Germany, France and Italy Condemn Anti-Semitic Protesters After Violent Clashes

The foreign ministers of Germany, France and Italy issued a joint statement from Brussels today condemning reported anti-semitic “acts and statements” witnessed in the recent wave of anti-Israel demonstrations across Europe.

Germany's Frank-Walter Steinmeier, France's Laurent Fabius and Italy's Federica Mogherini met in the EU capital today after several pro-Palestinian protests turned violent, as chants praising the Nazi extermination of Jews were heard in Berlin and Paris.

“Anti-Semitic agitation, hate speech against Jews, attacks against people of Jewish belief and against synagogues cannot be tolerated in our societies in Europe,” the ministers’ statement reads.

Seriously, these cities have Israeli consulates don't they? Or hey, how about your own government's buildings, since they're aiding and abetting the slaughter with every bit of tax monies and most UN votes.

Protesting a synagogue over what Israel is doing is as dumb as protesting an Islamic community center because of 9/11.
