France without Jews is no longer

the tragic events that we have experienced have left their mark on us, our country and our consciences. But we must be able to quickly, always provide a clear diagnosis of the state of our society is and what they need. 

The first issue that we have to deal with, that's obvious, is the fight against anti-Semitism. The history it shows us the awakening of anti-Semitism is the symptom of a crisis of democracy, of the Republic. Therefore, we must vigorously respond to.

Since Ilan Halimi in 2006, since the crimes in Toulouse, there is an unacceptable increase in anti-Semitic acts in France: statements, insults, cowardly attacks like in Creteil few weeks ago, that I have said in this House before, not have aroused the indignation had expected our Jewish compatriots. There is an immense anxiety, fear that we have experienced, we have felt, sat in the crowd for that kosher supermarket at the Port de Vincennes, or the Synagogue Victory Sunday night.

 How can we accept that in France, for two centuries the land of the emancipation of the Jews, but, seventy years ago, that of its martyrs, how can we accept that we hear in our streets: death to the Jews? How can we accept that French people are killed because they are Jew? How can we accept that a Tunisian citizen that his father had sent to France so that he would be safe if he dies, will buy his bread for Shabbat because he is Jewish.

 That is unacceptable.

Against the national community that may not have responded, against our Jewish compatriots I say that we can not accept this time, we have come up against it. We have to make the correct diagnosis: there is anti-Semitism that we describe as historic, that comes up again for centuries.

 But there is mainly that new anti-Semitism that was born in our neighborhoods against the background of the Internet, satellite dishes, misery and contempt of the State of Israel, which preaches hatred of all Jews.

We have to say! We need to articulate to combat this unacceptable anti-Semitism. As I said earlier, as Minister Ségolène Royal has said this morning in Jerusalem, such as Claude Lanzmann wrote it in a wonderful contribution in Le Monde, yes, we say it is against world: without the Jews of France France France would be no more.

The message we should all carry out loud and clear. We did not say it, we're not outraged enough. How can we accept that in some cases, institutions and schools, we can not teach what the Shoah.





How can we accept that a boy of 7 or 8 years to whom the teacher asks "who is your enemy 'replies: that is the Jew. Who is attacking the Jews of France, France attacks, and is thus the universal conscience. Let us never forget '! Yesterday Valls responded to the call by Prime Minister Netanyahu to European Jews to settle in Israel: "The place where French Jews belong is France. A Jew who departs from France, is a part of France that disappears. "
