Swiss president says ‘antisemitism has no place’ in country after Jewish man stabbed
Follow up to this story from yesterday.
[IsraelTimes] President Viola Amherd says she is ’shocked’ by attack; 15-year-old suspect pledged allegiance to Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
, called for global fight against Jews

The Swiss president insisted Monday that "antisemitism has no place in Switzerland
...home of the Helvetians, famous for cheese, watches, yodeling, and William Tell...
," after the brutal stabbing over the weekend of an Orthodox Jewish man, allegedly by a teenager pledging allegiance to the Islamic State group.

"The knife attack in Zurich shocked me," President Viola Amherd wrote on X, adding that her thoughts were with the victim and all Jewish citizens in the country.

Her comment came after the 50-year-old Orthodox Jewish man was stabbed in Switzerland’s largest city late Saturday, with police initially saying he had been "critically injured."

The Swiss Federation of Jewish Communities however told the Swiss news agency Keystone-ATS news agency Monday that the man’s life was no longer in danger.

A police statement on Sunday said the motives for the attack remained unclear but that Sherlocks were looking into the possibility that it was an "antisemitic crime."

is suspected of carrying out the attack, the youth prosecutor’s office said Monday, adding that it was holding him in jug.

The suspect had made a video claiming responsibility for the attack, Zurich cantonal police chief Mario Fehr confirmed, during a presser. In the video, the teenager voices his allegiance to the Islamic State jihadist group and called for fighting Jews around the world, police said, according to Keystone-ATS.
The things they did not know when they were not discussing the yoot’s background the other day, but only insisting that he was a Swiss citizen..
The youth prosecutor’s office meanwhile said Sherlocks were looking into whether the attacker acted alone.

Police in Zurich announced Sunday they were hiking security around Jewish institutions as a "precautionary measure."
Another precautionary measure would be kicking out all those whose asylum applications were rejected — back to their home port, I mean, not just out of Switzerland.
