EXODUS.



It seems that with the nauseating rise in anti-Semitism in la belle France, jews living in France are choosing to return to Israel This summer has seen record numbers of jews - up to 50,000 - deserting the glories of the Riviera for the glory of Netanya and Eilat.



Yossi Borniche, a 58-year-old pharmacist who immigrated from France last year and is now living in Netanya, said coverage of Israel in the French media contributed to his decision to leave. “There is very biased news against Israel,” he said. “For me it was very hard to be a Jew there. It’s not a pleasant place to be now.” He said one of his daughters who lives in an upscale Paris neighborhood had the mezuzah on her door smashed. “Always, always, every day something else happens. It’s hard to live with,” Borniche said.



The French media - anti-Semitic - surely not????
