About a dozen people were inside the synagogue in the southwestern city of Toulouse when a car was set on fire and pushed into the door of the building, which suffered only slight damage.
Police found unexploded petrol bombs inside a second car, which did not catch fire. Both cars were stolen.
The attack was one in a series of incidents that have led to fears that anger over Israel’s offensive in Gaza could trigger violence in France, which is home to Europe’s biggest Muslim and Jewish communities.
President Nicolas Sarkozy has vowed to crack down on acts of anti-Semitic and anti-Islamic violence.
good job.
It seems to me that France has what must be one of the worst responses to anti-Semitism. It just keeps happening. Why? Because they don’t care if we are targeted, harassed or even killed. They didn’t care during WWII, and they don’t care now. Yes, of course there were those in France during the War that helped Jews, but they were far and few between. Do we really need to be drinking that french wine? Or eating that imported french cheese? We must let those people know that their “response” to these attacks will not be tolerated.
in response to vildechaia comment #2 , I couldn’t agree with you more, however the answer is not to boycott Kosher French products, for you will only be hurting a-few Jewish people/companies that are trying to make parnasah (with a niche).
the answer by far, has to be on a much much! larger scale. With close to a million Jewish people living in France (although greatly outnumbered by the Arab/Muslim population) Jews play an integral role in day to day French government / business / commerce etc. [although easier said then done] it is for the French Jews to unite and show the powers that be that we wont just sit by and tolerate anti Semitism and that we are a force to be reckoned with.!
