TUNISIA (JNS) – Two Jewish cousins were among those murdered on May 9 near a Tunisian synagogue. Four days later, Tunisian President Kais Saied compared the Jewish state to Nazi Germany.

“While Tunisians protected Jews during the Holocaust, today elderly, women and children are being bombed in Gaza,” he said.
Rabbi Pinchas Goldschmidt, president of the Conference of European Rabbis, called on European governments to condemn Saied’s statement, which he said implies “that the Jews of Tunisia are responsible for the bombing of Gaza.”
“Through such wanton remarks, the president continues to incite further hatred and even attacks against the country’s Jewish community, heaven forbid,” Goldschmidt said. “Since the attack, the Jewish community of Djerba has not been visited or contacted by any members of the government. The Tunisian president together with the relevant authorities should instead be offering support to the Jewish community and working to ensure its safety.”
Aviel Haddad, 30, a dual Israeli-Tunisian, was killed on May 9 alongside his cousin Benjamin Haddad, a 42-year-old French citizen. Three security personnel were also killed when a Tunisian National Guard member opened fire on people near Ghriba Synagogue on May 9 as Lag B’Omer celebrations were underway. A dozen others were injured.
Haddad was buried in Israel on May 12.
He looks evil like a Nazi
Y’MACH SHEMO!
Send Ezra to negotiate.
What do you expect from Arabs.
All ‘CHAARA’ muslims are HUGE LIARS since they can’t make themselves look good unless they lie, because their contribution to the world, throughout their 1400 year history, can be summarized in one word BLOODSHED, they’ve brought nothing positive to the world and NEVER WILL !!!
Blah blah blah. “Our” response is always carefully constructed words. When will Jewish “leaders” wake up to the reality? WORDS ARE USELESS. We need action. We saw last week how swift retaliation makes a difference. This President should be called out decisively and authoritatively. He is showing a pogrom-style attitude, blaming everything in Jews and Israel. Instead of saying “it seems”, tell it how it is… the man is an antisemite who is fueling hate along with PLJ, Hamas, Putin, Erdogan etc. Enough of fear of accelerating a bad situation… we tried that in 1935. Learn from history!
Lets put things in perspective. Israel is no Nazi state. Anyone saying it is a pure Anti-Semite.
But while this lunatic anti-Semite said ” While Tunisians protected Jews during the Holocaust ,today elderly, women and children are being bombed in Gaza.”
History says, while Jews were slaughtered by the Nazis the Zionist establishment/Jewish agency refused sending money saving Jews.
The book ”Unheeded Cry” tells the story with all its details!
