Assessment
French Jewish teenagers are directly conveying to US diplomatic leadership the persistence of antisemitism in their schools, years after the October 7 attack triggered a global surge in hate crimes. The meeting with Ambassador Charles Kushner signals that the embassy is treating this as a sustained crisis, not a momentary spike. The key question is whether this dialogue will translate into concrete pressure on French educational authorities.
