Would this be the same France that surrendered meekly to Hitler in 1940 and took an active part in sending their own Jewish citizens to Polish Nazi concentration camps to be killed? TD

The ambassador’s letter suggests Washington intends to make protection of Jewish communities a central element of its diplomatic pressure on European allies.
"France summoned U.S. Ambassador Charles Kushner on Sunday after he published a scathing open letter in the Wall Street Journal to President Emmanuel Macron, accusing the French government of failing to adequately combat rising antisemitism and warning that “public statements haranguing Israel embolden extremists.”
"The diplomatic confrontation escalates tensions between Washington and Paris over France’s approach to Jewish safety and Middle East policy, with Kushner’s Wall Street Journal letter — dated Monday, August 25, but released to the press late Sunday afternoon — marking an extraordinary public rebuke from a sitting U.S. envoy to his host nation’s leader ...
... "The ambassador painted a grim picture of French Jewish life, declaring that “antisemitism has long scarred French life, but it has exploded since Hamas’s barbaric assault on Oct. 7, 2023.” He continued: “In France, not a day passes without Jews assaulted in the street, synagogues or schools defaced, or Jewish-owned businesses vandalized. Your own Interior Ministry has reported antisemitic incidents even at preschools.”
Kushner then delivered his most pointed criticism of Macron’s Middle East policy: “Public statements haranguing Israel and gestures toward recognition of a Palestinian state embolden extremists, fuel violence, and endanger Jewish life in France. In today’s world, anti-Zionism is antisemitism—plain and simple.”
Drawing on his personal connection to President Donald Trump, Kushner wrote: “President Trump and I have Jewish children and share Jewish grandchildren. I know how he feels about antisemitism, as do all Americans.” He detailed Trump’s current aggressive anti-antisemitism measures: “He directed the Education Department to enforce civil-rights protections for Jewish students on university campuses, making clear that harassment and discrimination won’t be tolerated.”
The letter outlined additional Trump administration actions: “He expanded resources for the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Homeland Security to safeguard synagogues and Jewish schools. He ordered strict vetting to bar entry for foreigners espousing antisemitic hatred and revoked visas for foreign agitators. He oversaw the deportation of Hamas sympathizers and cut funding to organizations promoting antisemitic incitement.” . . .

Dear President Macron,
On the 81st anniversary of the Allied Liberation of Paris, which ended the deportation of Jews from French soil, I write out of deep concern over the dramatic rise of antisemitism in… pic.twitter.com/XnWeikLLHg
