Study: Most Anti-Semitism in France is Muslim

Most anti-Semitic attacks carried out in France over the past decade were perpetrated by Muslims, according to a report from the Organization for the Defense of Jewish Communities in France. The group reported 389 attacks on Jews in France in 2011.

Dr. Simcha Epstein, an anti-Semitism expert, spoke to Maariv and said the rise in Muslim attacks was new, and followed decades in which most attacks were perpetrated by members of the extreme right. Violence is particularly bad in schools, where Jewish students are often targeted and teachers are unable to exert control, he said.
