Years ago the couple immigrated to israel after so many had received a series of Death Threats but he comes back to france every few weeks for the 77 year old former policeman the fight against antisemitism has become a personal mission. Of. This time they will be spending a whole week in paris well monique will be enjoying time with their grandchildren sunny as always has no end of appointments he spent months planning a meeting for victims of antisemitic attacks. So you prefer course that of course my family would prefer me to stay home. But im going to be very busy all week so there wont be much time for the. Most just time with this. I found myself a mission and its one i have to complete their initial. You know they. Are. The family used to it will be happy to see him but they know he wont have much time. Because learns will be staying with a son and his family as they always do when theyre in paris. First they catch up with their grandchildren School Grades a bit like in the old days when they all lived in the same city. Only. If it is. So you were sure its hard being so far away but we talk on the phone a lot to keep in touch. With. Deciding to leave the country like the gaza instead its something a lot of french jews do these days france is home to the largest Jewish Population in europe and the 3rd largest in the world after israel and the us. In many parts of paris jews express their identity and religion openly and it would seem confidently. Kosher bakeries side by side with kosher butchers and restaurants. And all the ducks jews who pray openly on the streets. But a series of fatal attacks has left an increasing number of jews now fearing for their safety and from. The district of south now has a memorial to commemorate the attack on a kosher supermarket in 2015 in which 4 jews were murdered. Around 30000 jews are reported to have already left france for israel others have been moving from the suburbs to city centers because they feel safer there stus. It is now 8 30 in the evening semi grassland has come to the lady line area of the city to meet the victim of an anti semitic attack. On. The lab and senor moved here only recently. Mommy. I love an image with all the while our. You never know im back in the place i havent packed my things for the bathroom these are my plates and everything i need for. A few months ago unknown individuals broke into her apartment and vandalized it. The perpetrator scratched and she semitic slogans into the doors of her car and slashed the tires the police advised her to leave her apartment immediately. Takes time to really settle that. Under lots of words of relief from the most important thing is that youre now in safety for. The surgery or will. We pay a high price for this anti semitism. Ok we werent physically in gentle. But i have to ask myself why just because we do you know thats actually what the problem is it makes me want to cry. We used to have a quiet life. Sometimes i cant take it anymore. You have to be strong. At least youre here now. Because no one even alone here ever since it all happened he sent me messages every single week asking how we doing he also wants me to talk about my experiences at the meeting with other victims. I think talking about i dont use a form of therapy. In. The next morning because line is on his way to the office set up with some like minded friends. His mobile phone never stops ringing effectively his own hotline for jews in distress. New cases arrive on an almost daily basis as the work continues to pile up for the volunteers. And. Even when sam is in israel he calls several times an hour he might be in israel but essentially hes with us here in the office the local people. They gather here every day providing advice and comfort to victims and putting them in contact with lawyers they work also involves raising awareness about anti semitism among the public. And. Some of the alerts they receive come from the general public. Like this cartoon theyve just received by email. Well in a few someone sent me this poster asking us to do something about it. You can see an arm with a name which is supposed to symbolize jewish financial power. You know with that arm is controlling president mark kong like a puppet. Threatening a french citizen. The post is by a right wing nationalist group that posts from an address outside of france they discuss what to do they say jews in france after a said by both islamists and right wing radicals. Is. One Group Accuses the jews of being on the side of israel and such against the palestinians but. The other group believe that the jews rule the world there could be. This it were younger. Keep some division. But its the same a grid. Both groups want to see the jews disappear. And to dominate and destroy them. But sometimes the paperwork has to wait because some e. Is eager to hit the streets where the people are. He feels that paris has changed a lot in recent years a number of jewish run stores have closed he says especially in the bond years. And the few that do still exist have the military for protection. But im from a different people this is will filippo goosed in the 11th on busy mall where my dad nor lived an elderly woman who was murdered. She was stabbed to death. A holocaust survivor reportedly killed by a muslim neighbor of north african descent the murder in april 2017 caused outrage across the country and divided opinion. Some attributes at the crime to drug addiction for others it was murder fueled by anti semitism. Learn one thing is beyond doubt the case further increased many jews fear of being attacked. Down yoke noire can still not believe what happened to his mother in his apartment outside paris he has boxes full of treasured mementos. How can you kill an 85 year old woman she was old and sick and disabled. So much hatred. For. His mother had managed to survive the holocaust as a child and the need to be murdered in old age probably on account of her heritage for the neocon or intolerable. There. Is nothing worse than human stupidity racism and anti semitism there are so many issues that are genuinely important you know on the loss of people fight each other over stupid things like religion. Paul tibbets is. It something terrible. Censorship of the. Few final scenes were never able to clarify the killers most if some a cousin tells us as he heads off one small for the ball here. But nobody can dispute is that the number of attacks on jews in france has been on the rise but almost 70 percent in the past year 11. Digital equipment years were 93. 