Haaretz, “After the carnage in Toulouse, France must stand together against anti-Semitism” by Bernard-Henri Lévy
“A little over twenty years ago, the entire political class … was capable of marching behind President François Mitterrand to condemn the profanation of 34 Jewish graves at a cemetery in Carpentras.
Today, we need an equivalent of that demonstration, with Nicolas Sarkozy and François Hollande in the lead, in grieving Toulouse ... A great, solemn meeting, all political forces attending, to come to say, without nuance, that all of France is being attacked and must take a united stand when its children, whatever they may be and whatever ... the profile of the killer or his reasons, are massacred like this.
…
There can be no worse blow to French culture, to the soul of our country, its history and when all is said and done, to its grandeur than racism and, today, anti-Semitism.”
