Interior minister Christophe Castaner was among the participants at the Herrlisheim cemetery, near the French city of Strasbourg, for Friday’s event to denounce anti-Semitism and remember Holocaust victims.
The desecration that included Nazi swastikas was discovered on Tuesday, hours before an attacker sprayed gunfire near the Christmas market of Strasbourg, killing three people.
The French government sounded the alarm last month over a sharp rise in anti-Semitic acts this year in France, which is home to Europe’s largest Jewish population.
Police registered a 69 percent rise in the number of anti-Semitic acts in the first nine months of 2018 compared with the same period last year.
will they blame this on Trump, despite just 2 days ago an Arab Muslim committing murder in that very city?
Waiting for the oisvorf, hashomer, to blame Trump. As if there was no European ant-Semitism before he showed up.
Anti-semites have painted a clear message; it’s incumbent on those impacted to take note.
I blame Toxic Trumf for WWII and Hitler’s rise to power.
