Sharon Call for Aliyah Sparks French Protests.

By VOA News

A call by Israel's prime minister for French Jews to immigrate immediately to the Jewish state has sparked protests from France's Jewish community, as well as from the French government.

Several French government and Jewish officials have wasted no time in reacting

to Sunday's remarks by Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, who urged Jews to emigrate from France to the Jewish state, citing what he described as a rising tide of anti-Semitism. Sharon's appeal was made at a particularly sensitive time for France, where anti-Semitic attacks have been on the increase in recent years.
