UK: Conservative politician links French Jewish shops to Gaza

A Conservative councillor from Bishop’s Stortford has apologised after he publicly posted on Twitter an anti-Semitic tweet earlier today.

In response to a tweet urging people to stand with Paris’ Kosher shops after the Charlie Hebdo terrorist attack, Cllr Colin Woodward had posted that there were “Probably more open than shops in #GazaUnderAttack.” Four people were mercilessly killed by terrorists after been taken hostage in a Kosher supermarket in Paris leading the French police to close all Jewish shops in Paris out of fear for the safety of customers and owners.
