March 19, 2012
JERUSALEM (JTA) -- The attack by an unidentified gunman on a Jewish school in Toulouse, France was condemned by Jewish leaders, who also warned against the rise of anti-Jewish sentiment in Europe.
Jeruzalem (JTA) .Napad neidentificiranog revolveraša na Židovsku školu u Toulouse, Francuskoj, osuđen je od židovskih lidera, koji također upozoravaju na rastuće anti-semitsko raspoloženje u Evropi.
Onaj koji je to učinio tražio je metu u židovskoj zajednici koja je najranivija, njezinu mladost, i nadao se da će posijati strah u zajednici, rekao je Moshe Kantoir, predsjednik Evropskog židovskog kongresa. No oni neće uspjeti.
A man riding a
motorbike reportedly opened fire Monday morning outside the Ozar Hatorah
School, where students were waiting to enter the building at the start
of the school day. The shooter then entered the building and continued
shooting at students and teachers before fleeing on his motorbike.
U ponedjeljak ujutro je čovjek koji je vozio motocikl opetovano otvorio vatru na područje Ozar hatorah School, gdje su studenti čekali da uđu u zgradu na početku školskog dana. Čovjek je zatim ušao u zgradu i nastavio pucati na učenike i učitelje, prije nego što je pobjegao na motociklu. Nekoliko studenata je ranjeno unutar zgrade.Ubijen je 30 -godišnji rabin i njegovi sinovi stari 3 i 6 godina,te 10 godišnja kćerka direktora škole.
Židovi Evrope općenito, i Židovi Francuske posebno, imaju dugu povijest sposobnosti da stanu čvrsto protiv mržnje i nasilja, a ja znam da će zajednica francuskih Židova poslati poruku onima koji ih žele terorizirati da je jaka i da se može oporaviti, rekao je Moshe Kantor.

"This is a brazen assault on France and French society, and another telling reminder of the dangers that exist for Jewish communities in today's world,” said David Harris, executive director of the American Jewish Committee, in a statement. “We count on French authorities to pursue the investigation vigorously, arrest whoever is involved, and prosecute to the fullest extent of the law, as well as review security at Jewish institutions. We have confidence they will."
Anti Defamation League national Director Abraham Foxman pointed out that the Jewish community of Toulouse has been targeted in the past three years with anti-Semitic acts of violence.
"It is critically important that the Jewish community in France feel assured that they will be safe and secure in the aftermath of this horrific incident, and we welcome the announcement that security will be intensified at Jewish institutions throughout France," Foxman said. "We appreciate President Sarkozy’s decision to immediately go to Toulouse, for the government’s clear message to all French schools to stand in solidarity, and for the direct public statements that no efforts will be spared to bring the killer to justice."
French Interior Minister Claude Gueant ordered security to be tightened around all Jewish schools in France after the attack.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy called the attack a "national tragedy" and vowed to find the killer. “This is a day of national tragedy because children were killed in cold blood,” Sarkozy said in Toulouse, where he rushed after suspending his reelection campaign. “Barbarity, savagery, cruelty cannot win. Hate cannot win. We will find him.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel would do everything to help France track down the killer. “Today we had a savage crime in France that gunned down French Jews, among them children. It’s too early to say what the precise background for this act of murder is, but I think that we can’t rule out that there was a strong murderous anti-Semitic motive here," Netanyahu said.
"I haven’t heard yet a condemnation from any of the UN bodies but I have heard that one such body, the UN Human Rights Council, invited on this very day a senior representative of Hamas – on this day, when we had the savage murder, they chose to invite a member of Hamas," Netanyahu added.
"We are horrified by this attack and we trust the French authorities to shed full light on this tragedy and bring the perpetrators of these murders to justice," Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor told AFP.
The White House also condemned the attack. "We were deeply saddened to learn of the horrific attack this morning against the teachers and students of a Jewish school in the French city of Toulouse," said National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor. "Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families and friends of the victims, and we stand with a community in grief."
