More than 200,000 people took the streets of French cities on Sunday to protest the dramatic rise in antisemitism since the Hamas pogrom in southern Israel on Oct. 7.<\/span><\/p>\n

The vast majority \u2014 182,000, according to the news outlet\u00a0Le Monde<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 marched in the capital Paris, led by senior French politicians including Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne, whose Jewish father was deported to the Auschwitz concentration camp during the Nazi occupation of World War II. More than 20,000 gathered in provincial cities as well, among them Lyon, Nice and Grenoble.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sunday\u2019s march came at the close of a nervous weekend for Jews across Europe, with 300,000 supporters of Hamas marching through central London on Saturday in what was billed as a \u201cpeace march.\u201d In France, more than 1,200 antisemitic outrages have been recorded since the atrocities in Israel, a national record.<\/span><\/p>\n

Billed as a \u201cgreat civic march\u201d against antisemitism, Sunday\u2019s event was overshadowed by a\u00a0bitter dispute<\/a>\u00a0over the participation of the far right Rassemblement National (RN \u2014 \u201cNational Rally\u201d), accused by critics of exploiting Jewish fears of antisemitism to push its anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim agenda, as well as the decision of the far left La France Insoumise (LFI \u2014 \u201cFrance Rising\u201d) to boycott the event on the grounds, according to the party\u2019s leader, Jean-Luc M\u00e9lenchon, that the overriding issue was the need for a ceasefire in Gaza.<\/span><\/p>\n

Several protestors jeered as the RN\u2019s leader, Jordan Bardella, and its former leader, Marine Le Pen, arrived at the march in Paris on Sunday.<\/span><\/p>\n

The march took place under heavy security along a one-and-a-half-mile route on Paris\u2019s Left Bank to the Place Edmond Rostand, a square named after a French playwright who was an outspoken supporter of Alfred Dreyfus, the Jewish army officer falsely accused of spying for Germany at a milestone trial in 1894 that unleashed a wave of violent antisemitism across France.<\/span><\/p>\n

Several demonstrators expressed fear that the situation facing France\u2019s Jewish community of 450,000 was becoming worse.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m here because I\u2019m Jewish, French, because what\u2019s happening isn\u2019t acceptable,\u201d Emilie \u2014 a 45 year-old marcher \u2014 told\u00a0Le Monde<\/em>. \u201cThere is no need to mix the conflict in the Middle East and the Jews of France.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Another marcher, 80-year-old Vartan Kaladjian, said he was protesting because of the increase in attacks on Jews. An Armenian married to a Jewish woman, Kaladjian expressed disappointment that French President Emmanuel Macron had been absent from the march. Macron\u2019s presence would have shown \u201ceveryone that he is with us,\u201d Kaladjian said.<\/span><\/p>\n
