French Jews Flee Paris Suburbs over Rising Anti-Semitism
(AFP) Pauline Froissart and Benoit Fauchet - When Alain Benhamou walked into his apartment near Paris in July 2015 and saw the words "dirty Jew" scrawled on the wall, his second such break-in in less than three months, he knew it was time to leave Bondy, a Paris suburb he had called home for more than 40 years. "Until the years 2000-2005, the town was nice and quiet, with 250 to 300 Jewish families and synagogues full on the Sabbath. Now, only about a hundred Jewish families remain," Benhamou says.
