The Jewish flight out of France

[Streathamite]

The Jewish Agency, the quasi-governmental body responsible for settling immigrants, reported a doubling in the number of French Jews who arrived last year and in 2002, to more than 2,000 each year, compared with about 1,000 a year in the previous three years. By contrast, worldwide immigration to Israel has sharply declined during the Arab-Israeli violence.

Michael Jankelowitz, a spokesman for the Jewish Agency, said that as a result of attacks against Jews in France in the past three years, many Jews, particularly those whose religion is evident from their clothes, were feeling increasingly uneasy. Much of the tension has centered in working-class suburbs of Paris where Jews and Muslims mingle.

After several years of declining aliyah (immigration to Israel) from France, the Jewish Agency for Israel has seen a 30 to 40 percent rise in inquiries this fall, according to Dov Puder, the director of its French office.

"It is too early to know how many immigrants we will have for the year 2001, but usually the fall is a down time for applications, and March and April are the busiest months," Puder explained. "This is why this year is remarkable."

yes, johnny, for the umpteenth fucking time, we are aware that less than .15 of the jewish population opf France left the country in that year...

Lets not base our debates on hunches, lets try and back our arguements up with factual evidence... If you want to make such a claim - back it up.

All the evidence I can find would discredit your "hunch", there is a large active right-wing in france, there is a large north african population (many of whom hold anti-semitic views), there is a history of synagogues getting desicrated and schools being burnt to the ground.

Here we go.

And this sort of thing doesn't happen here in the UK or elsewhere?

 

[guinnessdrinker]

oh la la!!!

so what's got to do with this alleged flights of Jews?

 

[guinnessdrinker]

That's not it. I think that french cut trousers, jeans etc for women are very flattering.

so, why would all these Jews be fleeiing, then? another contradiction exposed, mr Canuck!

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

And obviously you are yet again attempting to excuse your obnoxious behaviour by pretending humour.

I don't need to pretend it, I actually have it sometimes.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

yes, johnny, for the umpteenth fucking time, we are aware that less than .15 of the jewish population opf France left the country in that year...

Yes, but you seem to stop reading before you get to the part where the figures have doubled over previous years.

That's the 'increasing' part.

Maybe they hold conservative beliefs about women's apparel.

not in here, or at least not intentionally....

 

[guinnessdrinker]

but I thought you said they were leaving france because of antisemitism

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

I was responding to your attempt at humour.

No, that's just people being polite and/or pitying you and pretending to find your inane gibbering "humourous".

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Do you think my internal viewpoint is somehow dependent on validation by you or others?

Guess again, bucko.

 

[spring-peeper]

This

is in response to the post above it, namely

That's not it. I think that french cut trousers, jeans etc for women are very flattering.

which was in response to the post

has johnny started this whole thread because he doesn't like french fashion

.

Guess again, bucko.

Pity you've just made a total arse of yourself then.

You've just implied that in effect you neither require or receive external validation in the formulation of your inner being

Which makes you one of two things; a sociopath or a liar.

Which is it, "bucko"?

I said internal viewpoint, not internal being.

What that means, is I might regard something with humour, independent of what others say. I may find seriousness where other don't, etc.

Means I take my marching orders from me, not from your opinion of me.

Geddit?

So just to reiterate: the is no mass exodus of Jews from France...however, as has been pointed out on another thread, there is an exodus of US Jews to Israel.

 

[Streathamite]

Yes, but you seem to stop reading before you get to the part where the figures have doubled over previous years.

yes, they have doubled from a tiny starting base. 2x fuck all is still fuck all

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Three thousand out of 600,000 in one year isn't really fuck all.

If you extrapolate to the UK population of 60 million, it would be 300,000 emigrees in one year. And then again the next year.

Huh...are you suggesting that there are 60 million jews in the UK Johnny?

Which makes you one of two things; a sociopath or a liar.

Obviously both.

I'm still interested in finding out how many french nationals emigrate to Canada each year

Same here, perhaps Johnny would be so kind as to tell us...no, wait, he has to spin this into an anti-French story for his masters at the pro-Zionist lobby group he works for.

How many Jews did you say emigrated from France, Johnny?

I've just noticed that the formula that he uses to support his thesis is completely fucked. When it's pointed out to him, he changes the subject or tries to inject some 'humour' into things.
