Can French Jews carry on as if nothing has changed? Can faith in the Republic, in secularism, in equality, still offer protection in a reality that is shifting rapidly before our eyes? Is it possible that an ancient, rooted, and vibrant community may be quietly approaching its end?

On October 7, 2023, Israel suffered the deadliest terrorist attack in its history. Just weeks later, antisemitic acts in France surged 10-fold. Is this a passing eruption or the beginning of a dangerous new era?
Over 15 months, Dr. Dov Maimon, Senior Fellow at JPPI, and Didier Long conducted an exceptional journalistic investigation. They interviewed 300 individuals – anti-terror judges, police officers, clergy, intellectuals, and everyday Jews – and gained unprecedented access to classified intelligence documents from France’s security services. The conclusions are disturbing, but thoroughly substantiated.
This book reveals the presence of structural antisemitism – not just isolated acts, but a deeply embedded phenomenon within institutions and public discourse. It exposes a patient, calculated Islamist strategy that seeks to undermine the foundations of the Republic, and it confronts a political silence that is not born of ignorance but of willful avoidance.
In parallel, the authors present a first-of-its-kind demographic analysis. The numbers are stark: France has 25 times more Muslims than Jews, 28% of whom hold radical views. Among those under 30, that figure rises to 55%. Particularly chilling are testimonies from French police officers who admit openly that they can no longer protect the Jewish population.
This phenomenon extends beyond France. Identical patterns, failures, and silences are appearing across Western Europe – in Belgium, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands.
The End of French Jewry? is not a book of panic. It is a work of unflinching inquiry and intellectual clarity. It aims to separate blind hope from sober vision. It offers no simple answers – but insists that we ask the difficult questions. Should one leave? Stay and fight? Keep hoping? One thing is certain: the time has come to open our eyes.
