The security service for Jews in France has issued a communique warning that
the country’s military operation in Mali “significantly increases” the threat
facing French Jews.
“The situation requires we raise the level of protection around our community
and double the level of vigilance around synagogues, Jewish schools, community
centers and gathering places,” said a communiqué by SPCJ.
Mali, a former French colony, was once one of Africa’s most stable countries, but has changed after a 2012 coup brought Islamists to power. A poll released Tuesday showed overwhelming support among French citizen for the military operation.
On January 2nd, anti-Semitic slogans, death threats against Jews and a swastika were spray-painted on a building in Toulouse.
