Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu participated at noon (Thursday) in the ceremony of writing the final letters of a Torah scroll written in memory of those murdered in the massacre at the Hyper Kosher supermarket in Paris. This is the first of four books written.
Two of them will be placed in synagogues in Paris and the other two at the Western Wall.
After writing the letters, the Prime Minister said: ""I express the feelings of the people of Israel about these victims, who are part of our people and were murdered simply because they were Jews, in the terrible anti-Semitism that is sweeping Europe.".

""Many European governments are not yet ready to point to the source of the new anti-Semitism, radical Islam. Unfortunately, we saw an expression of this spirit yesterday at the UN, when they refused to condemn Hezbollah, which took responsibility for a murderous attack against our forces.".
""On the one hand, they refuse to call a child by his name in Europe, or at least they are not willing to take the bull by the horns and say that the source of the new anti-Semitism and the murderousness that is rampant around the world and this terrible cruelty against Jews, and also against non-Jews, is extremist Islam.
""I share not only the grief of the families but also the feelings of the entire Jewish people who understood that the attack in Paris was an attack on every Jew, and if these murderers had the ability, they would have destroyed and murdered every Jew.".
""By the way, they say this in the clearest way, and therefore there is no substitute for the Jews, first and foremost in the Jewish state, to defend themselves, and for governments that stand against anti-Semitism to expose the source of anti-Semitism.".
