French Jews have long been wary of the parties of the right, parties that historically have welcomed antisemites and even some collaborators as members. Jean-Marie Le Pen, the father of Marine Le Pen and the founder of the far-right National Front, will always be remembered by French Jews for repeatedly describing the Nazi gas chambers as a mere “detail” of World War II. His daughter broke with him over this remark, denouncing him and expelling him from the party. Since then, she has had nothing to do with him personally or politically. Still, French Jews have been wary of supporting Marine Le Pen — until now. They have finally come to their senses. They have seen during the last eight months how Marine Le Pen and another rightist political figure, Eric Zemmour of the Conquête Party, have attacked Hamas and supported Israel. They now understand that the greatest threat to their wellbeing in France comes from both the burgeoning Muslim population, and from the hard-left Jean-Luc Mélenchon, head of the political party La France Insoumise, who attacks Israel, defends Hamas, and opposes any limits on Muslim immigration. More on French Jews and their political turn to the right can be found here: “French Jews turn to far-right National Rally: ‘We’re voting for the nicest enemy,’” by Michael Starr, Jerusalem Post, June 30, 2024:
Many French Jews are turning away from their prior political mainstays and are voting for the right-wing National Rally in Sunday’s parliamentary elections, Jewish Paris resident David told The Jerusalem Post, as problems arising from immigration and cultural change have risen to the forefront of political discussion.
“Cultural change” is a veiled reference to the effect on French society and culture of millions of Muslims now living in the Hexagon and receiving a cornucopia of benefits from the French state. Many, perhaps most, of them do not wish to integrate into the larger society,, nor to obey French laws or accept French mores, convinced as they are that the French, as Infidels, are the “most vile of created beings.”
David said that everyone in his synagogue was voting for National Rally, as were many other religious Jew he knew. Many of his leftist Jewish friends were either voting for right parties of not voting at all.
“We’re voting for the nicest enemy,” said David, referring to National Rally’s founder’s controversies with Holocaust denial and antisemitism. “It is very hard to vote for them [National Rally], who wants to vote for those who have a history with Nazis.”…
David is confused. Jean-Marie Le Pen founded the National Front, not the National Rally (Rassemblement National). The National Rally’s head, Marine Le Pen, has no “history with Nazis.” It is her father who made an intolerable remark about the Nazi gas chambers being a mere “detail” of World War II, and for that she expelled him from the party, and has had nothing to do with him ever since.
“France has changed so much in the last 10 years,” said David. “The French are not having children.”…
The fertility rate of French women is now 1.8, well below the replacement level of 2.1. The fertility rate for Muslim women in France is 2.9.
“The French don’t deserve a man like Zemmour,” said David, describing the leader of Algerian Jewish extraction as an intelligent man who had a passionate love for French culture and society. Zemmour had long warned about how increasing immigration could change the character of the republic’s culture.
Moving from the Left to the right is a dramatic change for some French Jews, who David said had been left with a difficult choice — But difficult or not, based on what David said, his friends have made the choice all the same.
I disagree with David. French Jews do not have a difficult choice. If they wish to have a future in France, there is only one party that is both willing, and able, to call a halt to mass Muslim immigration. That is the National Rally.

It’s muslim invasion. Not migration. Know the difference.

Barbara Lerner Spector
NYCRight says
Barbara Lerner Spectre is an American Jew, imported to Sweden to silence Swedish Jews, who rejected Muslim migration. Jews were protesting Muslim invasion and the leftist and muslim antisemitism. This included the rabbi at Stockholm’s largest synagogue. The socialist government then threatened the synagogue and they fired the rabbi. They replaced him with Spectre’s husband and funded Padeia as a center for the American Spectre to speak for for Swedish Jews.
You are thinking of a few sentences that spectre said in a video. But you have never seen the entire video, an Israel Broadcast Authority piece, “The Jews of Malmo”. It is about Swedish Jews protesting Muslim and Socialist harassment and violence. Spectre is not speaking as a Jew. She is given the role of the rebuttal or comment from the Swedeish government. In other words, she represents the people importing antisemites.
And so she says to the Jews that regardlress of what they say or do they will be blamed for the “necessary” changes in Sweden. So it would be better if the Jews stopped resisting.
And neo-Nais cut up the video and claimed she was speaking for Jews and proving the Islamicization of Sweden is a Jewish plot, when it is an antisemitic plot.
Ken Hull says
Muslim migration is Muslim invasion. Migration is the cornerstone of Islamic global jihad. The history of Islam is dated from the migration from Mecca to Medina. You would think it might be dated from the birth of Mohammad, and you would be wrong.
Norman Gardner Gardner says
It is known as the Hijrah, which is Muslim infiltration into Western society with the idea of achieving voter supremacy and thus Muslim superiority.
Trudy says
I remember the Holodomor and Lazar Kaganovich. Is that considered antisemitic?
Ron Wasserman says
Communists who happen to be born Jews, like all Communists, are Communists first, last and always. Their primary religion is Communism/Leftism.
Susan says
So true and many are antisemitic themselves.
Moshe says
Sounds like you are letting Stalin, who in his youth considered the Christian priesthood, off the hook. You must really hate Jews to do that.
By the way, it’s pretty doubtful that you actually remember having experienced the Holomodor.
NYCRight says
The Bolsheviks were antisemites, and Jews did die in the Holodomor.

