Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Thursday afternoon 16 Shevat, participated in a hachnosas Sefer Torah in memory of those who were murdered in last month’s terrorist attack at the Hyper Casher market in Paris. This was the first of four Sifrei Torah, two of which will be in a Paris shul and two at the Kosel.
After inscribing the letters, Prime Minister Netanyahu said:
“I express the feelings of the Jewish People regarding these victims, who are part of our people and who were murdered just because they were Jews, in terrible anti-Semitism that is sweeping across Europe. Many European governments are still not ready to point to the source of the new anti-Semitism – extremist Islam. To my regret, we saw an expression of this spirit yesterday at the UN, when they refused to condemn Hezbollah, which claimed responsibility for the murderous attack against our forces [last week].
“On the one hand, in Europe they refuse to call the child by its name, or at least they are not ready to grab the bull by the horns and say that the source of the new anti-Semitism and the murderous attacks that are running rampant around the world, this terrible brutality against Jews and against non-Jews, is extremist Islam.
“I share not only in the grief of the families, but in the feelings of the entire Jewish People who understand that the attack in Paris was an attack on all Jews wherever they are. If these murderers had the ability, they would kill all Jews wherever they are. By the way, they say this very clearly; therefore, there is no alternative to Jews defending themselves – first and foremost in the state of the Jews. Governments that line up against this anti-Semitism will discover its source.”

It’s for show. They later scratch it out. Not that that justifies doing this in the first place.
Listen he is the Prime Minister give him Kavod.
these sifrei torah are Pusol, it’s no aliya for the neshama’s of these kedoshim, how are those organizer’s not ashamed to invite a mechalel shabos, a mien and apikoras to inscribe a sefer torah
Not everyone realizes that what he writes is later erased and re-written by a proper sofer. It misleads many people into thinking that by donning a yarmulke, Reb Bibi shlit”a is transformed into a kosher Jew and even a sofer stam. It’s part of the larger hoax constantly being perpetrated by the medinah as if it has something to do with real Yiddishkeit.
