Anti-Semitism in France

The words of a Muslim protestor in Toronto send a wake up call to the west. But who is seriously listening? Mark Steyn has a column today that points to two recent murders of Jews by Muslims in France. Here is a key quote:

A lot of folks are, to put it at its mildest, indifferent to Jews. In 2003, a survey by the European Commission found that 59 percent of Europeans regard Israel as the "greatest menace to world peace." Only 59 percent? What the hell's wrong with the rest of 'em? Well, don't worry: In Germany, it was 65 percent; Austria, 69 percent; the Netherlands, 74 percent. Since then, Iran has sportingly offered to solve the problem of the Israeli threat to world peace by wiping the Zionist Entity off the face of the map. But what a tragedy that those peace-loving Iranians have been provoked into launching nuclear armageddon by those pushy Jews.


Steyn asks the question, "in five years how many Jews will be living in France"? That is the right question. Last November I was in Jerusalem and was visiting the landmark Jerusalem YMCA. Directly behind the YMCA you could see high rise condo going up. The director of the YMCA told me that most of the units had already been purchased. Most of the buyers were wealthy Jews from France. They are planning their place of escape when life in France becomes intolerable.

The Steyn column is a must read. Then check out this past article from World News and Prophecy, "The Rising Sector of Anti-Semitism."
