- Anti-Semitism
|
Anti-Semitism seriously discredited France during the Second
World War. This has been gradually overcome with time but left
scars that rightly recall the drama of the Shoah. |
And now this evil we thought to be eradicated forever is on the
rise again. Anti-Semitism actions are multiplying: tombs are
vandalized, synagogues are burned down, and Rabbis are attacked.
A young student of 17 years old who was studying in a Talmudic
school has been severely wounded by a knife. His attacker is
reported to have said: "Allah Akbar". " God is
the Highest". |

- Certainly the Israeli-Palestinian conflict affects our
country. Violence is imported here. However that does not prevent
us from protesting and taking action. When a Jew is attacked,
a red alarm is on.
To attack a Jew is like attacking our rights, our liberty and
us as citizens. It is destroying our possibility to live together.
How is it possible to build Europe when anti-Semitism is on the
rise again?
"Future cannot be built on hatred", said rightly the
French President at the 60th anniversary of the Normandy landings.

France and Germany reconciled after a century of war that
caused so many losses. |
Recent anti-Semitism attacks have not stirred much the public
opinion and the representatives of Moslems in France were not
well heard. But anti-Semitism is not an opinion, it is a crime.
