‘Every single French Jew I know has left Paris’: Editor of Britain’s Jewish Chronicle claims people are fleeing terror-hit French capital
Editor of Britain’s Jewish Chronicle claims people are fleeing Paris | Daily Mail Online.
- Stephen Pollard says terror attack on Kosher store in Paris is no ‘fluke’
‘Every single French Jew I know has either left or is actively working out how to leave’, he said - Experts believe that more than 100,000 French Jews have left since 2013
- France’s Chief Rabbi has said after a number of attacks on Jews in the past year: ‘Jews murdered were targeted specifically because they were Jewish’
- Policing stepped up across British Jewish areas, community body says
Mayor’s office has announced closure of shops in famous Jewish area
Mr Korsia said this was a ‘warning signal’ for France.
He said: ‘Jews have been killed and there were the shootings in Toulouse and in Brussels. In general, Jews feel vulnerable in our society.
‘The Jews who were murdered were targeted specifically because they were Jewish.
‘This means France hasn’t found the words and actions necessary to reassure them.’
Joel Mergui, lay chairman of the National Union of French Synagogues, added: ‘At some synagogues, whole benches are suddenly empty.’
Strasbourg-born banker Myriam Amsellem left France for London because the UK is ‘safer and freer’ than her home country, where she claims Jewish traditions were stopped.
She told the Jewish Chronicle last year: ‘We feel a lot more comfortable here. I look at France now and I know I would not want to be there.’
Today police across Britain were stepping up security in Jewish areas after the terror outrage in France, a community body said.
The Community Security Trust (CST), which provides security advice to Britain’s estimated 260,000 Jews, said police in London and Manchester in northern England had agreed to increase patrols at synagogues and other venues over the next days.
‘There is currently no known link to the UK, but CST is in continuing contact with police and government, and there will be increased policing in Jewish neighbourhoods for this weekend’s Sabbath,’ the trust said on its website.
Last July, the CST said anti-Semitic incidents in Britain had risen amid fighting between Israeli forces and Palestinians in Gaza.
