Time for the Jews to Leave France, and maybe Europe as well.

Over the last two years, violence against Jews has been rising in Europe. Many have been wondering if it is time for the Jews to migrate from Europe to America or Israel. It may be the early 2000's but it's looking more and more like the early 30's in Europe these days. History has shown that those who bless God's chosen people are blessed and those that curse them are cursed. As Evangelical Christians, we should support our Jewish Brethern and fight anti-Semitism wherever it may be found. Anti-Semitism is another form of rejection of God.

Anti-Semitic violence on rise in France

By Colin Randall in Paris(Filed: 22/03/2005)

The rise in anti-Semitism and vicious racism in France was thrown into shocking relief yesterday by a report showing the number of attacks at its highest level for years.
Eight months after the Israeli prime minister, Ariel Sharon, provoked uproar by urging all French Jews to emigrate, France's human rights commission (CNCDH) noted that almost two thirds of last year's incidents were against Jewish targets.
In some of the worst cases a teenager was stabbed outside his school, swastikas were daubed on tombstones and arsonists attacked a railway carriage commemorating French Jews sent to their deaths in Nazi camps.
Islamists and neo-Nazi sympathisers are considered responsible for most of the attacks on Jewish people and property, ranging from the desecration of cemeteries to physical violence.
Muslims are also increasingly the victims of attack and intimidation. The human rights commission report yesterday said attacks on Jews and Muslims doubled between 2003 and 2004.
