France Vows Justice After Attack on Tree Honoring Murdered Jew
Memorial vandalized in act condemned as anti-Semitic
French authorities have pledged to bring perpetrators to justice after vandals chopped down an olive tree planted in memory of Ilan Halimi, a Jewish man who was tortured and murdered in 2006.
The attack has been widely condemned as an anti-Semitic act, prompting calls for stronger measures to protect memorials and combat hate crimes.
