In the current crisis there is no work for many Roma, and no welfare, they are reduced to living in makeshift camps, many dont have enough money to get back to thier homeland the Govt. is offering them free flights and 300 euros

Well, I am no expert on the immigration of Europeans, etc. but "rounding people up and sending them away" certainly sounds familiar. Was gypsies the last time too, huh?

France ought to do much, much better. I'm cancelling my Chanel order in protest.

You have never seen how they treat their African refugees have you? It's like a Jewish ghetto out of Nazi Germany. France is the hell hole of Europe, just don't tell the socialist nut cases that live there that though as they consider themselves morally superior to Americans and the rest of the world.

Jews fleeing Paris suburbs for ‘ghettos’ where life is safer

By Devorah Lauter

VILLEPINTE, France (JTA)—Rabbi David Altabe looks older than his 27 years when he talks about the future of the Jewish community in this working-class suburb of Paris.
Altabe leans his elbows on a table set for the Sabbath and sinks his furrowed brow in his palms.
“We do what we can, but it’s hard,” he says. “I don’t know why I stay. I ask myself that question all the time.”
Over a period of just three years, roughly half the Jewish families in Villepinte have left. Some have gone to other suburbs or Paris neighborhoods considered safer for Jews; a few have left the country.
Of 300 families three years ago, only 150 remain today, community president Charly Hannoun estimates. The reason, he says, is anti-Semitism.
Now Villepinte’s 40-year-old synagogue, which was torched in 1991 and 2001, is at risk of closing because there are barely enough regulars for a minyan. Jewish community leaders are wondering if Jews have a future here.
“It’s a whole history that’s being erased,” says Hannoun, who worked with contractors and friends to build the town’s synagogue. “It’s the end of the synagogue, and I say that with rage in my heart.”
Villepinte is one stark example of what is happening to many Jewish communities in the immigrant-heavy suburbs of the Seine-Saint-Denis region, north of Paris.
Scarred by the surge in anti-Semitism that swept through France between 2000 and 2005, roughly two-thirds of the mostly Sephardic Jews who once lived in these close-knit communities have left town.
Sammy Ghozlan, the president of the Seine-Saint-Denis Council of Jewish Communities, says more than 16,000 Jews have moved out of the suburbs since 2001. Left behind are synagogues weighing whether to close and mostly poor, elderly and religious Jewish families.
Experts say the Jewish flight from the suburbs is changing the demographics of France’s Jewish community and increasing the ghettoization of Jews in the country.
All of France is experiencing the problem, says University of Paris sociologist Shmuel Trigano, the author of “The Future of the Jews in France.”
“It is a general shift, not a passing crisis,” Trigano says. “The Jewish community is becoming a ghetto. It is no longer a community of choice but a community of necessity. In a democracy that shouldn’t happen.”
Though increased security has helped reduce anti-Semitic crime in France, bringing the level of anti-Jewish incidents in poorer suburbs down to the levels in Paris, the change has come too late for many suburban Jews fed up with worrying about what might happen.
Altabe says he recently had a glass bottle thrown at him from a passing car while walking with his 3-year-old child.
“If you hit us over the head enough times, we’ll protect ourselves,” says Marc Djebali, the president of the Sarcelles Jewish community, north of Paris.
Djebali says the Sarcelles community of 10,000 Jews lost about one-fifth of its population over the last decade.
“We don’t attack,” he says. “The Jews just take their bags and they go.”
Jews from the northern suburbs who are wealthy enough to live in Paris are moving to eastern Paris and its suburbs, where anti-Semitism is minimal and Jewish schools are available.
“By the next generation there will be practically no more Jews in the northern Paris periphery,” says Maurice Robert Fellous, the president of the Jewish community in Noisy-le-Sec, a northern Paris suburb. “In 25 years we’ll have to sell our synagogue.”
Since 2000, nearly 40 percent of Noisy-le-Sec’s school-aged Jewish families have pulled their children from area public schools and enrolled them in Jewish institutions, Fellous says.
He attributes the shift to the area’s general anti-Jewish environment and specific incidents students have encountered, such as being beaten up and subjected to insults and taunts. Many regularly hear the cry “dirty Jew!”
This shift to Jewish schools is apparent in many places in France, albeit to a lesser degree than in Noisy-le-Sec.
Exact numbers are hard to access because by law, public schools cannot identify or count their Jewish students.
Patric Petit-Ohayon, the director of the education department at the Jewish community social welfare umbrella group, the Jewish Unified Social Funds, says Jewish school enrollment in the northern Paris suburbs increased rapidly during the 2000-2005 period.
In moving their children to Jewish schools or their families out of the suburbs, many Sephardic families make a direct comparison between this migration and their families’ flights from North Africa some 40 years ago.
“They chased us from Algeria and they followed us here,” Robert Sebbane, 81, says of the North African Muslims responsible for much of France’s anti-Jewish crime.
In 2000, “we were shocked because we didn’t think this would happen here,” says Sebbane, who lives in the town of Creteil.
Even in Seine-Saint-Denis, which community leaders say is a comparatively safe area, Jewish residents are subject to anti-Semitic taunts and youths regularly spit at synagogues as they walk past.
Some religious Jews in France have warned community members not to display their yarmulkes in public.
In Villepinte, Hannoun says families started departing “very rapidly” in 2004, when “the reality of the situation set in.”
“It was horrible,” he says. “You couldn’t walk out of synagogue. Families couldn’t take it.”
Despite the drop in anti-Semitic crime, which Hannoun attributes to the declining number of Jews in town, Jews have continued to leave Villepinte.
Hannoun says he is torn between the desire to recruit new Jewish families to the neighborhood to replace those who have left and discouraging potential community members from coming to a place he fears is not good for Jews.
“Honestly, I don’t know if I want them to come,” he says, adding, however, that he encourages couples who cannot afford housing elsewhere to settle here.
Though he has the financial means to relocate, Hannoun says he will not move so long as he is needed by the Jews of Villepinte.
“After us there’ll be nothing left,” Hannoun says. “We can’t lower our hands while we still have a role to play. It’s like being the captain on a sinking ship.”
In 2002 Hannoun’s son, Olivie, 40, moved with his family to Miami from France because of anti-Semitism.
Olivie Hannoun says he misses a lot about home, but his three children have become accustomed to life in the United States.
“They can’t understand that it can be difficult to be a Jew elsewhere,” Hannoun says. “They don’t know what that is, which is exactly what I wanted.”

