Sharon To Jews-Get Out Of France
Ariel Sharon pleads with Jews to leave France and go emigrate to Israel:
Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has urged all French Jews to move to Israel immediately to escape anti-Semitism.
He told a meeting of the American Jewish Association in Jerusalem that Jews around the world should relocate to Israel as early as possible.
But for those living in France, he added, moving was a "must" because of rising violence against Jews there.
France's foreign ministry said it had asked Israel for an explanation of the "unacceptable comments".
French Jewish leaders, interviewed on France-2 Television, said Mr Sharon's remarks were unhelpful.
"These comments do not bring calm, peace and serenity that we all need," said Patrick Gaubert, of the International League Against Racism and Anti-Semitism (Licra). "I think Mr Sharon would have done better tonight to have kept quiet."
510 cases thus far this year compared with a little less than 600 all of last. That's a huge increase.
