France’s Jews Have No Choice but Israel




TEL AVIV — There is extraordinary incongruity to Israel's intuitive reaction to fear assaults on Jews in Europe — and the wrecking assault a week ago on a fit market in Paris was the same.

Pack your effects! Escape! Escape, Israel urges the Jews of France.

A legislature that never misses a chance to address the Western world about the pitfalls of surrendering to terrorism is proposing precisely that — surrender — to the Jews of France.

Surrender emulated by movement to Israel, where surrender is impossible.


"The condition of Israel is your home," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the Jews of France, refraining from outrightly saying that they should leave and come to Israel as Prime Minister Ariel Sharon proposed 10 years prior.

"On the off chance that I need to prompt our siblings in France," Mr. Sharon said at the time, "I'll let them know one thing — move to Israel, as ahead of schedule as could reasonably be expected." President Jacques Chirac responded irately and pronounced Mr. Sharon persona non grata.

It's reasonable why the French take offense. The call for movement to Israel is a vote of no trust in France's capacity to ensure its own particular residents. Mr. Netanyahu was cautious in bundling his message a week ago, yet the French still didn't need him at Sunday's gigantic walk in Paris and they just reluctantly acknowledged his vicinity.

Parts of Mr. Netanyahu's legislature were, of course, less conciliatory.

An Israeli agent clergyman, Ofir Akunis of the Likud gathering, approached French Jews to "return" to Israel. Agent Minister Eli Ben-Dahan of the Jewish Home gathering let them know, "Your spot is with us."

The movement alternative has gotten to be significantly more maintained as of late. A year ago more than 6,000 French Jews moved to Israel, more than from some other nation, and the potential for development is noteworthy.

They have their reasons. Against Semitic episodes have turned into a consistent event in France. The surge in assaults is decently archived, as is the declining suspicion that all is well and good of French Jews. Also the French government doesn't appear to know how to end this dangerous methodology.

Empowering Jews from all nations to move to Israel is in Israel's DNA, and Israel could significantly profit from an inundation of French settlers. In any case Israeli pioneers should stop before requiring a mass departure of French Jews.

Does the Jewish state need to effectively help finishing numerous several years of French Jewish history? Would it like to pass on the message that yes, as the terrorists contend, there is no spot for Jews in France? Would it like to infer that French endeavors to ensure Jews have been a disappointment? Does it need the world to see dreadful Jews escaping from Europe as a group once more?

France is home to an incredible Jewish human advancement, the third-biggest Jewish group on the planet — a Jewish group in a Western, liberal nation that is by all accounts into a bad situation.

Also we now live in our current reality where lately individuals have agonized unemotionally, practically indifferently, over the inquiry of whether the Jews "have a future" in France.

If not France, where? What's more if not a future, what?

Israel trusts it has the answer. Jews can escape the fear of radical Islamists in France, to discover protect in a spot where the dread of radical Islamists is as standard as baguettes and Bordeaux.

In the event that these Jews come to Israel and face fear, they will be urged to stay, to show to the foe the significance of a hardheaded individuals. Israel, in the account that is sold to French Jews nowadays, is the place Jews make their last stand.

It is deplorable to witness an incredible Jewish group in an extraordinary nation gradually losing its capacity to flourish in an antagonistic and vicious environment. Also it is sad that all the Jewish state brings to the table them is break.

Toward the end of Mr. Netanyahu's visit to Paris, he went to a function in a synagogue, where the jam spontaneously broke into tune taking after his comments. Anyway they weren't singing in Hebrew; they were singing France's national hymn, "La Marseillaise." One marvels what they were supposing when they arrived at the animating tune, "Aux armes citoyens!" And if these subjects one day rise up to safeguard themselves, will they do so as French nationals or as Israelis?

On Sunday, France's president, François Hollande, made clear how he sees the circumstances. He apparently promised to Jewish pioneers that he would take all vital measures to shield them, including sending the armed force.

Yet it is an annihilating prospect that in 2015 the Jews of France may need officers to shield them from hostile to Semitic brutality.

For the four Jews who were executed at a Paris market, Israel will be their last resting spot.

If the route for Jews to live in France today is behind garisson huts and watchmen with weapons, maybe it bodes well not only for the dead to go to Israel, additionally for the living to move to a spot where we are the gatekeepers, we are the armed force and we are the government.
