French president pledges to protect Jewish community
French President Francois Hollande said his country must offers protection and affection to the Jewish community as anti-Semitism is on the rise in France.
"Jews are at home in France, it's the anti-Semites who have no place in the Republic," Hollande said in a speech Monday at a prestigious annual dinner of the country's main Jewish organization. Many French Jews feel increasingly worried about anti-Semitism, particularly coming from young Muslims who embrace radical ideology propagated online.
