Over 180,000 protestors march against antisemitism in France.

On Sunday, tens of thousands of people protested antisemitic incidents that have sharply increased since the Israel-Hamas conflict began on the streets of France.

With an estimated 105,000 participants, the march in Paris became the biggest anti-Semitic demonstration since the 1990 protest against the destruction of the Jewish cemetery in Carpentras.

Politicians such as former presidents Nicolas Sarkozy and Francois Hollande, as well as Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne, joined protestors in the French capital. They raised a banner that said, “For the Republic, against antisemitism,” together.

fewer protestors turned out in towns like Nice, Lyon, and Marseille. Marches across the nation drew over 182,000 participants, according to BFM TV, which cited the interior ministry.

French President Emmanuel Macron, tensions over the Israel-Hamas conflict have been building in France, especially in the capital, and this has led to an increase in antisemitic events.

In a letter that was published on Saturday in the French daily Le Parisien, Macron denounced the intolerable resurgence of unbridled antisemitism.

There were three times as many antisemitic incidents in France in a single month as there were in the entire prior year.

Macron stated on social media that “a France where our Jewish fellow citizens are afraid is not France, despite not participating in the Sunday march.

He remarked, France is not a place where its citizens are afraid because of their origins or their religion. The unbearable will not be tolerated.
