Yes France has a history of Anti-Semitism, but it also has a history of pretty much anything not French, and there was a strong anti-immigrant movement back in late 80's early 90's... when I was there in '91 there were news reports of Anti-Semitc vandalism as well as reports of Mosques suffering from arson attacks... however in each case the disgust registered by the society as a whole was pretty apparent (as it was this time), so blaming an entire country or society for the actions of a few is uncalled for... unless you want the same hasty remarks made about hate-related crimes commited in the US....
