French Jewish Defense League Patrols Streets.

Publication: Israel Faxx
Date: Friday, June 16 2006

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."
