Anti-Semitism On The Rise In Europe

There is a recent study that reports there is growing anti-semitism in Europe and especially in France. This report was published three days after the unidentified gunman in France killed three children of a Jewish school as well a rabbi of the school. After surveys in January and February it is now known that 24% of the French population holds anti-semetic views and that is an increase to 2009s 20% view of anti-semitism in France. It is also reported that four out of ten Europeans think that violence against Jews is a direct result of anti-semitism and anti-Israel views. "Those increases are all the more disturbing in light of the shooting attack at the Jewish school in Toulouse," said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL national director of the Monday shootings in France.
