semitism in France (and throughout Europe) does not owe its origins on islam. Of course the recent increase is certainly related to the influx of muslims but the ground was fertile. Traditional European anti-Semitism is as old as the hills and in many ways has been much worse than the anti-Semitism practiced in muslim lands until relatively recent times.

Both strains of Jew-hatred are horrible.
cjk says
Serious question here. Is that 75% increase over the 75% increase in 2020 which was over the 75% increase in 2019 and so on?
I’m actually wondering what the long term increase is like say the 15 years from 2006 to 2021.
overman says
A big problem is those ‘ultra-orthodox’ jews in the picture to this post. Many of them are actually anti-israel and pro-palestine – there are many who tell palestine to keep on fighting lsrael [as in video below].
lt’s important not to mix these up with normal israeli jews.

overman, there is no doubt that there are some very foolish Jews–just as there are some deeply foolish Gentiles.
Jews make up about .006% of the French population–and of those 449,000 or so Jews, about 25,000 are Heredi (ultra orthodox) Jews. That would be about .0003% of the population. I don’t think this makes them a large enough number to be a big problem.
Actually, most Heredi Jews live in Israel itself. Some ultra-Orthodox Jews *are* opposed to the Jewish state on religious grounds, although not all. They think that the modern state of Israel is illegitimate because the Jewish Messiah has not come yet.
Jews who actually support Jihad terrorism and the destruction of Israel are quite rare, though–mostly the “Neturei Karta”, which is made up of just a few hundred ultra-Orthodox families, and numbers just about 5,000 world wide. They say they would be happy to live under Muslim rule–although most of them live in Israel, the US and the UK, *not* under Islam.
These idiots believe that Muslim violence towards Jews is only due to their “provoking” Muslims. They obviously understand nothing about Islam and the hatred of Jews it teaches.
