The aforementioned essay titled “You Only Live Twice,” by Michel Gurfinkiel, founder and president of the Jean-Jacques Rousseau Institute, a conservative think-tank in France, paints an even more dismal picture for Jews living in modern-day Europe.

Published on August 5, 2013, in Mosaic, a magazine dedicated to “Advancing Jewish thought,” the article reads in part as follows:

“The Paradox (is that) European Judaism looks healthy, and secure. Religious and cultural activities are everywhere on the rise… In Paris, a European Center for Judaism will soon be built under the auspices of the Consistoire (the French union of synagogues) and the French government. Many European capitals now harbor major Jewish museums or Holocaust memorials…

“And yet, despite all their success and achievement, the majority of European Jews, seconded by many Jewish and non-Jewish experts, insist that catastrophe may lie ahead.

“One does not have to look far to see why. A large-scale survey commissioned by the European Union’s Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) tells a tale of widespread and persistent anti-Semitism…

“Among the findings: more than one in four Jews report experiencing anti-Semitic harassment at least once in the twelve months preceding the survey; one in three have experienced such harassment over the past five years; just under one in ten have experienced a physical attack or threat in the same period; and between two-fifths and one-half in France, Belgium, and Hungary have considered emigrating because they feel unsafe… All over Europe, with exceptions here and there, the story is much the same…

“For many European Jews, there is indeed a déjà vu quality to the present situation. Like Israelis, but unlike most American Jews, today’s European Jews are survivors, or children of survivors, either of the Holocaust or of the near-complete expulsion of Jews from Islamic countries that took place in the second half of the 20th century. They know, from personal experience or from the testimony of direct and irrefutable witnesses, how things unfolded in the not too distant past, and how a seemingly normal Jewish life could be destroyed overnight.”

Gurfinkiel concludes, “When anti-Semitic incidents or other problems accumulate, they can’t help asking whether history is repeating itself.”

Anti-Semitism is on the rise in Britain, too. Commenting on a Daily Mail article published on December 17, 2015, The Jerusalem Post reports, “Anti-Semitic, anti-Muslim hate crimes rise significantly in London.”

The article reads, “The number of anti-Semitic and anti-Muslim hate crimes recorded this year by police in London was 61 percent higher than in 2014.

“The figures released this week by the Metropolitan Police listed 483 anti-Semitic hate crimes documented over the 12 months that preceded Nov. 1, 2015. In the previous 12-month stretch, 299 incidents were reported…

“Commenting on the statistics, a spokesperson for the Community Security Trust, or CST, which is British Jewry’s watchdog and security service, told the Jewish News of London: “Any rise in anti-Semitic hate crimes is of concern. We hope that this reflects improved confidence amongst victims and witnesses to report hate crimes to the police as well as any rise in the number of hate crimes taking place.
