The unemployment rate in France rose to 9.7 percent in the three months to September of 2017 from 9.5 percent in the previous period with youth unemployment at 21.8. This coupled with a reaction to extreme liberal views being forced on the populous will always lead to people looking for a reason. In Europe in recent times this has fallen on the Jews. I suspect...

Emmie....I am not sure it ever really went away. The Jews are still seen as legitimate targets for hate. That is why Holocaust denial is still a crime in so many countries.

The Jewish section of our local Council-owned Cemetery has had to have a very stout fence and gates fitted, because of attacks.

Its sad but true that some people will always need to find someone to be a scapegoat when things go wrong.

I was watching Andrew Marr last night, and he talked about Oswald Mosley and his rise as the head of the British Union of Fascists in the 1930s. Shocking in the extreme.
The BBC list four events since last April, not exactly rushing headlong to Armageddon.
^Don't mention the Muslims.

but in France, that is very serious in consideration that is twofold, in the war there was the Vichy French who gave up the Jews to the Germans, and now that France has a massive Muslim population this could increase anti Semitism right across the country.
Question Author
4 that were listed, that doesn't mean to say there weren't a whole lot more. And yes i have mentioned Muslims as they are diametrically opposite.
If the BEEB list four then you can be fairly sure that's about it.

Douglas i don't agree,
Neither do I. The aBBC can't lie straight in bed.
Never forget Dreyfus.

I suspect anti Semitism across Europe never really went away, it just festered beneath the surface due to laws, now there is a big Muslim populations who by and large hate the Jews with a Passion we are starting to see the beginnings of a perfect Storm for hatred against Jews.

I cant see it going away unfortunately.
There seems to me to be a rise in hatred full stop.
Ymb,
I would doubt anti semitism across Europe is mainly attributable to an increase in muslims. The far right has also risen throught the continent and they on the whole are also anti Jew.

I am also a bit unconvinced by any apparent dramatic rise in incidents. The huge rises in the UK are mainly down to the employment of Shomrim and Community Security Trust who bump up the anti semitism incident figures to get Home Office Grants.

That was in the 1930s mikey, perhaps you would be better employed taking note of what is taking place in the 2000s.

/// Sarah Halimi, a 65-year-old Orthodox Jew, was killed in her apartment by a Muslim neighbour last April, in the 11th arrondissement (district) ///
According to this report there has been a drop in anti-semitic incidents, mainly due to Jewish and Muslim segregation.

Interesting:

/// Dont call it anti-Semitism: The new term is Jew hatred. Its not just semantic. The Muslims are of Semitic origin, and because most of the anti-Semitic incidents in France are perpetrated by Muslims, the French felt obligated to come up with a new term. ///
Question Author
so not isolated incidences, but are on the rise, that fact should be worrying not just to the French, but right across Europe, including here.
I've never understood the hostility towards Jewish people, they are just people, same as everyone.
Question Author
David
totally agree, but i wonder if these attacks are by far right groups, i find it very worrying and distasteful
emmie

Seems you would rather blame far-right groups, than those who hold a religious and political hatred towards the Jews, going back many years.
Question Author
its difficult to know just who is doing it, could be far right groups, or local Muslims who have a grievance, this latest boy seems to have been attacked by youngsters, what are we teaching our children i wonder. The fact is its not going away any day soon, and that the police should crack down on it... whether its in France or in UK
