The Tragedy in Toulouse
(Algemeiner) Elie Wiesel - Will the hatred of the Jews ever finally vanish? Will Jewish children always be in danger? This time, a murderer slew four Jews: a teacher and three young children. When a blood-thirsty Jew-hater wants to kill Jews, he goes first to the Jewish schools. Jewish children are his primary target. Obviously, the terrible murderous attack evoked tears and rage among both Jews and non-Jews. The President, his ministers, and other political figures in France, as well as all the newspapers, have demanded that the murderer be found and punished. Jewish blood is spilled and, temporarily, sympathy for Jews grows; the world warms to them. But the pain does not go away, nor does the anger. When we are persecuted, our response must be: We will remain Jewish - and do everything to become more Jewish.
