Anti-semitism round-up...

The latest news...

In Morocco, a Jewish businessman told Israel National News that he was shocked at the weekend to find that his store in the town of Mogador had become the focus of an anti-Israel demonstration.

Shop owner Noam Nir said such demonstrations are becoming more commonplace in Morocco, as evidenced by a large protest against King Mohammed's only Jewish advisor around the time of Passover.

Nir noted that in Morocco, there is no distinction made between Zionism and Judaism, so criticism and hostility toward Israel is the same as criticism and hostility toward all Jews. As such, relations between local Muslims and Jews are deteriorating fast.

In Paris, police late last week were informed that a dozen kosher shops and a Jewish school were defaced with swastikas. Paris Mayor Bertrand Delanoe decried the vandalism as an act of anti-Semitic hatred and vowed to fight it. The incident occurred just days after dozens of Jewish tombstones in the northern town of Strasbourg were desecrated.