The Gypsies are the only ethnic group that I am strongly in favor of complete extermination.

is that because you believe that "all life is precious"?


is this a case of "pre-birth abortion is MURDER"
but POST-birth abortion is just fine?

 

[GHook93]

Well, I am no expert on the immigration of Europeans, etc. but "rounding people up and sending them away" certainly sounds familiar.

Oh please don't scream Holocaust comparisons. Reasons:
(1) The Jews and Gypsies were NOT illegal immigrants to Germany and German occupied territory.
(2) They were not rounded up and deport back to their home country, rather they were rounded up made slaves and ultimately killed.
(3) In the case of the Jews as a whole they weren't a burden on the state.
(4) Jews as far as occupied Russia were getting rounded up sent further into German occupied areas for extermination.
(5) They Jews and Gypsies weren't sent on confortable airplanes, rather they were packed in cargo trains like cattle, in smoltering heat, with no food or water or even a place to rest their heads!
(6) The Jews and Gypsies had everything taken from them (here they are given money)

Here the Gypsie illegal immigrant are getting deported to their home country, via confortable airplanes, given money no less, because they have become substantial burdens on the State in a poor French economy.

The comparison to the Holocaust is a disingenious straw man!

France ought to do much, much better. I'm cancelling my Chanel order in protest.

Now you shown the Frogs, go get them!

In other words they ethnic cleanse them and give them $200 each, how kind.

You can say whatever what you like but the fact remains that is what it is, systematic government endorsed ethnic cleansing:

