1. Collette another "Netanyahu" resident???
not Collette   (05.07.12)
Is Collette a Bibi supporter or does Ynet just assume she must be if she is wary of Hollande's policies towards French Jews?
2. Would Sarkozy be better??
Gunnar ,   Sweden   (05.07.12)
Apart from what we already know Sarkozy said, how about the numerous trips he took to Saudia Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, Algeria, Tunisia, Pakistan etc. To tell these countries to change their attitude vis-a-vis Israel, OR to sell nuclear power plants, arms and other advanced technology? You get one guess...
3. Perhaps...
J Galt ,   Hidden Valley, UAS   (05.07.12)
the LORD God is telling His people it is time to come home to the land He promised them. When we return home to Him He will nourish us, comfort us, care for us and protect us. Not a bad deal at all. Amen.
4. This is something new?
Dan ,   Florida - Tel Aviv   (05.07.12)
When will we all awaken to the fact that we are about to experience 1939 all over again in Europe and perhaps America? The rise of Antisemitism in Europe and throughout the America left wing controlled university system and add to that the Palestinian PR machine that is in full gear, we Jews are facing new dangers. Smugly repeating all the civilizations we have overcome and outlasted is a sure fire formula for apathy and an international disaster for world Jewry. Sarkozy lost by 3%. Had the French Jews recognized the problem, they might have done much more to help Sarkozy. I am afraid that apathy has sunk in. Never Again must mean Never Again and we Jews must awaken.

Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.07.12)

8. Sarkozy vs. Hollande
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (05.07.12)
Sarkozy talked right and acted left. Hollande talks left and acts left. There is not much difference as to Israel.
9. Hollande
Harold ,   USA   (05.07.12)
Everyday is not Saturday. This guy has no Jewish blood in his vains Sarkozy has.
10. Sure Germans are not happy either
David ,   USA   (05.07.12)
Looks like poor Germany will be left again to hold up the entire EU. As they are the only non-socialistic country who is keeping the giant EU from going down like the Titantic. Time to break up the EU I think.
11. French Jews have no future in France. Make aliyah!
Alexander ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (05.07.12)
French Jews should pack their bags and move to Israel because that's where Jews belong, that's were Jews are needed and that's where Jews can truly feel at home. We need a strong vibrant dynamic Israeli/Jewish state with a rock solid, steadfast Jewish demographic majority in all of Israel including Jerusalem, Gaza, Judea, Samaria and Golan (and no Arabs living in Israel) and we need a strong, vibrant, dynamic, rocksolid, steadfast economy, a responsible Central Bank, responsbile financial policy, stringent bank policies, high GDP, high GDP per capita, high annual GDP growth, low budget deficit, low national debt, low unemployment, low inflation and an equally strong Israel from a military and geopolitical point of view. Israel needs to strengthen and solidify its leader position in the world within science, education and high tech. That's what Israel truly needs. By the way: Sarkozy was never a friend of neither Israel nor Netanyahu. Sarkozy was talking dirt behind Netanyahu's back and Sarkozy was questiong Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state: http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4147953,00.html Conclusion: Maybe Hollande is no friend of Israel, but Sarkozy certainly never was a friend of Israel. Stop pretending that Sarkozy "is good for the Jews". France has never been friendly to Jews or Israel. It's about time that Jews/Israelis in general and French Jews in particular get into their heads that France, despite it's political correctness and polite smiles, and friendly talks, is still an anti-Semitic country. France is an enemy of Israel and so is the man on the French street. Let's not pretend anything else. Instead of Jews worrying about their gentile "masters" liking Jews or not, I suggest Jews become free men, women and children - masters of their own destiny - in Israel.
12. Remind me once again, Por favor...
Gideon Reader ,   USA   (05.07.12)
...when has a Socialist/Communist/Progressive/Leftist Polititurd Leader or his or her party ever been "Good for the Jews"? An example if you would ve so kind. Oh. Never? Exactly what I thought.
