Three quarters of Jews in France considering emigrating – The Jewish Federation Community News (formerly Jewish Sound)

With a rise in contemporary anti-semitism in France, a new survey reveals that 75% of Jews harbor a desire to leave the country. JTA reports today that, of the nearly four thousand Jews polled by Paris Siona organization of Sephardic French Jews, three quarters of French Jews said they have been considering emigrating. The rates in aliyah to Israel from France has increased over the last two years and none of this comes as a shock after the occurrence of several recent anti-semitic attacks on Parisian Jews.