00 begins or an hour and 3 of. The 93rd step of the law is notorious for its concrete housing projects unemployment and Violent Crime this is the area where some egos learn spent almost 40 years as a detective. You should be or should be attacked or jewish boy with a 9 year. Strip them men left him lying there. You want me to be took off his pants and his shirt. And i left him there all night. For you know this semi himself received threats while living in paris his car was set on fire and 2013 he and his wife decided to leave france. And it didnt keep. You i was the victim of an anti semitic attack. That i also read threats from racist an islamist organizations. These things though in this case have missed a can eventually i was scared that my family and i would get into serious trouble. In a series because of my fight against antisemitism actual question and unfortunately it. Thats one of. Todays sonny is missing his old friend has some. Of the imaam at the most going to 7 often told scene is one of the few in months to speak out openly against growing anti semitism among muslims in fronts. The 2 used to meet every few days 14. Hours on that theyre looking for me and my son was the 1st to recognize the danger for french jews. Who actually made me told me about young men involved in criminal behavior who said they wanted to rivendell he would. Throw a bomb and i asked him if killing jews would allow them to enter paradise. I was shocked i thought if things are that bad when jews in france are genuinely in danger. You know they will pop up to the school sadly its something a lot of people dont want to hear what they think theyre talking about it will play straight into the hands of right wingers but the opposite is true you know if you know if french people dont hear muslims condemning anti semitism and the murder of me. Then i can understand them becoming prejudiced towards muslims. Its that kind of frank talking that has also put the man himself in danger you know has Police Protection after being repeatedly threatened and attacked by radical islamists this photo is from 2010 with bodyguards bringing children me to safety after an attempted attack his family now also live abroad due to the danger they face in france. The islamists dont like this camaraderie their sex like the Muslim Brotherhood and the salafist they dont like seeing any mom reaching out his hand in dialogue. And theyve broken into my place twice which is why i swap apartments every 2 days its a good question will move wont he take it with the group that attacked remorseless shakier seen collective. The father of violent terrorist Palestinian Islamism but in the view long it will be extremely dangerous you know we asked the police for out of. What it. Said for 4 months they protested right outside here they broke down the door and came in sight they shouted that we ought to die. It was a difficult time. Why did it all happen. Because im a mom reached out to the Jewish Community in. New orleans. Commitment has earned in derision among certain parts of the Muslim Community who dismiss him as the imaam of the jews. Unperturbed he is sure is something that he will be attending the meeting the next day bringing together victims of anti semitic attacks. Sami takes a spontaneous decision to pay a visit to the small arab market outside the mosque this is his old patch a place where he still known as the kosher cop for some locals. Hes wearing traditional jewish headgear not out of religious conviction but rather out of defiance in response to the attacks in recent years. One wearing it as a test to see what happens. I dont think it will bother anyone but the. Semi grew up in algeria and he always felt at home among arabs. I was the. Only. One vendor becomes aggressive after seeing our camera team filming its not us but some me that he threatens forming a mock this law with his hands and pointing it at him. What are you doing here. Are you threatening me why. I pay for this stand i work here. Theres no need to start threatening people because there was. Then some you diffuse the situation with something that also helped him in the old days his algerian heritage and fluency in arabic the man is suddenly much friendlier. Where were you from constantine. Oh ill cheerier. Then it is reluctant to explain his aggressive behavior. But its certainly had nothing to do with the me being jewish. People for the pleasure i dont care if youre jewish to me everyone is the same with you there will be brothers for me to sit with. Apocrypha discipline home and if i leave them the misspeaking the same language and knowing the same codes makes everything a lot easier. Back then when i was in the police speaking arabic was always a big help. Plus knowing about islam. What to respect and what is forbidden you. Know its like the. Gift of. A man house and child gurney is likewise a champion of dialogue. Hes come to the main synagogue in paris with a group of young muslims. Who could what is very brave of you to come here today i imagine it cant be easy for you. But. Its a nice gesture. And there are probably a few people in your neighborhood who arent too keen on you going to a synagogue and talking to jews i can imagine thats how the response would be. If youre like the young muslim visitors say hes right they know people who would never consider doing such a thing. Stuff as of this is my 1st time in a synagogue i had no idea how it looked on the inside. One of the 62. 00 i expected it to be smaller a mole compound. Before. The for all policies its amazing of particular significance. It would not. Leave. Me. If you took on took a little mom really glad to see you all here today. Were used to seeing jews and a lot of christian visitors on our tours for the public. Including school groups. But sometimes muslim parents dont give permission for their children to come along. By the time so me arrives at his sons apartment for dinner the pits is always cold that is something his family are used to but he was always busy when he was with the police department. These family get togethers have become rare since the parents moved to israel. With all. The great jesus god and his wife maria talk regularly about the pros and cons of also immigration to israel for now at least theyre staying put because because theyre on the cover. We have jobs here when i could you know which i like the schools. Only for school with friends it will be difficult for us adapting to the culture in the schools over there. Is a Division Ready he was in. Some ways granddaughters tell him they have not yet had any threats. And your friends have never experienced anything like that for once i guess but it wasnt that bad there was this man outside the synagogue who called us dirty jews. Their mother has a different take on events and reports and developments at the jewish school. Yes it was a movie that its crazy to see how people numbers are decreasing. They used to be 22. 00 kids per class they were for. Now its only 16 or 17. Years i wanted to vandeven what like a song and after each school year they say goodbye to pupils headed for israel. Plus your increasingly hearing about someone else whos gone astray if. You didnt used to hear that so often. And you say what him to you is he but you dont a lawyer who is now left its really successful and an expert in their field here. And now theyll have to start from scratch in israel. You know its serious when someone like that leaves. It shows the gravity of the situation. Every one of us. But you dont have to go to israel but if you do you shouldnt have to fully. If you have to leave leave if you want to stay stay. But jews should not have to leave like they used to be because they were driven out. When we left algeria we fled. To.
