B'nai B'rith Europe condemns recent damage to and attempted arson of synagogues in Toulouse, Toulon, Metz, Charleroi and Brussels, of a Jewish school in Brussels, of cars and shops belonging to Jews in the Kremlin Bicetre (France), in Toulon (France), Brussels and Antwerp (Belgium).
B'nai B'rith Europe urges the authorities to make every effort to
identify and question those responsible for these unspeakable acts of
vandalism. This new outbreak of anti-Semitic violence is linked to many
anti-Israeli demonstrations held throughout Europe following Israel's
decision to respond to Hamas terrorist attacks, organised by people
close to the radical Islamist movement.
B'nai B'rith Europe is requesting that all European governments ensure
that every effort will be made to avoid the exporting of the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict into Europe, which is causing
inter-community tensions.
