France is failing to fight its rising tide of anti-Semitism

The New York Post, February 17, 2020

The most dangerous place to be a Jew in Europe is France. That’s the conclusion of an unpublished, two-year report on anti-Semitism in 11 European countries, conducted by former NYPD Commissioner Raymond Kelly at former US Ambassador to Austria Ronald Lauder’s behest...

The report attributes French anti-Semitism to history, a sluggish economy and demography. Jews now face hate from three main sources. First, the old “strain” from the far right. The second threat comes from the left — the “intellectual/university class, [which] directs its anti-Israeli and pro-Palestinian views at French Jews via protests and social ostracism of even professional Jews.”
However, the report stresses that the “single greatest threat of violence” against French Jews emanates from radicalization among portions of a growing French Muslim population. Anti-Semitic attacks and verbal harassment are especially pronounced in areas where middle- and working-class Arabs live side-by-side with Jews. These “at-risk” residents make up a third of France’s Jewish population.

The tendency of too many Jews to promote Islamic immigration reminds me of the Aesop’s Fable of the scorpion and the frog.
A scorpion asks a frog to carry him across a river. The frog is hesitant, fearing that the scorpion will sting him.
"But if I sting you, you’ll drown, and I can’t swim," says the scorpion.
The frog says, "But when we get across, THEN you’ll sting me."
The scorpion claims that he will be so grateful, he could not then sting the frog."
The frog, seeing the logic, agrees to transport the frog. But halfway across, the frog feels the deadly sting on his back. As the paralysis spreads, and he starts to sink, the frog says, "Why did you do that? Now we’ll BOTH drown!"
The scorpion replies, "It’s my nature."
