A synagogue in a suburb of the French capital Paris has been vandalized. According to the National Office of Vigilance Against Anti-Semitism, a 21-year-old man, identified as being of African origin, climbed onto the roof of the Sarcelles synagogue on early Sunday morning and engraved the German words “Juden raus” (”Jews out") and “Death to Sharon” with an ice pick. The man has confessed to the crime. The Office applauded the quick police actions and called for the man to receive “severe sanctions.”
