In France, vandals deface the Holocaust Memorial along with several other Jewish sites in Paris – a city already plagued for years by Islamic car-burnings, church-burnings, and machete attacks, not to mention several major acts of jihadist terror. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu blames this latest rash of antisemitic acts on French President Emmanuel Macron’s support for a Palestinian state and indifference to rising antisemitism.
In Sweden, which during the last few years has been increasingly tormented by Islamic violence, Jewish students are reported to be “hiding their identities. They walk to class in fear, avoid social media, and feel abandoned by their teachers and universities.”
In Germany, statistics show that the number of antisemitic incidents almost doubled last year.
In Switzerland, a new report reveals that antisemitism has reached an “unprecedented level.” It has “reached the streets”; it has “visibly prevailed against all resistance and taken a frightening turn.” While some observers expected Swiss Jews in Israel to return home after the Hamas attacks, the number of Swiss Jews moving to Israel has actually increased.
In Norway, whose Foreign Minister has promised to arrest Netanyahu if he sets foot in Norway, a writer using the pseudonym Anonymous Jew charges that the Hamas terrorists who butchered Jews in Israel are being treated as “heroes in the streets of Oslo.” Anti-Semitism is everywhere. The Norwegian government, which recognized Palestine last year, seems now to have divorced itself entirely from Israel and abandoned all sense of obligation to Norwegian Jews. “I am tired, writes Anonymous Jew, “of hiding who I am, tired of feeling like a stranger in my own country.” Consequently: “I am leaving. Not because I want to, but because I have to. I am leaving Norway, the country I loved, because it is no longer safe to be a Jew here.”
In the Netherlands, where more than a hundred Muslim men assaulted dozens of Jews in Amsterdam last November 7, a 48-year-old Jewish woman declares that the country is “over” for Jews. “Education has failed, integration [of Muslim minorities] has failed. Respect for us Jews has disappeared and will never return. There are simply too few of us, the other side is so much larger and more aggressive.” Another Dutch Jew agrees. “Jews who would have never considered aliyah before [i.e., moving to Israel] now understand there’s no future for them in Europe.” Yet another Dutch Jew says: “I am usually an optimist, a very happy person, but I worry about my children. Will they be able to go to university safely? When will it be too late to leave if things get worse? Are we back in the 1930s? Two of my grandparents survived Auschwitz. Even after October 7, we thought we could tough it out, the war would end, and antisemitism would eventually die down.” But it hasn’t.
