Denmark chief rabbi ‘disappointed’ by immigration call
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleDenmark Chief Rabbi Yair Melchior says he is “disappointed” by Netanyahu’s call for Denmark’s Jews to immigrate to Israel following Saturday night’s attack.
“People from Denmark move to Israel because they love Israel, because of Zionism. But not because of terrorism,” said Melchior. “If the way we deal with terror is to run somewhere else, we should all run to a deserted island.”
The statement echoes similar sentiments expressed by some in France and elsewhere following a series of deadly attacks in Paris last month, which spurred calls for France’s Jews to immigrate.
