Somewhere between the Holocaust and 2015 It Became OK to Blame Jews Again
(Telegraph-UK) Emma Barnett - When I heard the news that four Jews had been murdered last week on European soil by an Islamist gun-toting terrorist, my blood ran cold. While I was stunned and enraged by the murders of the Charlie Hebdo cartoonists and writers - both as a journalist and citizen - it was the murder of my fellow Jews just across the Channel that left me feeling personally exposed. A startling YouGov survey found that more than half of British Jews fear the community may have no long-term future in Europe; over half say they have witnessed more anti-Semitism in the past two years than they have ever seen before. It's become OK to blame "Jews" again - and the latest stick to beat the Jewish diaspora with is Israel.
