French Jews Flee To Israel In Record Numbers To Escape Rising Anti-Semitism In Europe
The number of French Jews immigrating to Israel rose from 1,900 in 2011 to nearly 8,000 last year.
Yael Haccoun and her family are Orthodox Jews from the working-class Paris suburb of Sarcelles, but they flew to Israel in late September to start a new life and escape the anti-Semitism around them.
“And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the country.” Ezekiel 34:13 (KJV)
“French people think that it’s natural when Jews are targeted” in terror attacks, said Haccoun, 33, as she waited with her husband and their three children here at the airport. “The fact that the army must protect Jewish schools and synagogues isn’t normal.”
She said her family watched in horror in July 2014 as a demonstration protesting Israel’s war with Hamas turned into an anti-Semitic rampage. Dozens of young men chanting ‘Allahu Akbar’ in Arabic and “death to the Jews” attacked Jewish-owned businesses with clubs and fire bombs.
Why 10,000 French Jews Will Move to Israel This Year:
The number of French Jews immigrating to Israel rose from 1,900 in 2011 to nearly 8,000 last year, said Jacques Canet, president of La Victoire, the great synagogue of Paris. He said the country’s 500,000 to 600,000 French Jews — the third largest Jewish population in the world — “feel threatened.”
“Increasingly, Jews in Paris, Marseilles, Toulouse, Sarcelles feel they can’t safely wear a kippah (yarmulke, or skull cap) outside their homes or send their children to public schools, where Muslim children bully Jewish children,” Canet said.
A poll by the French Institute of Public Opinion in January showed 43% of France’s Jewish Community are considering a move to Israel, and 51% said they have “been threatened” because they are Jewish.
Those with enough money have moved to more upscale areas within France or to Canada, England or the United States, Canet said. The wealthy, staunch Zionists and those who can’t afford to send their children to private Jewish schools go to Israel.
Moshe Sabbag, rabbi of La Victoire, believes “100%” of France’s Jews are thinking of moving, but that prospect is daunting. The majority of France’s Jews immigrated to France in the 1950s and 1960s from North African Muslim countries.
French Jews “love France, they love French culture, they want to stay,” Sabbag said just before leading Friday night services at the synagogue. “But Jews were targeted during huge demonstrations against the 2014 Gaza war. They were killed in Toulouse and Hypercacher,” he said, referring to the 2012 attack on a Jewish school that killed four people and the 2015 attack on a kosher Paris supermarket that left four dead. Muslim extremists carried out both attacks.
Although 2015 was a record year for French immigration to Israel, the numbers this year are lower. As of August 2016, 40% fewer Jews had arrived, compared to the same period last year, according to the Jewish Agency for Israel.
Dov Maimon, a senior fellow at the Jewish People Policy Institute, a think tank, said there are a number of reasons for the decline.
“First, Jews in France are feeling more secure because the (French) prime minister has beefed up security around Jewish institutions, while the increase in terror attacks this winter in Israel may have scared off some people. It may also be that the most ideologically driven Jews have already immigrated,” Maimon said.
The biggest factor, Maimon said, “is that the Israeli prime minister promised French Jews he would take care of them if they came to Israel. They believed Israel would provide them with jobs and housing, but France is a welfare state. Israel is not.”
He pointed out that 100 French immigrant families have returned to France so far this year.
Despite some governmental and agency assistance, “they didn’t find jobs, their kids didn’t learn Hebrew, and French Jews still in France say, ‘I don’t want to be like them.’”
Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein believes the assistance is making a difference. Eckstein, founder of the International Fellowship for Christians and Jews, said his group provided plane tickets, $1,000 and other services to 700 new French immigrants during the past two years, including 70 people on the Haccouns’ flight.
“Our volunteers meet every person who arrives. We help them find a place to live and a school for their children. We help them write a resume and pay for day care so they can look for a job,” Eckstein said.
In the Sarcelles suburb, Rabbi Yaakov Bitton, head of an Orthodox Jewish elementary school, asked his students to raise their hands if their families planned to move to Israel. Almost every child did.
“Twenty years ago there were 30,000 Jews in Sarcelles. Today there are 15,000,” Bitton said. Despite the exodus, Bitton’s son Mendel, who is also a rabbi, is building a yeshiva in the town. “We believe that there is a future for Jews here,” Mendel Bitton said.
Toulouse residents Michelle Aiache, 65, and her husband Roger, 71, left for Israel from Paris on the same flight as the Haccoun family.
