Cardinal Christoph Schönborn condemned on Friday the antisemitic attack on a rabbi in the Austrian capital of Vienna, as reported by the Catholic News Agency.In a statement on his Twitter account in German, the cardinal said: “I am dismayed by yesterday’s attack on a rabbi in the middle of Vienna. I assure our fellow Jewish citizens of my complete solidarity. [Antisemitism] must have no place among us. It endangers the peaceful coexistence of us all.”A woman in her 50s confronted a rabbi on Thursday afternoon with a knife, kicking him in the leg and taking his kippah before running away. console.log("BODY2.

Jewish life in Austria must be possible in safety. For a Europe without Jews is no longer Europe.”The antisemitic attack occurred nearly a month after a terror attack near Vienna's central synagogue, when gunmen opened fire in the city, killing four people and injuring 23 others.
