Europe on fire with anti-Semitism?


Europe on fire with anti-Semitism?

Dinah A. Spritzer

Anti-Semitism in Western Europe is out of control, according to the consensus of recent reports -- the latest of which was released this week at a European conference on combating discrimination.

PRAGUE (JTA) -- A young French Jew is kidnapped, tortured and left to die by a band of Muslims. An arson badly damages Geneva's largest synagogue. A 13-year-old girl on a London bus is robbed and kicked unconscious after her attackers ask if she is "Jewish or English."

Anti-Semitism in Western Europe apparently is out of control.

That is the consensus of a dizzying array of recent reports, the latest of which was released this week at a conference combating discrimination under the auspices of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe....
