The Deutsche Presse-Agentur reports that anti-semitism in France was down sharply on 2005. There were 504 anti-Semitic acts or threats reported, down 48 % from the previous year, the Office of the French National Police (DPGN) said Thursday.
The good news:
Police said that increased surveillance of sensitive sites, preventive work in French schools and a decrease in tension in the Mideast all contributed to the decline in anti-Semitism.
The Bad news:
However, another reason for the relatively good results is that 2004 was the worst year for anti-Semitic acts in France since authorities began registering the statistic, in 1995.