Security fears played a role in their decision to move, but “the main reason is because our three children and all five grandchildren live in Jerusalem,” Michelle Aiache said. “We’re not fleeing from France. We’re going to Israel.” source

QUELLE HORREUR!! The French Government Has Just Been Toppled By The Far Right And Far Left, Where Does This Leave Our ‘Man Of Sin’ Emmanuel Macron?
Is this the end for Emmanuel Macron? French president facing calls to RESIGN after gov collapses & he’s left looking for 6th PM
For nearly 8 years, NTEB has been tagging French president Emmanuel Macron for the spot of the biblical ‘man of sin’ for reasons laid out in our article on him being the Assyrian. At multiple junctures during this period, Macron has been brought to the brink of ruin time and time again, only to rise up from the ashes more powerful than he was before. Yesterday in France, the people who populate the rather lengthy list of his enemies conspired together to topple the French government, and down it has come. What happens now?
“O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is mine indignation.” Isaiah 10:5 (KJB)
Not being a prophet and possessing zero psychic ability, I can only guess like all of you can, but I will say this. There is ‘something special’ about Emmanuel Macron, and I think he will figure this very dire situation out in short order. But even if he does not, he will not be at the ‘end of the road’ as I feel he is foreordained to ‘higher office’. Right now, 64% of French citizens want Macron out, but I am betting he is not fazed in the least. Emmanuel Macron is a man of destiny, and he will come up with the answers. He always does. Besides, being president of France is only the first step.

French President Emmanuel Macron is clinging onto power after another damaging political blow saw his government left in disarray.
FROM THE SUN US: His government collapsed last night after a historic vote of no-confidence was passed against Prime Minister Michel Barnier in the National Assembly. Macron is now on the hunt for his sixth PM during his stint as president but it comes amid calls for him to ultimately resign. The president has constantly vowed to serve out his term until 2027 despite his political rivals now calling for him to step down immediately.
The deputy of the far-left La France Insoumise party, Manuel Bompard, claimed today that Macron must leave to regain a sense of stability in Paris.
He told RTL France: “We are facing a situation of instability. I do not see, given the configuration of the National Assembly and the inability to compromise, a stable situation emerging.”
He also warned the next PM that they are walking into a poisoned seat. Bompard is adamant that another Macron ally shouldn’t be gifted the prestigious role like before as all it does is reinforce France’s “democratic problem”.
Far-right leader Marine Le Pen has also blasted Macron for failing to step aside and says he is going to “sacrifice the fate of France because of his vanity”.
Outgoing Barnier has already met with Macron today and is expected to formally announce his resignation later today. The 73-year-old former EU Brexit negotiator was only appointed in September – making him the shortest serving prime minister in French history.
Macron is also due to address the nation in a televised speech, according to the Elysee presidential palace.
The latest polls out of Paris say the people feel they are entering a period of politics that is incapable of ever moving forwards under a Macron government. Almost two-thirds of French citizens say they are in favour of him handing in his resignation, according to a Toluna-Harris survey for RTL. A staggering 64 per cent of respondents agreed Macron should step aside immediately. READ MORE

BLITZKREIG! Germany Is Preparing To Reactivate Their World War 2 Bomb Shelters To Protect Their Citizens As NATO Warns Of Coming ‘Wartime Scenario’
Germany is drawing up a list of bunkers that could provide emergency shelter for civilians, with NATO warning at a time of rising tensions with Russia.
Donald Trump still has 56 days until he is sworn in as president of the United States, and by that time, he could easily be assassinated or World War 3 could be underway. A top NATO military official on Monday urged businesses to be prepared for a wartime scenario and adjust their production and distribution lines accordingly, in order to be less vulnerable to blackmail from countries such as Russia and China. Starmer in the UK and Emmanuel Macron in France are preparing to send in ground troops to Ukraine.
“The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.” Psalm 55:21 (KJB)
Remember back in the days right before the lockdowns? Everyone was whispering that something might be coming, could be coming, and then – WHAMMO!! – there it was. How long have we been doing the same with this seemingly inevitable buildup to World War 3 we’ve been watching and are watching unfold right now? The US Federal Emergency Management Agency has released a spine-chilling survival guide for a nuclear attack amid the escalating Ukraine conflict and intensifying Middle Eastern disputes. Echoing Cold War-era preparedness, the agency’s updated advice aims to shield Americans from the horrors of a nuclear explosion. World War 3 is absolutely coming, it’s only a question of when.
Germany draws up list of bunkers amid Russia tensions as NATO warns
FROM THE GUARDIAN UK: The list would include underground train stations and car parks as well as state buildings and private properties, a ministry spokesperson said. A digital directory of bunkers and emergency shelters will be drawn up so people can find them quickly using a planned phone app. People would also be encouraged to create protective shelters in their homes by converting basements and garages, the spokesperson told a press briefing.
