MORE FRENCH SQUATTERS POURING INTO PALESTINE, WITH THE PROPAGANDA MACHINE SPINNING THE USUAL HACKNEYED RHETORIC ABOUT ANTISEMITISM BEING THE CAUSE: Some 400 French Jews will be making aliyah to Israel Wednesday. 60 families will be moving to Ashdod and Ashkelon. The group is set to arrive aboard two special flights organized by The Jewish Agency for Israel and the Ministry of Aliyah and Immigrant Absorption, and notably is comprised largely of families with young children, including 195 minors and 18 babies according to the Jewish Agency. Ministry of Aliyah and Immigrant Absorption and The Jewish Agency expect more than 5,000 French Jews to immigrate to Israel by the end of the year – compared to 3,289 in 2013. Those figures are made all the more remarkable by the fact that 2013′s figures themselves represented a full 60% increase in aliyah from France to 2012, when 1,917 French Jews moved to Israel.That trend is continuing in 2014, with approximately 2,600 French Jews arriving in Israel during the first six months of the year alone, compared to 812 during the equivalent period in 2013.
