Peres: Hatred of foreigners violates Jewish principles

President Shimon Peres, speaking Thursday at a swearing-in ceremony for judges at the Supreme Court, addressed the issue of the migrant population in Israel.

"We are seeing incitement and racism," the president said. "The state must provide a practical solution to this issue, but we must all reject racism. Hatred toward foreigners violates the principles of Judaism." (Aviad Glickman and Aviel Magnezi)
