We must stand by French Jews as we stood by French cartoonists and police #JeSuisJuif

I am a Muslim but #JeSuisJuif as I stand with the oppressed in the face of being targetted for murder. I call upon Muslims to do the same!

Some used the hashtag to express their anger over the danger Jews still face in Europe today. Here's to my great great grandparents who left Europe for America so I could say things like #JeSuisJuif and not get killed for it.

Other Jews used the hashtag to express their unease about the quality of international solidarity with Jews.Yesterday the world said #JeSuisCharlie. Today, will the world say #JeSuisJuif? pic.twitter.com/1trH8EzvFF

Anyone recall a #JeSuisJuif hash tag after the Toulouse school attack? http://t.co/upYnxkOIZi

Scrolling through users of the hashtag, it is clear the majority of those using it are Jewish. The #JeSuisJuif hashatg is similar to the #JeSuisAhmed hashtag, the latter made in solidarity with Ahmed Merabet, a 40-year-old police officer who was killed by the terrorists during their attack on the offices of the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.If you tweeted #JeSuisCharlie but won't tweet #JeSuisJuif today, I think we can all figure out the reason. pic.twitter.com/eVtOYbvlrP

Hope that #JeSuisJuif and #JeSuisAhmed start to overlap on Twitter. #solidarity
