Lieberman: Denmark attacks show Israel and Jews at frontline of war with terror

Following two shootings in Denmark, including one outside a synagogue, Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman Sunday said that "the chain of terror events in Copenhagen, in the synagogue and the free speech event, proves what we have said over the years – that Israel and the Jews are hit by this terrorism first of all because they are the frontline in the war that terror is waging against the West and the entire free world."

Lieberman added that "the international community needs to ask for more than declarations and demonstrations against this terrorism, but to shake off the rules of political correctness and fight a real all-out war against Islamic terror and its roots." Minister Lieberman said the foreign ministry is in close contact with the Israeli embassy in Denmark and was following events as they unfolded.
