'It feels like almost every taboo relating to Jews, Judaism and Jewish life has been broken.”
A painted rock that was contributed to a makeshift memorial outside the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, where a gunman killed 11 last year. By Emily Tamkin Emily Tamkin Reporter covering foreign affairs Email Bio Follow May 1 at 9:30 AM “It feels like almost every taboo relating to Jews, Judaism and Jewish life has been broken.”Kantor was speaking at the release of a report published by Tel Aviv University’s Kantor Center in conjunction with the European Jewish Congress.
The result, the report concludes, is that Jewish people begin to doubt their association with places they have lived for decades. “This sense of turning gradually [into] an outsider is coupled with an ominous feeling of insecurity that reached its peak in October, after the murder of 11 elderly Jews in the Pittsburgh Tree of Life — Or LeSimcha Synagogue,” the report says, referring to the shooting at a synagogue in Pennsylvania by a white supremacist mad at Jewish people for helping refugees.
There were considerably fewer anti-Semitic incidents reported in Eastern Europe than in Western Europe, though it should also be noted that there are fewer Jewish people living in Eastern Europe. In Hungary, for example — where there are 47,400 Jewish residents, as compared to 453,000 in France — there were three major violent incidents recorded.
And while there were just nine major violent incidents recorded last year in Poland, nationalist extremists protested outside the presidential palace, chanting things like “Enough of Jewish lies!"
