French President Emmanuel Macron stressed his determination to confront anti-Semitism, which is unacceptable in modern society. In his speech at the ceremony marking the 80th anniversary of the Jewish organization CRIF, he stressed that France will not allow this form of hatred to spread.
The Times Of Israel writes about this.
Following the horrific October 7 massacre by Hamas terrorists, attacks on Jews have become more frequent, raising fears among the Jewish population in France. Macron expressed his deep concern about this phenomenon and stressed that the government will take tough measures against anti-Semitism in all its forms.
Tensions arose recently at Sciences Po University in Paris when pro-Palestinian demonstrators were accused of barring entry to members of the Jewish student union. This is just one of many incidents demonstrating the spread of hatred and intolerance.
Macron stressed that anti-Semitism is incompatible with France’s core values and called for a fight against all forms of hatred and discrimination. He also expressed his concern about the current situation in the Gaza Strip, criticizing the protracted Israeli offensive and calling for the protection of human rights and peace in the region
“There is no place for anti-Semitism in France. Where anti-Semitism flourishes, so do all other forms of hatred – hatred of difference, of minorities, of foreigners, of Muslims, of women, of homosexuals,” Macron said.
Macron stressed that the protection and security of Israel does not mean unconditional support for all his government’s actions, and that democratic values and respect for human rights must be at the center of any resolution to the conflict.
Earlier, Cursor reported that Macron named the condition for the transfer of French troops to Ukraine. French President Macron said that sending troops to Ukraine cannot be ruled out.
