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.
