The French Jewish community’s security service, Service de Protection de la Communauté Juive (SPCJ), confirmed that many Jewish-owned storefronts—particularly in Marseille—were set on fire or looted. A synagogue in Paris's 19th arrondissement was also ransacked.
Jews lived in Europe for two thousand years and never vandalized any city. What has been seen in France in recent days as a result of decades of importing poor people and radical Muslims is terrifying.
Tens of thousands of French Jews are seriously considering relocating to Israel (Aliyah), with official surveys indicating that roughly 40% of the community (approximately 200,000 people) are pondering the move due to a severe surge in antisemitism.
Organized efforts by groups like the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem (ICEJ) and the Jewish Agency for Israel continue to sponsor charter flights to handle the overflowing pipeline of applications.
While some media figures claimed Jewish businesses were singled out while others were spared, the SPCJ emphasized that the destruction appeared to be part of widespread, generalized chaos rather than systematic targeting. However, the prevalence of Palestinian flags and anti-Israel motifs among rioters has exacerbated anxieties
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently ordered an emergency joint plan alongside the Aliyah and Finance ministries to fund housing and aid for a massive wave of French immigration.
