ABSTRACT — In France, as everywhere else in the world, the Six Days war led to a re-awakening of the national feeling and the union of Diaspora Jews around Israel. Most certainly, during the previous years (1947-1966) a liking toward this country, a blending of admiration and respect, spread at large ; but the Jewish community was first and foremost attached to France. So that, when, for a short period following the allied campaign around Suez, the French- Israelian friendship was celebrated, the favourable image of the State of Israel granted by the administration and the non-Jewish opinion ensured its “intellectual tranquillity” (Raymond Aron). But on 1967 November 27, a breaking-off occurred. The general de Gaulle appeals the feelings of the Jewish community with a simple phrase. Since then, a new era has begun, when the new Franco-Judaism breaks off with the pattern of integration inherited from the Age of the Enlightenment and asks for the acknowledgement of its identity particularism, which means the feeling to be a French citizen as well as a Jewish citizen attached to the state of Israel.
