Record Number of Western European Jews Immigrate to Israel After Spike in Anti-Semitism | The Tower

A record number of western European Jews are immigrating to Israel as a result of a spike in anti-Semitic attacks, the Associated Press reported Thursday. Citing the Jewish Agency, the AP wrote that 9,880 western European Jews immigrated to Israel in the last year, with some 8,000 of them coming from France, where an increasing number of anti-Semitic assaults „has shattered the sense of security of the world’s third-largest Jewish population.“
