ANALYSIS: Where does all the hatred towards Jews in France come from?

Jews in France make up 0.7 percent of the population, so why is there so much hatred directed at them? John Lichfield examines the reasons behind yet another spike in anti-Semitism in a country which has a sorry history of animosity towards its Jewish community.

There are 467,500 jews in France, less than one per cent of the population. And yet over half the acts of racism recorded in the country are anti-Semitic graffitti or verbal or physical attacks on Jews.

As thousands prepared to demonstrate in Paris tonight against anti-Semitism, 80 grave-stones were desecrated with swastikas at a Jewish cemetery in Alsace. The weekend’s latest Gilets Jaunes protests were disfigured by the violent abuse heaped on the Jewish philosopher Alain Finkielkraut when he climbed out of a taxi near a handful of demonstrators in Montparnasse.

It's tempting to say "it's due to all the Jews that gave aid and comfort to the Communists both during and after WW-2",but basically those are the people running things there right now.
