Kenneth Waltzer analyzes contemporary hatred of Jews in Europe, along with several recent attempts to explain it. He also suggests how it might be combatted:
[T]here must be a serious effort undertaken in [European] schools to stress the relevance and importance of democratic rights for all. How best to carry out such an initiative is debatable, . . . but the bottom line is that many schools have been failing to draw all citizens into a working consensus about the value of the ongoing European liberal project. Central to doing so will be to teach about the current social crisis, discrimination and its effects, and the rights of immigrants. Such . . . strategies, however, must also be accompanied by courageous teaching about anti-Semitism and its consequences, and about its roots in—among other places—radical Islam. There can be no retreat on this. . . .
[Furthermore], there is a growing need in Europe’s social-democratic and liberal parties to confront more boldly and effectively the anti-Semitic and anti-Israel currents that course through Europe’s hard left, creating insidious effects in discussion of Jews and of the Jewish state.
