Educator’s condition not life-threatening; assailants uttered anti-Semitic remarks during incident.

MARSEILLES—A teacher at a Jewish school in the southern French city of Marseilles was stabbed on Wednesday by three people professing support for Islamic State, but his life was not in danger, prosecutors said.

The victim was identified as Tziyon Saadon who is in his fifties.

The three men who attacked the teacher uttered anti-Semitic remarks during the incident, AFP reported.

Three people on two scooters, one of them wearing an Islamic State t-shirt, approached the teacher in the street, Marseilles prosecutor Brice Robin told Reuters.

The Times of Israel reports an umbrella group of European rabbis branded the recent EU move to require special country-of-origin labels on good manufactured in the Golan Heights, West Bank, Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem “a new case of anti-Semitism in Europe.”

The Conference of European Rabbis Wednesday condemned the EU decision to label Israeli goods produced in the occupied territories without regard to opposition from a number of leading religious figures.

The CER’s condemnation echoes denouncements by Israeli politicians who criticize the EU decision to impose labeling guidelines on Israeli products produced over the Green Line, with the government likening the move to a boycott and MKs saying it was tantamount to anti-Semitism.

Rubio said Israel’s fight against terrorism is the same one being fought by the United States and Europe.

He spoke in Miami Beach during a large rally in support of Israel and against anti-Semitism and said the threat to Jerusalem and Tel Aviv is the same as the threat to Paris, London and US cities. Rubio warned against “casting out one of our own”—meaning Israel—in hopes of appeasing jihadis.

Grande Synagogue de la Victoire, Paris

French Jews are calling for a “war without mercy” on jihadists. The Jewish communities security council has issued instructions for safeguarding synagogues following the Paris attacks. The French Jewish security council distributed specific directives to community leaders for the latter to warn their members about the cancelation of synagogue services if circumstances dictate. The attacks have made many French Jews cautious about their physical safety.

Roger Cukierman, president of the Conseil Représentatif des Institutions juives de France, the union of all Jewish institutions in France, issued a statement saying the war of the democratic state upon the jihadists must take the highest priority. He expressed condolences in the name of the CRIF to all the families of victims from Friday’s attacks.

Roger Cukierman, president of the Conseil Représentatif des Institutions juives de France, the council representing all Jewish institutions in France, reported following the attacks in the capital city Friday night he had no information on Jewish casualties or fatalities. The French Jewish communities have gone on highest alert following the event.

BBC reported Rench president François Hollande blamed Islamic State for the terrorist attacks, and AFP reported the organization had claimed responsibility. French police also reported they found a Syrian passport on the remains of one of the suicide bombers near the Stade de France sports arena, according to the Guardian newspaper. The number of dead was revised to 127.
