Itâ€s ironic that French Jews should be immigrating to Quebec, the heart of antisemitism in Canada.

Well I suppose that their view of Israel's future is that it doesn't look so bright especially after Rice's 'Mexicanization' of their borders with the Palestinians. It is now even more noticeable, with the hindsight of the past 5 months, that Bush has neutered UN resolution 242 on the borders, given Abbas pass after pass on cleaning out the terrorists but insisted on Israel conforming to his Roadmap. The feeling of anyone with some eyesight is that sinking one. Maybe those French Jews' descendents in Quebec will witness a flood of Israeli Jews if the arabist's policies are brought to fruition.

I wish I could remember who said it: “Europe used to have a minority that was generally creative, law-abiding, and hard working. They got rid of it. Now they have the minority they deserve.”

French Antisemitism: Getting Worse

This is indeed appalling… and I fear very much that we are hearing the death-knell of France as we know it. […]

As I’ve said before, Jews are the canaries in the coal mine. What happens to French Jews will soon happen to the French en masse. …

“Jew-baiting is but one bit of the ethnic disaster occurring in France today, but it is a telling bit: chiefly a case of entrenched European anti-Semitism against Arabs — who, let’s not forget, are Semites, too — helping kindle a violent anti-Semitism against Jews.”

Note the spurious assertion that antisemitism applies to Arabs. Nothing could be further from the truth. It means judenhass and neve meant anything else. Nor is the Arabs’ antisemitic attacks on Jews in France the rresult of all too real French bigotry towards Arabs, but springs directly from their own bigotry and the Arabs slide into the most grotesque antisemitic ideological fantasies.

It’s ironic that French Jews should be immigrating to Quebec, the heart of antisemitism in Canada. It’s all the more ironic that they go there out of the ingrained snobbery of the French towards America, the country that has been best for the Jews of all those in the world. In Quebec they are all too likely to find their enemies following them.
