Eye on Antisemitism: Resurgent antisemitism in France
What are some of the key factors contributing to the rise of antisemitism in France? How is the dynamic between the Jewish and Muslim communities in Toulouse, and what efforts have been made to address and bridge these divides? Why are Jews leaving France and does that have an impact on the Jewish community and the broader society?
In today’s fifth episode of CEP’s Eye on Antisemitism series, Lucinda explores the resurgence of antisemitism in France with Deputy Mayor Nicole Yardeni from Toulouse. Nicole's previous position as President of the Representative Council of Jewish Institutions of France (CRIF), a national Jewish representative organisation, coincided with the horrific attack against Jewish schoolchildren and a Rabbi in 2012, conducted by Mohamed Merah. Together, they discuss how this event impacted Nicole personally and professionally, and how it shaped her approach to combatting antisemitism.
