Via the Jewish Daily Forward:
A senior member of France’s Socialist party defended his assertion that Jews who are targeted because of Israel are like Muslims who are targeted over ISIS.
Jean-Christophe Cambadelis, first secretary of the republic’s ruling party, said on Twitter that he “did not compare Israel to ISIS” when, during a radio interview Sunday, he said: “I am against identifying a community with a state. We identify the Jewish community with Israel and the Muslims with Daech. It’s the same reasoning.”
The acronym Daech is how many in France refer to the Islamic State, or ISIS, terrorist group.
