I, a French-born rabbi, have been sitting in a small synagogue in
Brussels, celebrating the High Holy Days. Almost 200 years ago to the
day, Napoleon convened an assembly of Jewish leaders to help him open
the door of citizenship to French Jews. It was the Enlightenment. The
Jews of France prepared to receive equal rights and become full
partners in the affairs of state. They could call Europe home.
Now I wonder if it was all an illusion. I and other Jews have begun
moving toward the sad and frankly terrifying realization that
ultimately we may have no home in Europe. It is not that I no longer
identify as a European, or that somehow my sense of loyalty to the
place of my birth has weakened. No, it is not me who has changed, but
Europe. A conflict has emerged between this new Europe and my
Jewishness, and I do not know how to resolve it.

Much has been said and written about the reemergence of anti-Semitism
in Europe, but all the discussion hasn't made the phenomenon any more
comprehensible to me. I suppose that after the Holocaust, no amount of
anti-Semitic madness should surprise us. Yet, I am surprised - and
frightened.

It is quite simple. For the last 60 years Israel has behaved
increasingly badly.<

Nonsense. It's just that Europeans, particularly the French, tired of
hearing of their complicity with the Nazi occupation, and the
deportation of Jews, want to believe the Arab lies spread about ISrael,
so that they can be assuaged of their own guilt. They were always
antisemites, but were forced to ACT as if they weren't due to the
post-war guilt vis a vis the Holocaust. Now, they are able to point to
supposed ISraeli "bad behavior" to allow the guilt to be assuaged and
to justify their own INNATE Jew-hatred.
