Sense of Foreboding Grips French Jews in Aftermath of Supermarket Attack
For some French Jews, the terrorist assault on a kosher supermarket in Paris last week was the last straw.
They had remained steadfast for years despite frequent anti-Semitic taunts, beatings, mob attacks and firebombing of synagogues. But the incident on Friday made them realize that the situation is only getting worse, and that they are putting themselves and their loved ones at risk by staying in the country.
One young rabbi, who refused to be identified, told French newspaper Le Figaro that he does not know whether he will reopen his synagogue.
“It’s not even panic, it’s worse,” he said. “The people of the community do not dare leave their homes.”
Last week’s violence was the worst spasm of terrorism in France since the 1954-62 Algerian War. At least 17 French citizens were killed, first in a massacre at the Charlie Hebdo satirical newspaper, and then in a roadside shooting on Thursday and two standoffs on Friday.
“The Jew isn’t safe in France,” Daniel Corcos told the Wall Street Journal. “You go to buy food, and you’re dead.” Corcos said he has already bought a home near Tel Aviv and sent his children there. “If you think a lot of Jews left France last year, this year the number is going to be five times higher,” he said.
