Jew-Baiting

Little green footballs points to an article in Canada's National Post describing how more and more Jews are leaving France to escape a rising tide of antisemitism from extremist Muslims:

"There have been dozens of synagogues and community centres firebombed, Jewish schools covered with anti-Semitic graffiti and set on fire, kosher shops peppered with bullets, and tombstones toppled and desecrated, a domino effect of nauseating proportions. In Paris, on the statue of Alfred Dreyfus, the words 'sal juif' -- 'dirty Jew' -- were painted in 2002, an epithet that has made a comeback in parts of France, although perhaps not spray-painted on brick or stone as often as 'Jews Get Out.'"
