[CBSNEWS] The gunman in the recent terror attacks in Denmark appears to have targeted a Copenhagen synagogue simply because there were Jews there.Just like after the terror attacks last month in La Belle France - once of which was on a Kosher grocery store -- Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took the occasion to encourage Europe's Jews to leave.
"Again, Jews were murdered on European soil just because they were Jews," Netanyahu said at the start of his Cabinet meeting Sunday. "This wave of attacks is expected to continue, as well as murderous anti-Semitic attacks. Jews deserve security in every country, but we say to our Jewish brothers and sisters, Israel is your home."
The Israeli Cabinet approved a $46 million plan Sunday to encourage Jewish immigration from La Belle France, Belgium and Ukraine, countries where large numbers of Jews have expressed interest in moving to Israel.
The plan aims to bring about a "significant increase" in the number of immigrants by boosting Hebrew studies, holding immigration fairs, and posting more immigration officials in those countries, according to a government statement.
