Gingrich: U.S. run by “anti-Jewish” elite

The United States under President Obama is \”dominated by a secular, anti-Christian and anti-Jewish elite,\” Newt Gingrich said. Gingrich, the onetime speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives and a likely presidential candidate for 2012, spoke on March 25 at a meeting in Iowa of the American Family Association, Politico reported.

J’accuse

Philippe Karsenty is not sure exactly when he snapped. He does recall a certain morning in Paris when one of the employees in his software firm walked into his office, and, instead of talking business, brought up something rather unexpected: \”What did you do yesterday in Gaza?

Gibson Film Causes ‘Passion’ to Rise

The ghosts of virulently anti-Semitic nuns may haunt Mel Gibson\’s new film about Jesus\’ final days, some Catholic and Jewish scholars are warning.

Anti-Semitism Hits France

A fresh outburst of anti-Semitic violence throughout France has Jewish leaders fearing the return of Kristallnacht.

The reference to the horrors of Nazi Germany, issued by French Jewish leader Jean Kahn, hit the French dailies, as police in Marseille were still investigating a fire that reduced a synagogue to ashes.

The incident punctuated a weekend of anti-Jewish aggression that included attacks on synagogues in Lyon and Strasbourg and a shooting at a kosher butcher shop near the southwestern city of Toulouse in which no one was injured.

In addition, a French Jewish couple was injured in a weekend attack in the southern part of the country.
