Dominique Bernard, a literature teacher in his 40s, was brutally killed by the fanatic after a former Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal called for “Day of Jihad” following the ongoing bloodshed in Israel. French President Emmanuel Macron said: “We took action, we are taking action and we will continue to take action to ensure that school remains a sanctuary for our students and for all those who work there. “To blind hatred, we will always oppose the inextinguishable thirst for teaching. The thirst for knowledge. The thirst for living free.”
