ZERO TOLERANCE FOR ANTI-SEMITISM, SAYS FRENCH MINISTER

France's Minister of Interior Nicolas Sarkozy said, "The government shall not tolerate one single act of anti-Semitism on the French soil."



Minister Sarkozy was the guest of the Southwest delegation of CRIF in the city of Toulouse.

"Not a single anti-Semitic act shall be tolerated. This is the government's message. All means will be used to find the culprits. One said that the means were not up to the task. This is not true any more. Today, the courts of justice show firmness. The society anti-Semitism of people like (stand-up comedian) Dieudonné must be fought against because it is paving the way for Mr. Everyman's anti-Semitism" said Minister Sarkozy.
