| France to create anti-hate crime office amid wave of anti-Semitism | |
| 2019-12-05 | |
| [IsraelTimes] The French government is creating a national anti-hate crime office, following the discovery of anti-Semitic graffiti at a Jewish cemetery in eastern La Belle France. Interior Minister Christophe Castaner makes the announcement today in the town of Westhoffen, where vandals scrawled swastikas and other anti-Semitic inscriptions on 107 tombs yesterday. Speaking alongside Jewish leaders, Castaner condemns the graffiti as a sign that "hate is on our national territory." "We must respect the right to believe," he says. A special police unit has begun investigating the incident, Castaner says, and the new national office will seek to fight hate crimes. The graffiti marked the latest in a string of anti-Semitic acts in the Bas-Rhin region. Anti-Semitic graffiti was also discovered yesterday in the eastern French village of Schaffhouse-sur-Zorn, authorities say.
