French Jewish Defense League Patrols Streets.

By IsraelNationalNews.com

French Jews have formed their own Jewish Defense League, without any connection to the U.S. group, to patrol the streets and protect Jews from anti-Semitism.

The group was formed in 2000 and has become a silent police, with members who practice hand-to-hand

combat and wear scarves or masks but not uniforms. Jean Yves Camus of the European Center of Research and Action on Racism and Anti-Semitism told the Associated Press,

"JDL is the symbol of a generation that says, 'We won't bow our heads.' League leaders feel that the police are powerless when it comes to stopping anti-Semitism so they have taken security into their own hands."
