Danish Jews refuse calls to emigrate to Israel
‘Danish Jews yesterday turned down an offer by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to emigrate to Israel following an attack on the main synagogue in Copenhagen, AFP reported.
“We are very grateful for Netanyahu’s concern but having said that, we are Danish – we are Danish Jews but we are Danish – and it will not be terror that makes us go to Israel,” the spokesman of the Jewish community in Denmark Jeppe Juhl.
“So we understand his concern for our well-being, and we value his concern but we are Danish and we are staying in Denmark. If we move to Israel it is for other reasons,” he told AFP.’
