Pew poll: Anti-Semitism on rise in Europe

Ed Morrissey scolds the report for predictable “islamophobia” moral equivalence:

I don’t recall the Jews terrorizing Madrid, London, Beslan, or Moscow.  I don’t recall Israel rising up to demand the death of European editors and publishers after printing cartoons criticizing Jews.

The Jews in France didn’t conduct nightly riots in the banlieus and burn hundreds of cars every night.

If Muslims have seen a rise in negative attitudes in Europe, it’s not exactly an irrational reaction, and it’s hardly equivalent to anti-Semitism on a continent that saw mankind’s worst genocide on Jews within some of our lifetimes.

Remember, everyone: radical Muslims aren’t “the new Jews.” They’re “the new Nazis.”
