France’s prime minister, Edouard Philippe, said his country is facing an utterly new level of anti-Semitism that is marked by violence and brutality.
He made the remarks in context of discussing the assault of an 8-year-old boy who was wearing a Jewish skullcap when he was attacked.
The attack was denounced by France President Emmanuel Macron:

Authorities believe the incident was rooted in religious discrimination.
Ynet News has more of Philippe’s comments:
France is facing a “new form of anti-Semitism” marked by violence, French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe said Wednesday, deploring an assault this week in a Paris suburb on an eight-year-old boy wearing a Jewish skullcap.
President Emmanuel Macron has denounced the attack Monday in Sarcelles, a northern suburb with a large Jewish population, as “heinous.”
Two teenagers beat the boy up in the northern Paris suburb of Sarcelles on Tuesday, in what prosecutors said appeared to be attack motivated by the child’s religion.
It is the latest in a string of assaults that has worried France’s large Jewish community, coming three weeks after a kosher supermarket in the Paris suburbs was gutted in a suspected arson attack.
Prosecutors said the two youths attacked the boy while he was on his way to after-school tutoring on Tuesday, pushing him to the ground and then beating him. Police were investigating but there have been no arrests.
Sarcelles, nicknamed “Little Jerusalem” due to its large Jewish population, was rocked by anti-Jewish violence during the 2014 war in Gaza.
Several shops were set on fire or vandalized, including a kosher grocery.
Speaking before lawmakers, Philippe noted the emergence of a new kind of anti-Semitism in France, which has the largest Jewish population in Western Europe.
To fight something, one must have “the courage to put a name on it … to acknowledge that, yes, there is a new form of anti-Semitism, violent and brutal, emerging more and more openly in our land,” Philippe said.
Interior Minister Gerard Collomb and Jewish leaders say the number of anti-Semitic acts in France has risen this month after a drop in previous years.

They’re not facing ‘new’ forms of anti-Semitism, they imported adherents of an ideology that hates Jews. And now he’s warning? People were warning long before this idiot.

Agree. Dems/Left/Liberal/socialist/feminazis have only destroyed countries which they ruled/misruled.

No mention of the source of this violent antisemitism — if you can’t identify your enemy you’ll never defeat him. Let the dying atheist West sink into the muslum morass, long live Burma!

Do they use Disqus? I’m surprised Disqus isn’t censoring you here as well.
I had no solution except to use a different proxy server and a different handle.

Really? Supposed Christians that have never read the Bible? Sounds pretty par for the course. Not one single goyim, penned one word, within that entire book, Old Testament and New Testament alike.

From a scriptural perspective, to a believing Christian, Christ was G-d, in man’s form. I won’t bore you with chapter and verse … So, that is subject to vigorous debate.

Edouard Philippe like all good muslims does not shave “Imam Shafi (R.A.) in his Kitabul Umm states, “To shave the beard is HARAAM.” (Shari Minhaj dar Shara Fasl Aqueeqa)”.

Lets be clear about this. The socialist/communist government officials of Europe are 100% responsible for all the antisemite crimes against jews by colluding with and enabling islamic terrorism on the continent. These are not French nationals or European natives engaging in violence against jews, these are muslim jihadists/immigrants/invaders.

You brought these donkey uckfers to your land. You know their history. These people are barbaric vile men that practice the most heinous of sex crimes and human violence.
If you want the Jews out this is the way to do it. But when you run out of Jews they will turn on YOU! And cleanse your land till not one Frenchmen is left.
Then the Jews will have their revenge. 🙂

All Jews must leave France before the Islamic Nazis make them wear a Jewish star on their jackets and an I.D. number tattooed on their arm.

Jews weren’t tattooed by moslems .. Rather, this what moslems forced upon the Jewish people: two yellow badges [are to be displayed], one on the headgear and one on the neck. Furthermore, each Jew must hang round his neck a piece of lead with the word dhimmi [a social status given to tolerated infidels] on it. He also has to wear a belt round his waist. The women have to wear one red and one black shoe and have a small bell on their necks or shoes.”

Very telling that there is no description of the attackers; the incident itself screams ‘Muslims, who we will protect’.

Isn’t he supporting it by letting the Islamic invasion happen?