He declined to give a timetable, saying it was a big project that would take some time, involving the Office of Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance and other authorities.
The country of 84 million people has 579 bunkers, mostly from the second world war and the cold war era, which can provide shelter for 480,000 people, down from about 2,000 bunkers previously.
The spokesperson said the key points of the plan were agreed at a conference of senior officials in June and a special group was looking into it.
Since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, concerns have been growing about Moscow’s potential to target other NATO members. In October, German intelligence chiefs warned that Russia would probably be capable of launching an attack on the military alliance by 2030. German officials say the country is already experiencing a sharp rise in Russian spying and sabotage activities. Last week the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, said the conflict in Ukraine had characteristics of a “global” war and he did not rule out strikes on western countries. READ MORE

Flush With Cash From The Biden Administration, Ukraine Is Now Saying They Have The Capability To Produce A ‘Homemade Nuke’ To Fight Russia With
Ukraine has the resources and expertise to indigenously produce a large quantity of nuclear weapons at short notice if it was forced to do so, a briefing document meant for top government figures allegedly says, a report states.
Today, Biden administration Secretary of State Antony Blinken talked, bragged actually, about the massive amount of money the United States is planning on funneling, some would say laundering, to Ukraine in their endless war with Russia. It’s already at $8.5 billion since September, with many more billions to follow. What is Ukraine doing with that money? Making homemade nuclear bombs to attack Russia with.
“But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.” Luke 21:9 (KJB)
The west and NATO continue to do this funny, little dance that draws us ever closer to WWIII, not the least of which is a proxy war being waged through Ukraine against Russia. If Ukraine actually starts building ‘homemade nukes’ it can only end in disaster. The fact that the outgoing Biden administration is bragging about the obscene amounts of money being given to Ukraine, in light of the very sparse support for Americans after things like hurricanes and floods, is beyond appalling. This is one of the main reasons why Donald Trump won in a landslide, to return some sense of normalcy to Washington, if such a thing can actually be done. There are still another 67 days left in the Biden administration, and they can still do a lot of damage.
Ukraine Believes it Can Build its Own Nuclear Bombs From Spent Fuel Rods in Months: Report
FROM BREITBART NEWS: A briefing produced for the Ukrainian defence ministry allegedly explaining to policy makers that the country could rapidly develop rudimentary nuclear bombs from spent fuel rods and long-range ballistic missiles to carry them states this could be achieved in just months.
Claimed as an exclusive by The Times of London, the document is presented by the newspaper as illustrating a potential backstop for the country to defend itself from the Russian Federation if the United States under a Trump Presidency withdrew military support. President Trump has made clear he wishes to bring peace to Europe quickly, but has not yet revealed how. Many of the options open to him do not align with the official Kyiv policy as the only acceptable end to the war being total victory over Russia.
Antony Blinken: “Every dollar (billions) we have at our disposal will be pushed out the door to Ukraine between now and January 20th.” This while FEMA is telling workers to not assist Trump supporters devastated by the last hurricane in Florida. pic.twitter.com/52taC3RyfP
— Now The End Begins (@NowTheEndBegins) November 14, 2024
The paper cites key lines from the report, written for the Ukraine government’s Centre for Army, Conversion and Disarmament Studies by Oleksii Yizhak, a senior leader at the National Institute for Strategic Studies, also a government think tank, both of which work in an official capacity advising the Presidency of Ukraine. It allegedly notes: “Creating a simple atomic bomb, as the United States did within the framework of the Manhattan Project, would not be a difficult task 80 years later”.
“I was surprised by the reverence the United States has for Russia’s nuclear threat. It may have cost us the war… They treat nuclear weapons as some kind of God. So perhaps it is also time for us to pray to this God.”
The degree to which the briefing was solely meant for the illumination of top Ukrainian cabinet ministers — given the dissemination of key paragraphs in a widely-read English newspaper — or is partly intended as a veiled threat to both Moscow and Washington D.C., is naturally hard to immediately ascertain. Certainly, the Ukrainian government communicated a rebuttal overnight, stating the country was bound by a nuclear non-proliferation treaty. Yet this denial came without addressing the actual points in the briefing that the authors believe the country has legal grounds to unilaterally withdraw from those obligations, given it could claim other partners haven’t honoured it.
Whatever the truth, it is certain that the emergence of a new rogue nuclear state willing to use unsophisticated, low-yield nuclear weapons in Eastern Europe to defend its sovereignty from an aggressor would be not well received by Western capitals, and least of all by European nations threatened by drifting fallout clouds.
