PARIS — “I am not an anti-Semite,” French comedian Dieudonné M’bala M’bala says with a devilish grin near the start of his hit show at this city’s Théâtre de la Main d’Or.

Then come the Jew jokes.

In front of a packed house, he apes Alain Jakubowicz, a French Jewish leader who calls the humor of Dieudonné tantamount to hate speech. While the comedian skewers Jakubowicz, Stars of David glow on screen and, as the audience guffaws, a soundtrack plays evoking the trains to Nazi death camps. In various other skits, he belittles the Holocaust, then mocks it as a gross exaggeration.

Anti-Semitism has been around in Europe for centuries. It is made worse by Muslims who migrate to European countries. Nazism and Communism took anti-Semitism to a new level of extremity and never really died.

I have never understood the anti-Semitism that has chased the people of God around the world for the last 3,000 + years.   

Very strange as far as I know the Jews have not caused any blood baths or government over throws, unless attacked themselves in the last 60+ years.

I wonder, is the evolving French anti-Semitism worse than that on any American college campus?

You and me both Vesta.  I've never understood it either.

 I don't think there are more than 13 million the world over.
