PARIS (EJP)--- A French senior civil servant was fired after publishing an anti-Israeli pamphlet on internet, the Interior Ministry announced Sunday.
According to French television, Bruno Guigue, deputy prefect of the southwestern French town of Saintes, wrote in an online column this month that Israel was the only regime that allows "snipers shoot down little girls outside their school gates.»
Guigue, author of several books on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, also wrote of the "Israeli jails where -- thanks to religious law -- they stop torturing on the Sabbath."
In his article, he appears to justify Iran's diatribes against Israel by the Israeli attitude itself and adds that "concerning terrorism the state of Israel can pride itself on a abnormal prize list."
The column published on Oumma.com, a website of the French-speaking Islam, was entitled «When the pro-Israel lobby unleashes against the United Nations.»
Interior Minister Michele Alliot-Marie dismissed Guigue, after learning of the column on Wednesday. She said he acted contrary to his duty of reservation and called the case «exceptional».
The National Bureau of Vigilance Against Anti-Semitism welcomed the Minister's decision and called for a ban of the text from the website.
