(Jewish Group) Citing Israel, French Freemasons warns members not to attend Jewish community events

(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)

Leaders of the Freemason movement in Paris urged members not to attend events organized by France’s Jewish communities because of their support for Israel, which they said increases anti-Semitism.

The circular issued this week by the Grand Orient of France received attention in the French media partly because of how anti-Semites and conspiracy theorists there often target Freemasons as a branch of world Jewry.

The reference to Israel appeared in a draft resolution circulated during this week’s congress of the Grand Orient in Rouen, Le Parisien reported Tuesday. It was rescinded and senior Freemasons said it had been sent out by mistake, but the original document was obtained by bloggers covering the movement, which has tens of thousands of members.

The document called CRIF, the umbrella group of French Jewish communities, “a follower of policies” promoted by Israel of “religious extreme right-wing ideology” that leads to “divisions and rise in anti-Semitism.” The draft resolution has not been adopted.

Assisted us with immigration to the USA, which was effectively closed to Jews at the time.

Basically, they found him a job in the USA, which permitted a visa.

I understand this was not an uncommon thing for them to do, so much so they became hunted by the Nazis themselves.
