Centre Israel Jewish Affairs and Del Negro

Del Negro: The CIJA is responding to the increasing number of calls and e-mails by providing expert advice on employment opportunities and the incredibly complicated immigration procedures, he says, according to CTV. Del Negro says the main reason French Jews are looking to leave is safety. Luciano Del Negro, a spokesperson for Quebec Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, says his organization has recently seen a marked increase in the number of inquiries from French-Jewish citizens. There have been an increasing number of anti-Semitic attacks in France, including January terrorist shooting at a kosher market in Paris. Having armed policemen and soldiers with machine guns certainly heightens the sense of insecurity, he added, referring to the stepped-up protection France deployed to protect Jewish sites after the attack on the Hyper Cacher market, which killed four Jews. A mere stroll in the streets of Paris will give you that feeling of insecurity, particularly when you’re attending Jewish day school or your synagogue, Del Negro told CTV News Channel on Sunday.
