‘When French Jews are hurt the Republic is hurt’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on Google
French President Francois Hollande reassures the Jews of France that “The republic will defend them with full force.”
During a ceremony in a Jewish cemetery where tombstones were vandalized last week, Hollande says: “I understand the unquiet sentiment which is troubling French people of the Jewish faith…I know very many of them consider leaving their homeland. They are French, they love France and their natural plae is France.”
The republic, Hollande says, “will defend you in all its force. Because through you it is the republic which is hurt – its values, its principles, its promise.”
