(Jerusalem Post) Tamara Zieve - Leading Jewish groups spoke out after a Swedish synagogue was firebombed on Saturday and protests in other European cities against U.S. recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital included anti-Semitic chants. "It is unconscionable that Jews are under attack on the streets of Europe, whether by terrorists hurling Molotov cocktails or openly and brazenly calling for the mass murder of Jews in Malmo, Vienna and Paris," said European Jewish Congress President Dr. Moshe Kantor. Rabbi Abraham Cooper, Associate Dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, said, "Now the world witnesses 20 hooded terrorists firebomb a synagogue in Gothenburg, where Jewish youngsters inside barely escaped injury or death. What more will it take for this democracy to finally deploy the full weight of their law enforcement and judicial powers against anti-Semites and provide full protection for its Jewish citizens?"
