Jewish cemetery desecrated as anti-Semitic attacks rise in France

Around 80 graves have been desecrated at a Jewish cemetery in eastern France. It comes before planned demonstrations in Paris against the rising number of attacks on France’s Jewish community.

President Emmanuel Macron has condemned anti-Semitic abuse after a prominent intellectual was targeted over the weekend.

Meanwhile, rights groups say the country is also seeing a rise in racism against migrants and xenophobia.
