Jews have suffered anti-Semitism over the ages in all sorts of horrible conditions and as often as not, "stuck it out". Although there is nothing wrong in any Jew moving to Israel if he/she wants to, why is it that the French community seems to want to flee so quickly? Despite the horrible events of last week, are things that bad? Something else is going on here.

With every respect to the victims, they were citizens of France. Someone - and one can only guess who - decided to make a display of this as a boost to his political agenda? It may well be considered "tasteless" to question this: the huge cost of transporting caskets, the state-subsidized burial costs in space that Israeli citizens have to battle for. We get the appallingly soulless "drawers" because there's inadequate space. The question must be asked - as sad an occasion as this is - who pays for this public relations exercise? No prizes for the correct answer. Netanyahu went to Paris at the last minute sensing only that it would do his image here good. And it was used to great effect: the royal waves every few minutes as though it was all about him. And so is this exercise.

LIVING in Israel. These poor souls did not make this decision of free will. Still I know of many, that while having jolly good time being alive abroad stipulate, that they'd be buried in the Holy Land, and feeling very "Zionistic" about it :-))

In the past, sir, Jews had little choice but to "stick it out." Where would we go? Who would take us in? That, praise Ha'Shem, is no longer the case. Our home has been restored to the Jewish people. As to why so many Jews in France wish to flee -- the hate is palpable. There is good reason for Jewish people to want to leave. The next premier of France may very well be Marine Le Pen. So, what is there for the Jews in France? Untrammeled hatred from the Moslems? Or untrammeled hatred from the Fascists? Occam's razor. Baruch Ha'Shem, the Jewish people have an alternative. Medinat Israel. Yes, Reuven, things really are that bad.

made all kinds of comments on Ynet..some good, some crazy, some simply insane. So what! Bottom line is this...we Jews have no god damn business staying in the galut any time longer. My only kids are in Israel, my parents are gone and buried in Montreal. This past Shabbos, a fellow congregant asked me why I am still in Montreal. I said, we all get used to, to what we are used to. Truth be told, we are kidding ourselves. There is no future for us here in either Canada, the USA or anywhere else for that matter. The only hope is in Israel. Now if i can only get a good Dr to take care of my prostate I am ready to go.

"What were there wishes about burial?" Sorry, but you lost me at "there." The word is "their." Kind of discounts your comment, big time, you know? You're an ignorant stumblebum, and you speak perhaps for your uneducated self, and certainly not for the Jewish people. Get an education before you post your vomit.
