French Jews fear they may have “no future” in the country after the far-left’s victories in the parliamentary elections over the weekend.
As Breitbart News reported, French President Emmanuel Macron’s alliance with the New Popular Front delivered a victory over the Marine Le Penn’s populist right, which has sparked concerns about rising antisemitism.
Moshe Sebbag, a rabbi for the Synagogue de la Victoire, told the Times of Israel that “it seems France has no future for Jews” while advising young Jews in the country to leave for Israel.
“But people my age, who are 50, 60, we’ve made our life here and we fear for the future of our children,” he said.
While Moshe Sebbag certainly did not welcome the New Popular Front victories, he ultimately lamented about the mainstreaming of antisemitism in general.
French-Jewish philosopher Bernard-Henri Lévy said this weekend’s victories mark a rise in the “new antisemitism.”
“The left is once again kidnapped by the infamous Melenchon. Divisive language. Hate of the republic on the lips. Around him right now are some incarnations of the new antisemitism. A chilling moment. A stain: Continue to fight against these people,” French-Jewish philosopher Bernard-Henri Lévy wrote on X.
Jean-Luc Melenchon, leader of the France Unbowed far-left party, or LFI, previously called French Jews “an arrogant minority that lectures to the rest” and is even “on record in an earlier speech as celebrating anti-Israel protesters days after some of them stormed a synagogue, condemning in that speech only French Jews who demonstrated to show solidarity with Israel,” according to the outlet.
“Melenchon’s victory is a terrible signal of impunity sent to the anti-Jewish Islamo-Faschists,” wrote French-Jewish journalist Yohann Taieb on X.
Karys Rhea, a producer with the Epoch Times, said on X that the rise of Melenchon will lead to more stable unrest for Jews.
“This will be a disaster for the Jews, because Macron will have to sit with Melenchon, who will essentially be the deal breaker and demand a lot from Macron. Melenchon is a cut-throat, power-hungry, fierce communist- almost Antifa level. So, Macron has a serious problem, as there is no history in post-war France of sharing that kind of power. I believe Jews will leave in the tens of thousands,” she wrote.
Much like the United States and other parts of the West, France has seen an uptick in antisemitism since the October 7 attack in Israel at the hands of Hamas last year. As Breitbart News reported just last month, “the Jewish community in France was left horrified as a 12-year-old girl in Courbevoie was subject to antisemitism-inspired gang rape by a group of boys, who are alleged to have dragged her to an abandoned building where they anally and vaginally raped her.” source
Going to be that way in many countries. If they cheat and lie here in the United States and put Michelle Obama, and then Obama has another four years, that gives Obama four more years and his fourth term and no one will be safe here in America not Jews not Christians not the poor. Pray for God‘s blessing over this election may we pray for a leader we need who will protect America and all Americans except the criminals. Not a leader that we deserve who is lawless and will finish the job of destroying this great nation not sure they’ll be any place safe for Jews just Israel very sad to say but my heart is breaking every time I see they’re going to put Michele in. We know we’re going to have Obama again and he hates America. He hates Christians. He hates Jews so we better get on our knees and cry out to the Lord that He has mercy on us and even in there cheating Trump still comes out on top, and then we pray that these antifa and Black Lives Matter, and these fools don’t burn down our nation. That there will be somebody in office that will put them in prison and keep them there like January 6 people who did nothing wrong. Geri, I pray for the Jews all over the world.
Thank you, sis, for your comments. We can only rely on our Lord Jesus. I pray that He is coming soon to gather us away from this horrible place. We will be in our Real home with our brethren and the Lord Jesus Christ. What a day that will be!!! We must pray for the people of Israel – most will be here in Tribulation. The Antichrist will be here deceiving SO MANY. But Jesus will crush him and many in Israel will finally realize that JESUS IS LORD OF ALL!!!