France defends its expulsion of Gypsies

Paola Totaro EUROPEAN CORRESPONDENT

August 20, 2010

FRANCE has been forced on to the defensive in Europe amid fears its decision to eliminate Gypsy camps - and forcibly deport foreign-born Roma people - will reignite xenophobia and violence.
Flights to Romania, repatriating Roma people in France without permits, began yesterday after the President, Nicolas Sarkozy, ordered 300 camps to be demolished by the end of October. So far, 51 have been dismantled.
A charter flight to Bucharest was to leave later in the day from the central city of Lyon with 73 Roma aboard, Immigration Ministry officials said. Fourteen others were repatriated to Romania aboard a commercial flight from the Paris region earlier in the day, the officials said, adding that another Romania-bound repatriation flight was expected today.
Advertisement: Story continues below
The Roma received a payment of €300 ($427) for each adult and €100 a child as an incentive to a peaceful, voluntary repatriation.
Mr Sarkozy, facing plummeting approval ratings and a tight re-election campaign in 2012, pledged to eliminate the camps in a populist bid to restore his government's credibility on law and order after a wave of summer violence, which left young Roma travellers dead after confrontations with police.
A riot in the south-eastern city of Grenoble was seized on by Mr Sarkozy's Interior Minister, Brice Hortefeux, last month to launch a high-profile assault on street crime, renewing attention on immigration in a climate of austerity and rising unemployment.
The controversial decision has been condemned by human rights groups who insist it stigmatises one ethnic group solely to harness right-wing voter support.
But Mr Sarkozy has also been criticised from within his own centre-right UMP party. One colleague, Jean-Pierre Grand, described the strategy as being akin to the round-up of Jews during World War II.
The Romanian Foreign Minister, Teodor Baconschi, warned of the social implications of the crackdown: ''I am worried about the risks of populism and xenophobic reactions in a context of economic crisis.''
Mr Baconschi, who is a former ambassador to France, called for a joint France-Romanian approach to resolve the problem, clearly hinting at the political nature of the policy by asking that it be discussed in a climate free of ''artificial election fever''.
The Council of Europe estimate that two-thirds of the Roma who have been sent back to Bucharest with financial incentives eventually drift back to France. About 15,000 Roma people are believed to live in France although the government states that it repatriated 10,000 illegal immigrants last year.
Under EU citizenship rules, Roma people have the right to move to France but must have work permits to stay for longer than three months.
The French government has signalled it plans to repatriate up to 700 people by the end of the month.

France has a huge illegal AFRICAN immigrant problem. 100 fold worse than America's illegal problem. The majority don't (or can't find) work and live off the welfare state. France can't provide for them and they give little back to them. Crime rates amongst these illegal immigrants far exceeds the crime rate of America's illegal immigrants. They take so much, demand so much and give very very little!

Hipster, the reason France is not safe for the Jews has nothing to do with the native "White" Frenchmen, rather it has more to do with the Muslim legal and illegal immigrants to France. Muslims make up 10-12% 6.5-7 mil and growing (via legal and illegal immigrants and the fact that Muslims reproduce at a rate 5-8 times as great as the White French population which reproduces as a rate that decreases its population). 95% of the antisemitic attacks and crimes are committed by Muslims on Jews!

Jews fleeing Paris suburbs for ?ghettos? where life is safer | The Jewish Review

It's socialist policies cause that. Plus it doesn't undermine the fact either that African's (not all the illegals are Muslim) live in appalling conditions and the people there have been either too heartless or racist to do anything about it. Plus French white men do commit antisemitism against Jews, and are also the largest source of anti-semitic articles (least of all on the Israel-Palestine Issue) outside of the middle east and UK.
French Anti-Semitism: A Barometer for Gauging Society's Perverseness - An Interview with Shmuel Trigano
The Socialist Party's Attitude

Trigano mentions that he is often asked to what extent it was relevant that there was a socialist coalition government at the time the anti-Jewish aggression rapidly increased: "It is my impression that a large part of the French socialist party does not support Israel. Jewish socialists have felt the need to create the Leon Blum circle - named after France's first Jewish prime minister - which is an indicator of what is happening in their party.
"This group, which also has non-Jewish members, tries to explain the history of Judaism and Zionism to their party colleagues, and draws their attention to the dangers of anti-Semitism. Its members include Dominique Strauss-Kahn, a potential candidate - with hardly any chance - in the next presidential elections. Another is François Zimeray who was very active in the European parliament to promote the investigation of the European Union's support for Palestinian terrorism.
"The socialist party decided not to include Zimeray in its list of candidates for the June 2004 European elections. There has been much discussion as to whether this was a punishment for his pro-Israeli position. Some say that it was in order to make room for another Jewish candidate, Henri Weber - who is close to the party's number two, Laurent Fabius. The truth is not known, yet there is enough additional proof indicating the socialist party's lack of sensitivity toward Israel."

(....)

Collaboration among Israel's Enemies

Trigano says that there are many indications of collaboration between the extreme left, the extreme right and the Muslim fundamentalists in France. "As far as the latter are concerned, there is no clear separation between official representatives and extremists. The representative organization of the Muslim community in France, the Union des Organizations Islamiques de France (UOIF), is de facto the official counterpart of the government, as it has received a majority in the French Council of Muslim religion. (CFCM)
"The UOIF is close to the Muslim Brothers, an extremist group which originated in the 1920s in Egypt. The prominent Muslim intellectual, Tarik Ramadan, is a grandson of Hassan El Banna, their founder. He lives in Switzerland and has become the charismatic leader of French Muslim youth. Earlier in 2004 he launched a major anti-Semitic attack against several French Jewish intellectuals, whom he accused of being tribalist.
"Radical Muslim fundamentalists collaborate with the extreme left. The Trotskyites and the Greens made many demonstrations against Israel possible. There, shouts of 'death to the Jews' were heard while Hamas-adherents marched through Paris dressed as martyrs.

