Deja vu — Judith Apter Klinghoffer

JEWS UNSAFE IN EUROPE

Sorry, but I have nothing to add except that when Jews had no army their blood was permitted in Europe. Now that Jews have an army, the same holds true outside Israel and if the Europeans have their way, the same will be true in Israel. And, no, do not buy the connection with Gaza. Muslims are NOT attacked when their terrorist coreligionists murder or their armies fight nor are Christians attacked when their armies do. Their children, certainly, do not need added protection in school.

Jeff Jacoby is right, It is Anti-Semitism pure and simple. These headlines speak for themselves.

In Odense, the birth place of Hans Christian Andersen, the local school refuses to admit Jewish children and Barbed-wire fences and security guards are a regular part of many Jewish childrens' school day in Denmark:

A number of school administrators have come forth in recent days to confirm that they recommend Jewish children should not enrol at their schools.
According to school administrators, law enforcement officials and social workers, the on-going conflict in Gaza has led to heightened tensions between Jews and Arabs - particularly Palestinians - here in Denmark.
And although few headmasters of schools have faced the situation, most of those at schools with a high percentage of children of Arab descent say they try to prevent Jewish parents from enrolling their children there.
On Monday, headmaster Olav Nielsen of Humlehave School in Odense publicly admitted he would refuse Jewish parents' wish to place their child at his school.
The comments were made following an incident last week in which two Israeli citizen's were shot and wounded at a city shopping centre. Police believe the incident was a reaction to the Gaza conflict.
Other headmasters have now come forth to support Nielsen's position, adding that they are putting the child's safety first.
At Caroline Skole in Copenhagen's Østerbro district, video cameras watch over the playground and entrances of the school, which is surrounded by a 2.5 metre-high barbed-wire fence.
