Sharp rise in French Jews leaving for Israel
The number of French Jews emigrating to Israel rose nearly four-fold in the first quarter of the year and could touch a record in 2014, a Jewish organization said Monday.
The Jewish Agency for Israel, a global body responsible for the immigration and absorption of Jews into Israel, said 1,407 people left France for Israel between January and March against 353 people a year earlier.
"This phenomenon is speeding up" said Ariel Kandel, the head of the Jewish Agency's French chapter.
"We will not finish the year with four times more the number than in 2013 but if the current rhythm continues, there will be more than 5,000 French people leaving for Israel, something that has never happened since its creation in 1948," he said.
Kandel told Agence France Presse that the reasons for the hike in numbers were a "climate of anti-Semitism" and the prevailing gloomy economic situation in France.
France's Jewish community is one of the largest in Europe and pegged at around 500,000.
The number of French Jews leaving for Israel has been growing steadily. A total of 1,907 left in 2012 and it rose to 3,280 in 2013.
More than three million people have emigrated to Israel since 1948, including some 90,000 from France.
These are the people who never accepted Jesus Christ the Son of God as the Messiah. These are the people who are still waiting for the Messiah. These are the people who fulfilled the prophesy by killing Him on the cross and then He rose on the 3rd day just as the scriptures clearly are written (in the Old Testament). These people are evil to the core. Pls send them all to Israel. Send them from France, Ukraine, Germany, Italy, etc. Then once they are all settled unleash the Palestinians on them with stones. Let them all burn in Israel. For the world is better without this race. The whole monetary and fiat system has caused disasters and wars thanks to this race. They introduce everything evil had to offer to this world and convinced the world into adoring it (materialism, money, drugs, etc). The biggest trick the devil ever pulled was to convince the world he doesn't exist. Don;t worry Christ is coming again to wipe you and all evil in this world.