France defends its expulsion of Gypsies

FRANCE has been forced on to the defensive in Europe amid fears its decision to eliminate Gypsy camps - and forcibly deport foreign-born Roma people - will reignite xenophobia and violence.
Flights to Romania, repatriating Roma people in France without permits, began yesterday after the President, Nicolas Sarkozy, ordered 300 camps to be demolished by the end of October. So far, 51 have been dismantled.
A charter flight to Bucharest was to leave later in the day from the central city of Lyon with 73 Roma aboard, Immigration Ministry officials said. Fourteen others were repatriated to Romania aboard a commercial flight from the Paris region earlier in the day, the officials said, adding that another Romania-bound repatriation flight was expected today.

The Roma received a payment of €300 ($427) for each adult and €100 a child as an incentive to a peaceful, voluntary repatriation.
Mr Sarkozy, facing plummeting approval ratings and a tight re-election campaign in 2012, pledged to eliminate the camps in a populist bid to restore his government's credibility on law and order after a wave of summer violence, which left young Roma travellers dead after confrontations with police.
A riot in the south-eastern city of Grenoble was seized on by Mr Sarkozy's Interior Minister, Brice Hortefeux, last month to launch a high-profile assault on street crime, renewing attention on immigration in a climate of austerity and rising unemployment.
The controversial decision has been condemned by human rights groups who insist it stigmatises one ethnic group solely to harness right-wing voter support.
But Mr Sarkozy has also been criticised from within his own centre-right UMP party. One colleague, Jean-Pierre Grand, described the strategy as being akin to the round-up of Jews during World War II.
The Romanian Foreign Minister, Teodor Baconschi, warned of the social implications of the crackdown: ''I am worried about the risks of populism and xenophobic reactions in a context of economic crisis.''
Mr Baconschi, who is a former ambassador to France, called for a joint France-Romanian approach to resolve the problem, clearly hinting at the political nature of the policy by asking that it be discussed in a climate free of ''artificial election fever''.
The Council of Europe estimate that two-thirds of the Roma who have been sent back to Bucharest with financial incentives eventually drift back to France. About 15,000 Roma people are believed to live in France although the government states that it repatriated 10,000 illegal immigrants last year.
Under EU citizenship rules, Roma people have the right to move to France but must have work permits to stay for longer than three months.
The French government has signalled it plans to repatriate up to 700 people by the end of the month.

France defends its expulsion of Gypsies

It's wrong for the same thing its wrong to ethnic cleanse any other racial group in the European Union (where there is meant to be freedom of movement for Gypsies), and many nations have parties in their government which want to ethnic cleanse all the Muslims from Europe (another extreme).

 

[GHook93]

The more people a country lets in people who go right to the welfare system, the more people who just take and don't give back, then the more socialistic policies a country will increasingly have, since those people eventually turn into votes and will regularly vote for increased socialism!

France has a huge illegal AFRICAN immigrant problem. 100 fold worse than America's illegal problem. The majority don't (or can't find) work and live off the welfare state. France can't provide for them and they give little back to them. Crime rates amongst these illegal immigrants far exceeds the crime rate of America's illegal immigrants. They take so much, demand so much and give very very little!

Hipster, the reason France is not safe for the Jews has nothing to do with the native "White" Frenchmen, rather it has more to do with the Muslim legal and illegal immigrants to France. Muslims make up 10-12% 6.5-7 mil and growing (via legal and illegal immigrants and the fact that Muslims reproduce at a rate 5-8 times as great as the White French population which reproduces as a rate that decreases its population). 95% of the antisemitic attacks and crimes are committed by Muslims on Jews!

You have never seen how they treat their African refugees have you? It's like a Jewish ghetto out of Nazi Germany. France is the hell hole of Europe, just don't tell the socialist nut cases that live there that though as they consider themselves morally superior to Americans and the rest of the world.

