To combat anti-Semitic
attacks and prejudices
Denmark's chief rabbi on Sunday said he was "disappointed" by
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's call on European Jews to immigrate
to Israel, following the double shootings in Copenhagen a day
earlier, including one on a synagogue that left a young Jewish guard dead.
"Terror is not a reason to move to Israel," said Rabbi Jair
Melchior.
Netanyahu issued his call for immigration hours after the attack, telling
ministers at the weekly cabinet meeting in Jerusalem: "Jews were killed on
European land just because they were Jewish. This wave of attacks will
continue. I say to the Jews of Europe – Israel is your home."
