1. I noticed many bearded,olive skined gents wearing yellow.
Alan ,   SA   (12.13.18)
gillets.on my TV....Could they be also furthering an anti-Jew agenda.-Just wondering mmmm
2. Blame the Jews
DSM ,   USA   (12.13.18)
Anyone with even a slight knowledge of history should not be surprised by the amount of antisemitism in France.
3. Hadn't it been sad it actually is very very funny. The human
(12.13.18)
need for believing that, "Yes we Can"(change) makes us deaf to thunderous facts on the ground, thus ignoring the obvious: nothing that happened in Europe 70 plus years ago can undo the very DNA of European fabric of society.
Jews will be ..."The Jew" forever.
The fact that Israel is here should make every member of the "tribe" strive to settle here, thus making us the envy of this wretched world !
(although it seems seems we've always been envied)
4. Incomplete News Reports
Ed ,   USA   (12.13.18)
When explaining who the yellow vest protesters are, news media have said: radicals from the left and from the right and "thugs from the suburbs." Usually, the last is code for Muslims.
5. Le Pen shall take France like an apple from the tree
Cameron   (12.13.18)

7. From the yellow star to the yellow vest ...
Morty Mooze ,   Snow City Canada   (12.13.18)
Louise Farra Cohen said:

Well, I didn't take too long to blame the Jews
So if French Jews are thinking about moving take a look at Israel; The City of Cote Saint-Luc, Quebec, (where French is the "national" language), and even, the only one place for the Jewish people ---
Miami Beach !!!!
8. Scared shit
Ralph ,   Houston   (12.13.18)
French are scared of their un-competitive economy and reach for their traditional security blanket - blame the Jews. How predictable.
9. WOW! WE ARE ALSO BLAMED FOR THAT? SOON, WE WILL BE THE
Iranian Jew ,   LALA LAND   (12.13.18)
Blamed for Global Warming, and any future earthquakes and all kinds of natural disaster anywhere.
10. Maybe they have a point
Yaeir Azulay ,   Paris   (12.13.18)
11. Jews, leave France
C   (12.13.18)
the yellow vests are made up of the far right and the far left.
jews should leave and let them continue with their civil war.
12. In the land of France where the ladies wear no pants
Al   (12.13.18)
And the things they do are enough to kill a Jew..

To THE JEWS OF FRANCE ... GET THE HELL OUTA THERE...
13. As for moving to Quebecstan in Canada..lol
Al   (12.13.18)
Good luck with that..change one pair of dirty socks for another.

Same shit coming to Montreal...very very quickly.
14. Such hypocrites!
Marc ,   Montreal   (12.13.18)
They hate the Jews and yet, they will soon celebrate the birth of a Jew, Jesus!
15. ITS TIME TO MOVE OUT OF FRANCE. THE WRITING IS ON THE WALL.
oleg ,   Florida   (12.13.18)
MOVE TO ISRAEL OR THE USA. SKIP CANADA ITS GETTING BAD THERE TOO. THE LEFTY GOVT DOES NOTHING TO PROTECT THE JEWS THERE.I WAS VISITING ALBERTA 6 MONTHS AGO WHILE EATING IN A BAR I HEARD OPEN TALK ABOUT CORRUPT JEWS I WAS NOT SURPRISED AT ALL. WHEN THE CONSERVATIVES RUN THE GOVT I HEARD NO SUCH TALK. MOSTLY ITS STUPIDITY. KEEP STRONG AND DON'T BE AFRAID. SOONER OR LATER WHEN THE JEWS LEAVE FRANCE. FRANCE WILL BE A RIVER WITH NO WATER.
16. The 'rich' Jews did it again while we are suffering.
tiki ,   belgium   (12.13.18)
May it continue!

Stupidity & hate have their price!
17. French Antisemitism
Ben Dor   (12.13.18)
Jews have a choice.

