Israeli Minister Urges French Aliyah Following Beheading Attack

Israeli Immigration and Absorption Minister Ze'ev Elkin on Friday urged French Jews to flee to Israel after an Islamist terrorist attacked a factory near Lyon and pinned a severed head to the gates.

"I call on the Jews of France - come home! Anti-Semitism is rising, terror is increasing," Elkin, a member of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's Likud party who also serves as Minister for Jerusalem Affairs.

"This is a national mission of the highest priority," he said.

At least one Islamist terrorist launched a daylight raid on an industrial gas factory in France Friday.

How long before they start trying to scare American Jews into fleeing to settlements in the Jordan Valley?

But the guy is an obvious moron, and I also doubt it does much good to read a lot into what he says. He just sees a solution to a problem the occupation-lovers have, not enough bodies they can call theirs.

higher in 2015 than in 2014, but twice as high in 2014 as in 2013. on track for about 2% of France's Jewish population immigrating to Israel this year. a sign of the success of Palestine advocates' "putting pressure on the Jews" (to borrow Mondoweiss' phrase).

People like him seem to think that people should live somewhere else based on their ancestry only.
