Israeli ambassador to Germany calls on Jews to move to Israel

Israel‘s ambassador to Germany has called on Europe‘s Jews to move to Israel in a report published on Sunday in the German press.
There is currently a "wave of anti-Semitism" in Europe, Jakov Hadas-Handelsman told the Tagesspigel newspaper. "I do not envy those Jews living in Europe today," he said.
Many Jews were alienated, scared, or felt themselves threatened, especially given the background of the recent Islamist attacks in Paris and Copenhagen, he said.
This was why Israel had made the offer to Jews living in Europe to emigrate, he said. "Whoever feels threatened has the possibility of coming to us today," he was quoted as saying.
Calls by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for Europe‘s Jews to emigrate have met with objections in Jewish communities across Europe.
