Massive Anti-Antisemitism March Sweeps France

Over 180,000 people, including 100,000 in Paris, marched across France to protest against rising antisemitism amid the Israel-Hamas conflict. Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne, representatives from various political parties, and far-right leader Marine Le Pen attended the peaceful march. French President Emmanuel Macron expressed his support for the protest, calling on citizens to combat the resurgence of antisemitism. The march aimed to show solidarity with the Jewish community and denounce violence and extremism. France, with its history of collaboration with the Nazis during World War II, has seen an alarming increase in antisemitic acts. Macron vowed to prosecute and punish perpetrators, emphasizing that a France where Jewish citizens are afraid is not France.
