Rises in antisemitism in modern France have been linked to the intensifying Israeli – Palestinian conflict . Since the Gaza War in 2009 , decreases in antisemitism have been reversed . A report compiled by the Coordination Forum for Countering Anti-Semitism singled out France in particular among Western countries for antisemitism . Between the start of the Israeli offensive in Gaza in late December and the end of it in January , an estimated hundred antisemitic acts were recorded in France . This compares with a total of 250 antisemitic acts in the whole of 2007 . In 2012 , Mohammed Merah killed four Jews , including three children , at the Ozar HaTorah Jewish school in Toulouse . Shortly after the Charlie Hebdo shooting in 2015 , Amedy Coulibaly murdered four Jewish patrons of a Kosher supermarket in Paris and held fifteen people hostage in the Porte de Vincennes siege . In response to these high-profile attacks , Jewish immigration to Israel from France increased by 20 % , to 5,100 per year , between 2014 and 2015
