French parliament building locked down after death threats to Jewish MP
[Jpost] French MP Meyer Habib received an envelope on Monday with white powder, leading a wing of the French National Assembly to be shut down."Fat Zionist pig," the letter began, "you are not French. You do not belong in the Assembly. You are only a f*cking Israeli terrorist with blood on your hands." Security evacuated the B wing of the French National Assembly for over two-and-a-half hours, and chemical experts examined the substance sent in the envelope to ensure there was no danger. Habib said that "it is sad and disconcerting that we have reached a situation in which a member of the French parliament receives death threats because he is Jewish and a friend of Israel. Beyond the personal matter, I am very concerned for the French Republic, and I think action and a response are needed at the highest levels." The MP has long faced threats to his life and, unlike most in his position, has bodyguards provided by the French authorities. Habib, a French-Israeli and a longtime friend of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, represents French expats in the Mediterranean countries, including Italia, ...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire.... , the Holy See, Cyprus and more ‐ as well as Israel, which has more French citizens than all the other countries combined.
