The Charles Kushner complaint to the Prime Minister Macron last week
doesn't make sense to me.
France, like many other countries, has had antisemitism inherent in its society seemingly forever. It's just a debate about the degree. To my understanding, French Jews have not been targeted and attacked by native French, immigrants, Muslims, on a large wholesale degree as of late.
To my way of thinking, the motivation behind the formal protest is one of two things:
1. To keep his name in the papers. He appears to be a lackluster ambassador and is feeling overlooked.
2. Like Trump angling for the Nobel Peace Prize, Kushner (and Trump) want the French Légion d'Honneur (Legion of Honor), France's highest honor.

experts agree 
Trump and Netanyahu are pissed at Macron for announcing France will recognize a Palestinian state. They want Macron to capitulate.
Watch for more such undiplomatic letters to the leaders of the UK, Canada, Australia etc.
Apparently when a state wants to recognize Palestine it causes a wild upturn in anti-semitism. Or something
