Hundreds of people gathered in Prague on Sunday to highlight the recent wave of attacks on Jews in Israel. The event was organised by a number of groups and was intended to draw attention to what they described as a wave of ethnic terror that European countries were ignoring. The rabbi of the Bnej Israel congregation, David Bohbot, said the Israeli government should admit a war was taking place in the country; as in war, Jews should protect themselves against those who attack them, he said.
