| Toulouse victims of Mohamed Merah * |
The city of Toulouse banned an event organized by far-left activists promoting a boycott of Israel. The canceled event was a lecture by Farid Esack, a South African university lecturer and activist, titled “Apartheid, from South Africa to Israel.” He was scheduled to speak at a municipal event hall on March 31 at an event organized by the New Anticapitalist Party, a movement established in 2009.
“In light of the context, I can not permit a public
gathering that risks encouraging discrimination of Jewish people and
commercial products associated with the Jewish faith and the State of
Israel,” Toulouse Mayor Jean-Luc Moudenc said in a statement on March
31.
In 2012, an Islamist killed four Jews at a Jewish school in the city. More.
* Wikipedia: Inside [the Ozar Hatorah school in Toulouse], Mohamed Merah shot at staff, parents, and students. He chased an 8-year-old girl into the courtyard, caught her by her hair and raised a gun to shoot her. The gun jammed at this point and he changed weapons from what the police identified as a 9mm pistol to a .45 calibre gun, and shot the girl in her temple at point-blank range. The gunman then retrieved his moped and drove off. Victims: Four people died: 30-year-old Rabbi Jonathan (Yonatan) Sandler; his two oldest (out of three) children Aryeh, aged 6, and Gabriel, aged 3; and the head teacher's daughter, eight-year-old Miriam Monsonego, the girl shot in the head. Bryan Bijaoui, a 17-year-old Jewish boy, was gravely injured. [...] They were buried by family members at the Har HaMenuchot cemetery in Jerusalem. The two deceased children of Sandler were dual French-Israeli citizens, as are Sandler's widow and surviving child.
