With the second round of French parliamentary elections underway today (Sunday), French Jews see themselves as at a loss as to who to vote for.

For the Jews, the choice is between two evils, but they don't know who counts as the "lesser" of them. As A. told JFeed "This time the situation is complication, the choice is between Hiter and Stalin. It's like choosing between shooting and hanging."

The radical right espouses the superiority of the French race and the closing of doors to the Muslims flooding France, or at least reducing their numbers, while many of the party leaders are antisemites and against Jews. On the other hand, the radical left enables the Islamist takeover in Europe which itself leads to increasing antisemitism.
