In contrast, French Jews are experiencing significant fear due to the breakdown of law and order, recalling historical vulnerabilities. The unrest provides Trump with a narrative to support his anti-immigration stance and allows Israeli diplomacy to dismiss French criticism. The article notes that while a synagogue was ransacked, the primary concern for French Jews is the general lawlessness and the authorities' ability to ensure safety.
