Defense Minister Ehud Barak slammed on Tuesday comments by the EU's High Representative, Catherine Ashton, who compared the gunning down of Jewish schoolchildren in France to children killed in Gaza."The comparison drawn by Ashton between what is happening in Gaza, Toulouse, and Syria is outrageous and far from reality.
