Why Do So Many French Jews Support The National Front?

From the Forward:

The number of Jews who voted for the far-right National Front party soared in the most recent presidential election from the previous two votes, surveys showed.
In the surveys of French Jews, some 13.5 percent of 1,095 respondents who self-identified as Jews said they voted for National Front President Marine Le Pen in the 2012 presidential elections.
Asked about the two previous presidential elections, from 2002 and 2007, respectively only 6.1 percent and 4.3 percent of Jewish voters polled said they chose the National Front candidate — Le Pen’s father and predecessor as party leader, Jean-Marie Le Pen, who has a history of convictions for “inciting racial hatred” and Holocaust denial. Marine Le Pen has worked to rehabilitate the party and recently entered a war of words in the media with her father over his suggestion to put a Jewish singer “in the oven.”

From comments to Steve Sailer:

* European ‘right of center’ is useless. Look at Merkel and Cameron. It doesn’t defend blood and soil.

Likewise, European ‘left of center’ is useless. Look at Blair and Hollande. It’s not for the working class. It’s all about caving to global oligarchs and homos.

* The Jews come for the most part from the Arab/Muslim world – they know the Arabs and this is why they left – they did not trust the Arabs to rule over them. In looking at how things turned out, I think their decision was a wise one. But if they left Algeria because of the Arabs, and were vindicated by history, why would they possibly want the Arabs ruling over them in any way in France? The only way to stop that is to vote “right” or to leave France. And they are doing both. The want to live.

* Jews can be won over as powerful and ruthless allies. If that happens, some excuse will be found to put a stop to the Islamification of Europe.

* It’s not just the Jews in Western Europe who vote right wing parties. Also the gay population tends to vote much more right wing there.

It’s not strange. These two are the main targets of Muslim violence in Europe and right-wing parties are the only ones who take their plight seriously.
