At least four shot dead outside Jewish school in France; Israel ‘horrified’

Four people, three of them children, were killed when a gunman opened fire outside a Jewish school in southwest France on Monday, the local prosecutor said, raising a previous toll of three dead.

“He shot at everything he could see, children and adults, and some children were chased into the school,” Michel Valet, the local prosecutor, told journalists, saying the death toll stood at four dead, including three children. He said the children were aged three, six and 10.

Reuters said that five people were injured in the attack, which occurred as students were arriving for morning classes.

Israel’s foreign ministry declared itself ‘horrified’ by the attack.

JERUSALEM – A former head of Israel's Mossad spy agency says a shooting attack on a Jewish school in France is part of a "wave of terror" being directed against Jews and Israelis worldwide.

Danny Yatom spoke to Israel Radio after a gunman opened fire at a school Monday in the French city of Toulouse, killing a rabbi, his two sons and another child.

Yatom says he believes Iran or its Lebanese proxy Hezbollah is likely behind the attack, but did not elaborate. He says assailants prefer Jewish civilian targets because they are easier to hit than Israeli ones.

It was not clear who carried out Monday's attack.

Israel views Iran as an existential threat because of its nuclear program, support for militant groups and calls for the Jewish state's destruction.

Yatom's been in the news a lot lately

he's supposed to be "retired"

Despite my dislike of Israel, Zionism and the Talmudic Jewsh religion, I would not wish what happened to these children and their families on anyone.

Having said that, there is something very perverse about these blatant attempts to use the deaths of children to further Israel's warmongering and geo-political ambitions. It takes a special sort of person, someone lacking in any form moral fibre, to be able draw such conclusions on the basis of not only no evidence whatsoever, but evidence to the contrary.

The murders of French paratroopers of North African and French Caribbean origin only a few days ago have been linked to the slaying of the children at this school. It appears that the same handgun was used. 

If Iran is involved, which is extremely highly unlikely, then they appear to have an issue with more than just Israel.  As that notion is patently insane, meanwhile, back in the real world, we can only conclude that Yatom's statements are nonsense and clearly the product of a deranged and hate-filled mind.

Yes Sullivan, it’s disgusting to see how Jews and the Western media automatically describe this as an “anti-Semitic” attack. The French police say the same person gunned down a French soldier on Mar 11, plus two paratroopers on March 15 (and wounded a third). The latter three were non-white, which was no big deal.

But now four of the Chosen were killed.

For the other victims the French police assigned 50 officers to the investigation. When the Chosen were killed, the number of investigators was tripled, and the killings were elevated from “hate crimes” to “terrorism.”
