(Times of Israel) Romain Chauvet - Requests for immigration by French Jews to Israel has risen by 430% since Oct. 7, reflecting a climate of fear, said Freddo Pachter of Israel's Aliya Ministry. "I can no longer see myself living in France with everything that is happening. I am afraid every day for my children, it is no longer a life," says one mother who lives in Paris. Another French Jewish woman said, "Oct. 7 changed everything. I would never have imagined thinking of leaving France for Israel...but at least there we will not have to hide." More than 1,500 antisemitic incidents have been recorded in France between Oct. 7 and mid-November, according to the French Interior Ministry. This is more than three times the 436 antisemitic incidents recorded over all of 2022.
