Jews: main target of religious hate crimes in France

On Friday, the French Interior Ministry reported 2,489 offenses targeting religious minorities in France last year, 1,320 of which were anti-Semitic. A total of 843 were directed against Christians, and 326 were directed against Muslims (an 88 percent increase compared to 2024). Jews are by far the largest target, even though they make up only 0.6 percent of the population. (France is roughly 10 percent Muslim and 60 percent Christian.) By opening its gates to large Muslim populations and by repeatedly siding against the State of Israel, French society is becoming hostile to Jews. There is a reason why this is “the one minority society loves to hate.”
