B’klyn Officials Condemn Terror Attack on Jewish School in France
BROOKLYN – Brooklyn elected officials Monday expressed outrage at the terror attack on a Jewish school in southern France that has left at least four people dead.
Meanwhile, the NYPD has stepped up security at synagogues and other Jewish sites in the wake of the attack. Police spokesman Paul Browne said Monday that there are no specific threats in New York. But he said that as a precaution, police have increased patrols in Jewish neighborhoods. Brooklyn has one of the largest concentrations of Jews, especially Orthodox Jews, in the U.S.
Congressman Jerrold Nadler (D-Brooklyn/Manhattan) said, “I am absolutely horrified by the senseless and cowardly act of violence at the Ozar Hatorah school in Toulouse, France. That Jews continue to be targets of hate and violence by lunatics and feeble-minded anti-Semites is despicable. And that a madman would single out children is unspeakably depraved and tragic.”
