Conseil représentatif des institutions juives de France (CRIF) (English: Representative Council of French Jewish Institutions)[1] is an umbrella organization of other groups representing the interests of French Jews.
It opposes antisemitism and policies that they perceive to be antisemitic. It generally supports Zionism and the state of Israel, although in 2004 CRIF refuted Israeli Prime MinisterAriel Sharon's characterization of antisemitism in France and his calls for French Jews to emigrate to Israel.
On 20 November 2004, CRIF accused the French government of failing to protect citizens from broadcasts by Hezbollah's al-Manar TV, which includes films that CRIF asserts are antisemitic and incite Muslims to attack Jews. (Reuters-Haaretz) Al-Manar was blocked by the CSA. It has opposed the beatification of Pope Pius XII, stating that a majority of historians disagreed with the position that Pius worked ceaselessly to save Jews.[3]
