France: More Jews Have Joined ISIS

There are a number of Jews among the more than 1,000 French citizens who have joined the Islamic State, a French government official told Israel’s Channel 2 news.

The official said French Interior Ministry intelligence shows there are people “of Jewish extraction,” some of whom converted to Islam, among those who joined the Islamic terrorist group.

The shocking revelation comes days after reports surfaced that a French Jewish teenager was among the approximately 100 young women who have left France to join ISIS in Syria during the past year and a half.

Meyer Habib, a Jewish member of the French parliament, claimed, there is no official proof they actually joined IS. If a Jewish girl did join the Islamic State, “it really is the end of the world” and complicates matters, Habib told Channel 2, according to Haaretz.

“It is inconceivable that this would happen,” a French Rabbi was quoted by Channel 2. “There are many rumors swirling and we hope an official source will update us. Some say the Jewish girl converted, and that is also disconcerting.”
