Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu suggested Sunday that European Jews should move to Israel in a "mass immigration," following the shooting in Copenhagen that left one Jewish security guard dead and last month's terrorist attacks in Paris, where four French Jews were killed. “Jews have been murdered again on European soil only because they were Jews,” Netanyahu said. “Of course, Jews deserve protection in every country, but we say to Jews, to our brothers and sisters: Israel is your home.” Denmark's chief rabbi Jiar Melchior said he was "disappointed" by Netanyahu's invitation. "If the way we deal with terror is to run somewhere else, we should all run to a deserted island.” Separately, Netanyahu also announced $45 million to encourage the immigration of Jews from France, Belgium and Ukraine in a government initiative planned before the Copenhagen attacks.