13. Hollande got the Arab votes
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (05.07.12)
14. Poor France
Gallula ,   Paris   (05.08.12)
As French Jewish we are very sad and future becomes darker and darker Hollande is not antisemistic at all But all around him there are ...... To #13you are absolutely right All of them voted to him We are very concerned and may hashem gather us in our promised land! Amen
15. complete nonsense
French guy ,   Paris-France   (05.08.12)
Hollande is not more or less friendly toward Israel as was former president Sarkozy. sarkozy speaks a lot, but didn't do anything in favor of Israel or the jews. The real divide is about the economic policies that are needed to reduce the crisis in Europe. Sarkozy followed blindly germany's austerity plan. That plan was suicide for the European peoples. Many juged Sarkozy arrogant and working only for the sake of a small upper class. As for muslim migrants, it is Sarkozy who bring them in their first governement, giving some of them major ministerial posts (Justice) etc.. Sarkozy begins to court muslims, then the socialists has to follow. Things are more complex than a few wealthy exiled think in Netanya !
16. Is Paris Burning?
Erudite ,   Australiaj   (05.08.12)
Not yet, but soon it will come to a theatre near you and French roast will be served.
17. @2
Jeff ,   USA   (05.08.12)
"Apart from what we already know Sarkozy said, how about the numerous trips he took to Saudia Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, Algeria, Tunisia, Pakistan etc. " Perhaps France has interests in the Mideast other than just in Israel?... shocking, I know...
18. Hollande or not Hollande....
Tom W ,   USA   (05.08.12)
Europe march inexorably toward its Islamic future as the Marxist takeover continues. Hollande cannot be worse than C. Ashton, a Briton, and she represents the whole EU to boot. The US is not far behind grace to the ADL and dozens of hard left Jewish Obama Court Jews like Jstreet. The cold shower will be the re-election of Obamao...better be prepared...
19. France will go the way of Greece.
Harry Wright ,   UK   (05.08.12)
20. Hollande's victory
Ruth ,   Los Angeles CA   (05.08.12)
At the victory celebrations, you could see flags from Syria, Egypt, Algeria, Morocco and "Palestine", but hardly a French one in sight. Muslim women celebrated in full niqab, which is illegal in France--with no consequences. Shouts of "Alla hu akbar!" were heard. What more do we need to know? My heart is breaking for the country that used to be France, because that country is dead.
21. Jews bad for Hollande...
(05.08.12)
22. france lost by 3%
nelson ,   south africa   (05.08.12)
The EU was dead 10 years ago anways.
23. Forget Eurabia and look to the East.
BUTSeriously ,   Sydney   (05.08.12)
24. will he support more rise of Islamic Fascism in France?
(05.08.12)
25. #11 - But Jews aren't welcome in Israel
Henry from New York ,   USA   (05.08.12)
The fact that Yaron London's views are printed in the mainstreams sources like this shows that either A, there is no limit to Israel's press freedom, or B, such inflammartory incitement is becoming more widely accepted. He isn't the first to espouse such views and whiile I don't imagine there will be any kind of second holocaust by Jews against Jews, I do think there's going to be violence.
26. Re. Hollande and antisemitism in France
Jewish ex-Frenchman ,   ex-Paris, ex-France   (05.08.12)
Unfortunately, all the TBer's who note the resurgence of virulent antisemitism in France and its likely increase during a "Hollande-reign", are 100% right. In fact antisemitism, covert or overt has been there all along for well over a millenium, and never ever vanished even after WWII...but now it is both fashionable and PC. How do I know? I was born after WWII and raised/schooled in that miserable den of antisemitism called France...yet some of my ancestors (who were already in France in the 9th Cent. CE) and their descendants, including myself, were oppressed, harassed, robbed, murdered, deported or expelled just like all the other Jews in France through the centuries. Obviously, the Catholic Church played a leading role in all these horrors in the past...nowadays it is mostly the Communists, Leftists, Ultra-Rightists, pseudo-Liberals and Muslims of all stripes who are out there agitating/preaching for the destruction of the Jews and Israel. But worse, it is also the French Judenrat Jews who are helping in the eradication of the French Jewish community. It is time for all the Jews in France to recognize that there is no longer a future for them in that benighted country, for that matter on that benighted Continent. It is now time for the Jews in France and in the rest of EUrope to look for safer harbors, because things are not going to get better...in fact they are going to get worse, much worse! Islam is now accomplishing what it failed to accomplish in the 8th Cent. CE i.e. the conquest of Europe that is: EUrabia. The current economic maelstrom now engulfing most of the EU...is being already being blamed on the Jews..why does that sound so very very familiar? This perennial scapegoating, this never ending search for a Final Solution must come an end soon...that will happen when all the Jews of Europe have left for better climes so that Muslims can take over and start giving Europe's infidels their long overdue Islamic-style rewards.
27. Congrats President elect Hollande...
