Yes. They are making out that it is an attack on Jews. This is not the case. The dual passport is aimed at all non eu citizens, not just the Jewish. It is being suggested that in order to stop Islamist attacks on them, to not wear the yarmulke whilst out and about. Very similar to service personnel here not wearing their uniforms! A shame, but if it saves lives, it's all good, surely.
I believe people should be free to practice their religion or lack of it without political hindrance provided it does not impinge on the freedom of others which the yarmulke does not - so not a good thing as Jews in Israel and Russia who see it as an attack have confirmed. Freedom of religion is fundamental to a free society.
And she conveniently excludes Russians (non-EU the last time I heard) from her citizenship ban - so why then does she not exclude Jews from it?
