For the first time in French history, the country’s next government risks falling into the hands of not just one, but two different coalitions whose worldviews could not be more dissimilar, but both of which have been home to the toxin of antisemitism.
It is, of course, yesterday’s news that the extreme-right wing party Rassemblement national, or National Rally, pummeled the other parties in last Sunday’s elections for the European Parliament. Their electoral list, led by Marine Le Pen’s young protégé Jordan Bardella, won over 30% of the vote, more than lapping the list representing President Emmanuel Macron’s party, with the Socialist list led by Raphaël Glucksmann a close third.

Faced with a future led by either the National Rally or its opponents, French Jews often feel like they're living in exile.
