It Has become an article of faith in much of the American press that anti-Semitism in Europe is surging and that age-old hatred of Jews, after a post-Holocaust period of silence and shame, is once again coming to the surface. Why? First, there has been a sharp increase in anti-Jewish vandalism (against synagogues, for instance), mainly but not only in France. Second, criticism of the Israeli government's Palestinian policy, expressed across Europe's political spectrum, has become so widespread and often so fierce that some Jews in Europe feel it is spilling over into hostility to them as people, for seeking to defend Israel's actions. Third, a French populist, Jean-Marie Le Pen, who has expressed anti-Semitism in the past, has rocketed into prominence by reaching the final round of France's presidential election. Fourth, far-right parties elsewhere in Europe, from Austria, Italy, and Denmark to Poland and Romania, some with anti-Semitic ingredients or histories, continue to make a splash, sometimes even joining ruling coalitions.

机译：在大屠杀后的沉默和耻辱期过后，欧洲的反犹太主义风起云涌，犹太人的古老仇恨再次浮出水面，这已成为美国许多媒体的信条。为什么？首先，主要是但不仅是在法国，反犹太人的破坏行为急剧增加（例如，反对犹太教堂）。第二，在整个欧洲的政治范围内表达的对以色列政府的巴勒斯坦政策的批评变得如此广泛，而且往往如此激烈，以至于欧洲的一些犹太人感到它正蔓延到他们作为人民的敌对状态，以寻求捍卫以色列的行动。第三，过去曾表达过反犹太主义的法国民粹主义者让·玛丽·勒庞（Jean-Marie Le Pen）通过进入法国总统大选的最后一轮而迅速崛起。第四，欧洲其他地方的极右翼政党，从奥地利，意大利和丹麦到波兰和罗马尼亚，其中一些具有反犹太主义成分或历史，继续引起轰动，有时甚至加入了执政联盟。
