Toulouse Shooting Victims Buried in Jerusalem

(Jerusalem Post-Ha'aretz) Jeremy Sharon - Thousands of mourners attended the funeral in Jerusalem on Wednesday of the victims in the shooting at a Jewish school in Toulouse, France, earlier this week. A French military plane carrying the bodies of Rabbi Yonatan Sandler, his two children Aryeh, six, and Gavriel, three, and eight-year-old Miriam Monsonego arrived in Israel early Wednesday morning accompanied by French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe. Juppe declared that attacks on Jews in France are attacks on all of its citizens. "France will do everything to ensure nothing like this unbelievable tragedy ever happens again....France will not tolerate terror." Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin labeled those who carry out such acts as "wild animals, who do not distinguish between Jews in Israel or in France." "At the graves of our young children, Aryeh, Gavriel and Miriam, we will repeat: the State of Israel has the obligation to ensure that Jews can live anywhere in the world. That Jews around the world are able to study, protected and safe."
