The Greek government said it condemned as an act of vandalism
an attack today on a synagogue on the island of Corfu.“The break-in and the destruction of ceremonial books in the Jewish Synagogue of Corfu is an immoral and appalling act” spokesman George Petalotis said in an e-mailed statement from the Athens-based press ministry today. “Anti-Semitism is incompatible with Greek culture.”
An unknown group broke into the synagogue early this morning and set religious books on fire, according to a statement by the Greek police today. Police said they are investigating the incident, according to the statement.
