New anti-Semitism report

A report by the EU's European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia (EUMC) finds that anti-Semitism is 'on the rise in several EU countries, including Britain'. According to the Financial Times, there has been criticism of the report from some Jewish leaders:

Serge Cwajgenbaum, the [European Jewish Congress's] secretary, said the report was "full of contradictions" and had failed to address properly the issue of the identity of the perpetrators.

It was clear that in France, where about half of the EU's Jews live, young Muslims of north African origin were mainly responsible, Mr Cwajgenbaum said. "How can you fight anti-Semitism without having the courage to identify its authors?"

His criticism could revive accusations that the EU has been trying to minimise the scale of anti-Semitism in the region while questioning the view, common among European Jewish communities, that the perpetrators are mainly young Muslims.

In the Guardian today, Linda Grant writes about French Jews leaving for Israel and expressing views like these:

"France is not an anti-semitic country, there isn't a sentiment of anti-semitism, but it is now very difficult for a Jew to live in France."
.....
"When the rabbi in Paris tells us, don't go out wearing a kippa, even though I don't wear one myself, you know you can't live like this any longer. The politicians make great efforts but they can't do anything. We can't stay in Europe, there are more and more difficulties for us every day."

I recall a time when the streets of Paris were full of marchers chanting 'Nous sommes tous des Juifs allemands' ('We are all German Jews') in solidarity with Daniel Cohn-Bendit.
