Luke 19:43 The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side.
The foreign ministers of Germany, France and Italy are joining together in an attempt to quell the rampant anti-Semitism raging in their countries.
“Anti-Semitic rhetoric and hostility against Jews, attacks on people of Jewish belief and synagogues have no place in our societies,” German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier, France’s Laurent Fabius and Italy’s Federica Mogherini said in a joint statement.
The group made a point to say their citizens had freedom of speech and freedom to assemble but that those rights do not permit them to harass Jewish citizens or take actions that are clearly hostile to any group of citizens.
Protesters in Germany have been particularly hostile toward Jews, chanting slogans during their protests calling for Jews to be gassed.
Authorities in Berlin are taking steps to crack down on chants like that and other anti-Semitic slogans. They have threatened groups with arrest should they continue to harass Jewish residents.
