Every fourth Jew in France was attacked from the seventh of October

At the State Audit Committee chaired by Knesset member Miki Levy's discussion that is currently taking place (Monday) on the diplomatic-media struggle in the boycott movement and the manifestations of anti-Semitism abroad, the director general of the American Jewish Committee (AJC) Avital Leibovitz presented data from a new survey released today – Holocaust Day:

86% of French Jews feel under threat of an anti-Semitic attack, of which 56% testified that the fear is significant; About half (44%) testified that since October 7 they refrain from wearing items that betray their Jewishness such as a kippah or a Star of David necklace; And one in five testified that he removed the mezuzos outside his house so that he would not be attacked. In addition, every fourth Jew in France (25%) has been attacked on anti-Semitic grounds since October 7th.

In a survey conducted among the general public in France, it emerged that 76% believe that the phenomenon of anti-Semitism exists in the country, 34% are infected with anti-Semitic views – which means that one out of every three French people is anti-Semitic. Another horrifying figure: 6% of the French public expresses sympathy for Hamas.
