    The head of the National Bureau for Vigilance Against Antisemitism, or BNVCA, Sammy Ghozlan, said Wednesday that “the ‘Yellow Jackets’ movement has an anti-Semitic base that repeats conspiracy theories about Jews and power.”

    Launched last month as a protest against a proposed rise in diesel and fuel taxes, the movement has expanded into an anti-government drive featuring violent riots that have shut down the French capital several times. Some protesters have been filmed carrying signs and chanting slogans describing French President Emmanuel Macron as a “whore of the Jews” and their “puppet.”

    Such language “was present from the very beginning of the protests and persists,” Ghozlan said, although he added that it exists “on the margins” of the protests. France has seen a 69 percent increase in anti-Semitic incidents in 2018 over the past year.

    Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein, president of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, said these developments will likely result in an increase in immigration by French Jews to Israel, or aliyah, which his group promotes in France and other countries.

    In the first 10 months of 2018, more than 2,300 French Jews have made aliyah, while the number of those seeking information about aliyah from the foundation has increased by 30 percent in recent weeks, the foundation said in a statement. The foundation said it is beefing up its France operations.

    It all stems from toxic Trumf and his love for the Charlottesville KKK rally.

    Of course, the muslims are the at the helm of these violent protests. They’re thanking their host country for allowing them entry to France.

    Today it’s France but it’s also Western Europe that’s doomed. The day will come, when the muslims will become the majorities in all of the Western European countries that hosted them, sooner in some countries than others but within 30 to 50 years they will become the majority in each country within Western Europe.
    The maths is simple, for every 8.9 children produced by muslim families in the UK there’s only 2.4 produced by non-muslim Brits, and it’s irreversible. The same pattern follows through in each and every country that welcomed them in with arms wide open.

    The Jews will flea to Israel but where will the gentile Europeans escape to, in order to avoid being slaughtered by their very neighbors, for not accepting Sharia law or better, for not converting to islam.

    In Europe of yesteryear, Jewish blood flowed freely in almost every European country at one time or another. I leave it to your imagination to determine as to what might happen to the non-muslim gentiles who refuse to convert to islam once Sharia law goes into effect.

    Drivers in France have to have a yellow vest in their car. Anyone who has a beef can put on a yellow vest and throw rocks at the police. These demonstrations include a few of most everyone.
