THE BUZZ: Netanyahu calls for ‘massive’ Jewish immigration to Israel

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is calling for the “massive immigration” of European Jews to Israel following the shooting attack outside a Copenhagen synagogue that killed a Danish Jew.
Netanyahu says the government yesterday will discuss a USD46 million plan to encourage Jewish immigration from France, Belgium and Ukraine.
“This wave of attacks is expected to continue,” Netanyahu said at the start of a Cabinet meeting. “Jews deserve security in every country, but we say to our Jewish brothers and sisters, Israel is your home.”
A 37-year-old Jewish security guard was killed while standing guard at a bat mitzvah celebration. Jair Melchior, Denmark’s chief rabbi, said he was “disappointed” by Netanyahu’s call for immigration following the attack.
“Terror is not a reason to move to Israel,” he said.
