Explanation:

Following attacks on Jews in France in 2016, the leader of the Jewish community in Marseilles, Zvi Ammar, urged fellow Jews to avoid wearing their Kippa so that Anti-Semites would not attack them.

His position however was challenged and criticized by many including the Grand Rabbi of France, Haim Korsia who believed that it was important that they do not cede fear as this would send the wrong message that could damage the standing of the religion in years to come.
