1. Problem stems from French intelligence -
barbara ,   Haifa   (01.11.15)
As long as you in France have this population of Muslims (with extremists), there should be a listing of those who carry suspicion. But I wouldn't be surprised to learn that you French intelligence is also suspiciously integrated.
2. Really? What about rockets from Gaza... and WORSE if we give
To the Dreamers ,   in France   (01.11.15)

8. Defeat terror
Sjoerd van der Velde ,   Hoorn, Holland   (01.11.15)
Every/any people should/must not surrender to terror and beat it, to live in a just society.
9. Israel knows how to deal with terror
joshua ,   Jerusalem   (01.11.15)
We give away land to Hamas, we give away temple mount to Jordan, we disengage from settlements. We apologise to Turkey for defending ourselves against terror on the high seas. YEAH RIGHT, Israel really is the only country that knows how to deal with terror? Israel should be your last stop if you are looking for a country which puts jewish lives first.
10. The problem with Israel
Ian ,   Johannesburg   (01.11.15)
For many commentators here , they all scream " Come back to Israel " for the beliegured French Jewry BUT there are a few issues to consider. 1) Low cost housing , Israel only builds for the super wealthy olim and renting rooms in my opinion is legalized squatting. Also remember that fairly well paid Israeli`s cannot afford housing. 2) The culture of PROTEXIA it`s very real , and from my own experience its impossible to get proper employment unless one likes the idea of dead end work and living in abject poverty. You cannot survive on a basic salary believe me. Even if you have the high tec qualifications there is no work , only the well connected get work !!!!! 3) If you are over 40 yrs old stay in France at least you will have 3 meals a day and not starve like you will in Israel. 4) Currently the Israeli leadership and IDF are incapable of fighting terror and we all know when a terrorist kills Jews they usualy get released a few years latter to kill again. 5) If you serve in the IDF or your children serve they could be imprisoned for war crimes as radicals on the left have infiltrated the supreme court and high echelons of the IDF so its not worth it. All I can say be very careful coming to Israel or you can be bitten realy bad by the circumstances and be forced to live else where due to socio economical circumstances.
11. To CJK #4 The pampered well-off ews who live in the suburbs
Anthony Fallon ,   Manchester UK   (01.11.15)
have the acumen and resources to emigrate, unfortunately the mainly Sephardi Jews who live amongst the Islamic detritis in the inner cities of Paris, Lyon, Marseilles, Toulouse etc, who are generally more impoverished cannot easily make these lifestyle changes. Secondly, there are numerous instances of violence every week of Israeli Arab violence against Israeli Jews not only in West Bank areas but also within Israel's pre-1967 borders, where Moslem Arabs make up over 20% of the population......try visiting Um Al-Fahm (Arab town in the Galilee) wearing a yarmulke & tsitsis or indeed Arab suburbs in Akko & Nahariya !!!
12. Building more homes means more affordable homes
BUILD BABY BUILD !!!   (01.11.15)
and more jobs for more people. I wonder if Israel could ever build enough homes for all seeking their own affordable home in Israel? Another look at how housing is being limited and so mismanaged should be fully examined and corrected. If not, as Islamic terror rises Israel will have not kept pace with either safety or growth in Israel denying those seeking to live in Israel the opportunity and, that would be a sin. BUILDING IS A BLESSING AND A NECESSITY.!!!!

i am well aware of the very real difficulties for disadvantaged jews to make alliya. however, the young can manage. it is a choice between freedom and economics. obviously, israel does not provide perfect security, but israel provides freedom and a jewish army.
