French Jewish emigration to Israel rises

Issued on:

Over 3,000 French Jews immigrated to Israel in 2013, a 63 per cent increase from the year before. The Israeli economy is doing better than its French equivalent and French Jews are becoming increasingly uneasy in France following Mohamed Merah's deadly attack on a Jewish schoolin 2012 and more recently, there is concern about increasing anti-Semitism following the rise in popularity of French comedian Dieudonné. RFI meets a French woman who is thinking of making 'aliyah', or immigrating to Israel.
