In a speech to Palestinian youths at an UNRWA event , the European Union 's High Representative Baroness Ashton said , " When we think about what happened today in Toulouse , we remember what happened in Norway a year ago , when we know what is happening in Syria , and we see what is happening in Gaza and Sderot and in different parts of the world – we remember young people and children who lose their lives . " Israeli ministers harshly criticised her comparison of the Toulouse murders to the situation in Gaza . Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said , " It is unthinkable to compare a massacre and the Israeli army 's surgical , defensive actions against those who use children as human shields . " Lady Ashton said that the press reporting of her speech was " grossly distorted " and that had she also referred to Israeli victims in Sderot , but this had been incorrectly omitted from the original transcript
