Yesterday, a historic synagogue in Southeast Tunisia ๐น๐ณโก๏ธ was set ablaze by a mob, marking another incident in the country's recent history of attacks on Jewish religious sites. The synagogue, which has been inactive due to the dwindling Jewish population in Tunisia, follows a similar event from last year where another Tunisian synagogue was targeted. The city of Sfax, where no Jews currently reside, saw its synagogue courtyard set on fire. This act of arson is part of a troubling trend in Tunisia, a country that once housed a vibrant Jewish community of 105,000 members, now reduced to merely 1,000.
Deranged, sick behavior - however, fully in line with Tunisiaโs history with the Jewish people. https://t.co/xRrfYyoZFq
