Foreign ministers condemn anti-Semitism wave in Europe

PARIS, July 22 (UPI)
ED ADAMCZYK
A wave of anti-Semitism in Europe prompted a joint statement by the German, French and Italian foreign
ministers condemning the actions.
Jewish leaders have reported an increase in violence against Jews across Europe, which began after Israel invaded
Gaza last week, and anti-Jewish protest is attracting what Yakov Hadas-Handlesman, Israeli ambassador to
Germany, called an unholy alliance of Islamists and neo-Nazis in an editorial Sunday in the Berlin newspaper
Berliner Zeitung.
Pro-Palestininan protesters in a Paris suburb attacked a synagogue and smashed windows in Jewish-owned shops,
reportedly setting one afire. Berlin police were called in to protect two tourists, one wearing a yarmulke, from a mob
shouting threats. The chief rabbi of the Netherlands has seen stones thrown at his home twice, and 14 people were
arrested in the German city of Essen on suspicion of planning an attack on the city's Old Synagogue.
German police began an investigation of an incident in which an imam, preaching in a Berlin mosque, allegedly urged
Muslims to kill Jews.
French Prime Minister Manuel Valls called the attacks in France intolerable.