Leave while you still can, before it's too late.
18. Smear campaign
deavman ,   ta   (12.13.18)

The yellow vests are being discredited by a well prepared smear campaign. Remember what the left media does when they want to destroy someone's reputation, they use the racist/ antisemitic/ homophobic slur...choose one. No different here. The french establishment is defending itself with the usual tactics.
19. USA way worse than Canada!
Marc ,   Montreal   (12.13.18)
At least Jews are not slaughtered on Canada!
20. YOUR NIGHTMARE.
Mr. With-held ,   Buenos Aires   (12.14.18)
Semite, A person speaking one of a group of related languages, presumably derived from a common language, Semitic (see Semitic languages). The term includes Arabs, Akkadians, Canaanites, some Ethiopians, and Aramaean tribes including Hebrews. JEWS OWN THE BANKS BUT DO NOT OWN SEMITISM.
21. France 24 only interviews Israel-hating "experts"
Dean   (12.14.18)
Is it surprising when France 24 media always invite "experts" who despise and denigrate Israel? Leftists are now mostly all antisemites and hate Israel. Macron's mistake is that he is a "climate" believer and a believer in endless immigration from Jew-hating Islamic countries - when you import Jew haters, do not be surprised when they convince the population to hate Jews and go after them like insane maniacs.
22. Yellow vests and anti-Semitism? Uuh?!
Shadowcast ,   Grenoble, France   (12.14.18)
I am French. I mostly read official newspapers and listen to radio, and was road blocked by a local yellow vest group on my way to work (by the way, even though I did not agree with blocking my car, those were pacifist, friendly even). And that is the first time I hear the Yellow Vests linked to anti-Semitism. The ‘yellow vests’ are an heterogeneous group (hard left, hard right, violent rioters that just want to vent their anger by breaking something but mostly, they are people that are fed up with tax increase because they already have difficulties making ends meet. So I am sure someone can always find some anti-Jew banners, slogans, or speech among the rabble. And that is unacceptable. But to say that this movement is taking an anti-Semitic turn is an exaggeration. If you look at the banners and graffitis, you will mostly see things along the lines of ‘F*ck Macron’, ‘Give our money back’, ‘We want to live, not survive’, ‘Rich people, please share some of your wealth’, but the hate against Jews is definitely not the topic here, from my point of view.
23. Yellow Vest, seems like a intelligence operation to me.
Jesus Never Existed ,   NYNY   (12.14.18)
I mean to say lack of intelligence operation. The playbook is so obviously un-natural and follows the same literary narrative as any scripted movie.
24. Yellow vests probably Musl
Redemption Watch   (12.16.18)
Media doesn’t say but yellow vests disrupting France and desecrating French monuments are probably Muslims.
25. peripheral revendications
SamUeler ,   Paris   (12.16.18)
These are absolutely not the main revendications. And the vast majority of protester are not antisemitc, and disapprove this behaviour.
26. Political Islam
ek ,   Dublin   (12.16.18)
This rise in the left politics with the added violence and anti semitism is the hallmark of Political Islam who's objective is to destroy western society. Even in Ireland we see leftest movement being infiltrated and used as dhimmi's is the so called 'Justice for Palistinians' under the guise of the BDS movement. I believe Israel needs stop being in denial. Political Islam is the problem facing the whole of the Western world. Sad to see that the US is making the same mistake in Kosovo as it made in 1922 when the poor souls of Armenia were brutally slaughtered. The same fire will burn in Europe. This yellow vest movement I believe will spread. Don't blame the Jews for the immigration policies of Macron and Merkel who raise taxes to pay for their blunders. O by the way no 23 Jesus did exist as recorded in History. Whether you believe in Him is your choice. That's something Islam will never give you.
27. Problem is Israel does not know how to treat French Olim Cha
Alan ,   SA   (12.17.18)
Chadashim fairly and efficiently.The political management of Israel wants the lot for itself and French Jews dont get a decent deal..If Israel expects to benefit,it should do some soul searching regarding its treatment of French Jews .
28. Blowback
Tony Murphy ,   Cork   (12.17.18)
Well the irony is great. Jews have worked diligently for decades to open White countries' borders to the Third World while assiduously doing the opposite with Israel's borders. Now the invaders and invaded are turning on them. History repeating itself.