Disturbing photo. None of these people are French. They are all Africans. They look like fish out of water. We need to help them get back to the countries and continents which they love and respect.
Ann Peters says
why is FP censoring free speech comments?
Alkflaeda says
As a UK citizen, it appears from some of Raymond Ibrahim’s writing that the French have had a worse time (so far) with Islam than we have – or maybe the problems have been more obvious because French police have not colluded with grooming gangs and the like. It may be that our situation will need to get worse before it can get better.
Nyctamère says
The French Jews who vote for the RN are probably keenly aware that Maritorne le Pen will betray them at the drop of a hat, just like their “great” ancestor Philippe Pétain did in 1940. Voting for Macron’s political formation is even more difficult as his betrayal of French Jewry s already occurring, with Macron’s forging a parliamentary alliance with Mélanchon’s islamo-leftist LFI, which will garner about 25% of the votes today., in order to block the RN from claiming the premiership.
For us Israeli-French double nationals, voting for Macron’s independent-minded candidate is much less of a dilemma. After all, she’s one of us, a friend and a tried and true, loyally Jewish parlamentarian. She will be able to represent us more efficiently than the incumbent Meir Habib, a warm, likeable man with a quick smile, a big mouth, and a lot of charm. The latter runs under the LR (The Republicans) ticket, but the RN has practically endorsed him as well by not running a candidate against him. He is also a good friend of Netanyiahu, which I’m certainly not! I’d like a pro-Israelis PM for a change, but Bibi is pro-Bibi only! In any case, if the RN wins this French Legislative Election, one of their first steps will be to cancel all French double citizenships, and we’re in a bit of hot water on that! There will be NO good outcome for the Jews of France. The antisemitic Left gaining the Premiership with Macron’s assent, will very certainly send us scrambling to find accommodation for hundreds of thousands of French-Jewish refugees in already overcrowded, at-war Israel!
Ciao, I’m off to the French Consulate’s voting office in Tel Aviv to vote for Mrs. Caroline Yadan!
Sarah says
LePen came in THIRD in the exit polls. The elites, the commies, the socialists, the corrupt in power rigged the system to block anyone else from seizing power. Related to that, anyone who thinks Trump will win in November hasn’t been paying attention.
Daniel Rodriguez says
Except in the US, If another election is stolen there will not be peace and the whole edifice of liberty will come crashing down but not without a fight.
Ron Kelmell says
Treaty, settlement, and jihad are the three historic tactics enabling Islam’s spread. See Wheatcroft’s “Infidel’s: A History of Conflict Between Christendom and Islam”. Islam’s success has brought much of Europe to its knees again.w
“I regret there are no more infidels to be put to the sword. If it were not for the sea, I go West”, lament the 7th Century Muslim general when he arrived at ancient Spain’s western coast.
jeremiah says
Only one day or two and already in the second round national rally is wiped out. Marne is done all power will remain with Macron.
Daniel Rodriguez says
Muslim invaders are peaceful UNTIL they have demographic superiority; then, they show the true colors of their hateful ideology, their false religion, and their false god. They are a religious people, who because of their religious call to violence, should be highly scrutinized and minimally be allowed into western society. Most do not wish to assimilate, only infiltrate and change the cultures they invade to the detriment of those cultures.
Atikva says
I very much doubt that French Jews have ‘come to their senses’. They may just have been a little worried by the growing insecurity and the government inability to protect them against the growing antisemitism, but even if they have, it’s too late to have an impact on what is awaiting them. They are going through the same ‘lobster boil’ scenario experienced by the German Jews in the 1930s, and it has worked again: they don’t believe they could ever be subjected to the same kind of horrors inflicted to the leftist Jews by their ‘Palestinian’ friends on October 7 – which are being denied the same way the death camps were. If even the leftist Israelis don’t get it, blinded by their illusions and unable to accept reality, it’s certainly not the French Jews who will open their eyes.
