Hollande called for national unity and said the country should remain “implacable” in the face of racism and anti-Semitism.
“It is indeed an appalling anti-Semitic act that was committed,” he said of the hostage-taking by an Islamist gunman at the Hyper Cacher supermarket in the Vincennes district.
Some hostages were seen rushing from the market after heavily armed police broke the siege at the same time as they ended a separate stand-off in northern France involving the two Islamist suspects behind the killings at Charlie Hebdo magazine this week.
Craven belly Hollande was able to bring himself up to call this horror anti-Semitism. Still, the craven belly insisted that this horror has nothing to do with islam. I wonder if he himself believes it.
Yeah yeah yeah. The French have done nothing to prevent anti semitism. Now we continue to suffer for it. No wonder Jews are moving out of there in droves
I dont understand your complaint. Would Obama say so fast that it was an antisemitic attack? Holande did OK. Amd the whole operstion was very well planned to save the most JEWS. So this was to the french’s credit this time.