They persecute Jews too:

It's socialist policies cause that. Plus it doesn't undermine the fact either that African's (not all the illegals are Muslim) live in appalling conditions and the people there have been either too heartless or racist to do anything about it. Plus French white men do commit antisemitism against Jews, and are also the largest source of anti-semitic articles (least of all on the Israel-Palestine Issue) outside of the middle east and UK.
French Anti-Semitism: A Barometer for Gauging Society's Perverseness - An Interview with Shmuel Trigano
The Socialist Party's Attitude

Trigano mentions that he is often asked to what extent it was relevant that there was a socialist coalition government at the time the anti-Jewish aggression rapidly increased: "It is my impression that a large part of the French socialist party does not support Israel. Jewish socialists have felt the need to create the Leon Blum circle - named after France's first Jewish prime minister - which is an indicator of what is happening in their party.
"This group, which also has non-Jewish members, tries to explain the history of Judaism and Zionism to their party colleagues, and draws their attention to the dangers of anti-Semitism. Its members include Dominique Strauss-Kahn, a potential candidate - with hardly any chance - in the next presidential elections. Another is François Zimeray who was very active in the European parliament to promote the investigation of the European Union's support for Palestinian terrorism.
"The socialist party decided not to include Zimeray in its list of candidates for the June 2004 European elections. There has been much discussion as to whether this was a punishment for his pro-Israeli position. Some say that it was in order to make room for another Jewish candidate, Henri Weber - who is close to the party's number two, Laurent Fabius. The truth is not known, yet there is enough additional proof indicating the socialist party's lack of sensitivity toward Israel."

Collaboration among Israel's Enemies

Trigano says that there are many indications of collaboration between the extreme left, the extreme right and the Muslim fundamentalists in France. "As far as the latter are concerned, there is no clear separation between official representatives and extremists. The representative organization of the Muslim community in France, the Union des Organizations Islamiques de France (UOIF), is de facto the official counterpart of the government, as it has received a majority in the French Council of Muslim religion. (CFCM)
"The UOIF is close to the Muslim Brothers, an extremist group which originated in the 1920s in Egypt. The prominent Muslim intellectual, Tarik Ramadan, is a grandson of Hassan El Banna, their founder. He lives in Switzerland and has become the charismatic leader of French Muslim youth. Earlier in 2004 he launched a major anti-Semitic attack against several French Jewish intellectuals, whom he accused of being tribalist.
"Radical Muslim fundamentalists collaborate with the extreme left. The Trotskyites and the Greens made many demonstrations against Israel possible. There, shouts of 'death to the Jews' were heard while Hamas-adherents marched through Paris dressed as martyrs.
"The MRAP, which is in the orbit of the Communist Party and strongly pro-Muslim, claims to be a movement against racism and anti-Semitism for peace. One of its key figures, Mouloud Aounit, is close to Tarik Ramadan and very hostile to Israel. In July 2003 the MRAP invented a non-existing conspiracy of the Zionist extreme right, the Christian extreme right and the Nazis, against the Muslims, with the aim of accusing the Jewish community of racism.

The Gypsies are not only being chaised out of France. Let me explain: Since Romania and other poor Eastern-European Countries entered the European Union their citizens were able to travel without limitations throughout all other EU countries (the EU has a no-border policy = similar to how americans are able to travel freely within the US between different states).


The specific Gypsies that have been making a bad name for themselves are the "Roma", these are highly discriminated in their home country and other countries throughout Europe. As a result of being discriminated for more than decades they seek their way out of poverty through illegal means like thievery, pickpocketing, prostitution, scamming, begging, ...


Some have become rich by their illegal activities in Western Europe and have used the riches they stole/... from Western Europeans to build big mansions in their home country while still collecting money from their criminal network in Western Europe.


It s no suprise that these Gypsies are not liked in most Western European countries and it s not only France that has reacted to it: Italy has already taken even more radical actions against them, other countries have taken less visible actions but equaly large scaled actions against them.

The Gypsies are the only ethnic group that I am strongly in favor of complete extermination.

Gypsy, give me your tears...

Are they French citizens? Nope. Under the EU charte of free movement, the host country can restrict free movement and deport non-citizen EU residents to their home country if they commit a crime(s) or they become a burden on the state. Read the article it says it right there.

The Roma in France come from Romania and Bulgaria. Those 2 countries are EU member States and part of Schenghen Treaty.
France wants them out, pays for their "relocation".
But, they can always return and France can do nothing about it.
The Justice Minister in France is now preparing a law to forbid those "relocated" a return (See Link down).
Very likely that law will be incompatible with European Law, just like the Minarett ban in Switzerland.

Last Year France already deported 11.000 Romas. This year - before the news - France already chartered 27 airplanes and deported further Romas.

Some analysts in German Press say, that French President is in downward spiral of public support and is very unlikely to get elected another time.
He now goes fishing in the nationalist camp of Le Pen for support.
