From his kosher store in Paris, David Slama has watched the rise of a violent "new anti-Semitism" for more than a decade. Last month's bloodshed at the Jewish Museum in Brussels, he says, was only a question of time.
"Anti-Semitism? We don't even talk about it any more. We're used to it," said the shopkeeper as he stacked crates on the sidewalk in the capital's northeastern 19th district.
"Unfortunately, there will be other attacks. We have to live with it."
The shockwave from the May 24 shooting, which left three people dead and one in critical condition, and the arrest of a French Islamic radical, Mehdi Nemmouche, over the atrocity, has sent jitters through Jewish communities across Europe.
Europe's treatment of its Jewish minorities remains a highly sensitive issue, with memories of the Holocaust in World War II still haunting the continent.

(53,833 posts)...more so when people ignore, mock, or ridicule anti-Semitism. Recently an article was posted about anti-Semitism and it was met with "so what? Jews say bad things." and "what about Israel?!". I was watching a program about Nazi hunters and the consideration they had to take in order to prevent major backlash against the local Jewish community; minimal backlash is always expected whenever Israel does anything or is suspected of doing something.
We aren't being rounded up, so anti-Semitism doesn't seem to be a "real" problem to many people, including some Jews.
