In reply to the discussion: Netanyahu crashes Paris unity march, French gov’t fumes [View all]R. Daneel Olivaw
(12,606 posts)16. Some, not all.
The head of the largest advocate for the Jewish organizations and communities in Europe sharply criticized Israels call for increased immigration of the Continents Jews to Israel in the wake of the attacks in Paris.
Rabbi Menachem Margolin, director of the European Jewish Association, was quoted by the website nrg.co.il as saying that he regretted that after every anti-Semitic attack in Europe, the Israeli government issues the same statements about the importance of aliyah [immigration to Israel], rather than employ every diplomatic and informational means at its disposal to strengthen the safety of Jewish life in Europe.
NRG reported that Margolin said that Jews who have an attachment to Israel do not need this call, and they continue to emigrate to Israel in the wake of the events [like those] over the weekend in Paris.
The rabbi said that every such Israeli campaign severely weakens and damages the Jewish communities that have the right to live securely wherever they are.
