More than 100 graves at a Jewish cemetery in France have been defaced with Nazi swastikas in the latest in a wave of anti-Semitic attacks.
Vandals spray-painted the gravestones in the eastern town of Westhoffen, near Strasbourg, days after another incident in a nearby village.
In response, President Emmanuel Macron said France would fight anti-Semitism “until our dead can sleep in peace”.
France is home to a Jewish community of about 550,000 – the biggest in Europe.
“Jews are and make France,” Mr Macron said in a tweet on Tuesday evening.
“Those who attack them, even in their graves, are not worthy of the idea we have of France,” he said.
France’s north-eastern Alsace region, on the border with Germany, has been marked by a series of anti-Semitic acts in recent months.
Chief Rabbi Haïm Korsia said he was “outraged and horrified to learn of the desecration of yet another cemetery in Alsace”.

If only we could just kill them all…or at least one allowed to for them and others…what good are riches if it cannot enable that right?
