Whom are French Jews to believe ahead of the general election’s second round, this coming Sunday?

In practical terms, that leaves them with no other choice but President Macron’s centrist coalition, Ensemble, or a few non-France Unbowed left-wing parties — the socialists, the communists, or the Greens. Yet those parties, awkwardly enough, are running as partners to France Unbowed within the left’s umbrella bloc, the New Popular Front, but are supposed to switch sides and join the Macronists as soon as the election is over.
