The European Jewish Congress has called on French authorities to take extensive measures against extremists in the wake of an attack on the headquarters of the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.
“Unfortunately, there is the beginning of wave of terror on the streets of Europe,” Dr. Moshe Kantor, President of the EJC, said. “This is a war against freedom of speech and the European way of life which has already seen Jewish children gunned down at school and people murdered in cold blood while visiting a museum in Brussels.”
“We must use all tools necessary to prevent these terrorist attacks which must begin with a significant clampdown on extremists and those that promulgate hate. The authorities must take preventative measures, but also increase the powers of law enforcement agencies and increase intelligence cooperation to ensure that these types of attacks do not happen again.”
“The EJC sends its deepest condolences to the families of those killed and the French people with whom we stand shoulder to shoulder in solidarity at this time.”

The French are Antisemites.
They will prefer to kill an inncoent jew over a terrorist any day!! Ejc time to make aliyah
U think?
Why clamp down now? Isn’t everybody enjoying all of the cold-blood killings of innocents? France, wasn’t it you that signed the UN agreement that there should be a ‘terrorist’ state co-existing with Israel? This is called “PAY BACK TIME.” These are the same savages that cut the fences and come into Israel with murder in their eyes. These are the same savages that stab yeshiva boys with screwdrivers as they walk to the Kotel to pray to HaShem hoping to kill them.
