Come home

At a joint press conference of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and French President Francois Hollande at the Elysee Palace on wednesay, the Israeli leader responded to a question.

Responding to questions at a joint press conference with Hollande on the anti-Semitic climate in France, Netanyahu first paid tribute to successive French governments “for having clearly stood against anti-Semitism”.

“There is a real determination on the part of French governments. They want to fight against anti-Semitism. The French President has led the way and his government has followed his lead. It’s a very clear and undeniable part of French politics,” he said.

However, he continued to talk of a “new form of anti-Semitism, which comes from other extremely dangerous groups” and which “threatens not only but the whole of France”, adding: “In my role as Prime Minister of Israel, I always say to Jews, wherever they may be, I say to them: Come to Israel and make Israel your home”.

In response to Hurricane Sandy, Yori Yanover has a message to American Jews.

It’s 75 degrees in Netanya on an early Sunday morning. We expect 85, with a nice breeze in the afternoon. We get the occasional rain here, but it is rarely the frozen type. When we get two days of snow in Jerusalem the whole country goes nuts. Otherwise our weather is quite predictable: warm with a chance of a little less or a little more warm.

Come home to where it’s safe and pleasant, folks, we miss you.
