#AntiSemitisme #Judeophobia
The country’s half-a-million-plus Jewish community is the largest in Europe but has been hit by a wave of emigration to Israel in the past two decades, partly due to the emergence of virulent #AntiSemitism in predominantly immigrant neighborhoods.
“In our recent history, 11 Jews have been assassinated — and some tortured — by radical Islamists because they were Jewish,” the declaration said.

The murders referenced reach as far back as 2006.

Esta señora es Mireille Knoll. Tenía 85 años y había sobrevivido al Holocausto. El pasado viernes fue apuñalada en su casa de París y su cadáver carbonizado por el mero hecho de ser judía. La policía confirma el móvil antisemita. DEP, #MireilleKnoll.
Hay dos detenidos, de 22 y 29 años. Uno de los sospechosos tenía antecedentes. El otro era vecino de la víctima, que lo conocía desde que era pequeño y lo trataba como a un familiar (lo cuenta su hijo aquí ). La habría apuñalado gritando "Allahu Akbar".
Parte de la familia de Mireille se había ido de Francia por miedo ante el antisemitismo creciente en el país👇. Es una opción que cada vez toman más judíos.
