The brutal killing of a Holocaust survivor raises anti-Semitism fears in France.

Mirielle Kroll, an 85 year old Holocaust survivor was murdered by neighbors alleged targeting her for her religion. She was stabbed 11 times and, for emphasis, her house was set on fire. According to the Times of Israel, "(t)he killing comes a year after an Orthodox Jewish woman in her sixties was thrown out of the window of her Paris flat by a neighbor shouting “Allahu Akhbar.”Thousands march in Paris in memory of murdered Holocaust survivor.

According to a recent NY Times article,In France, Officer Slain After Swapping Places With Hostage Is Hailed as Hero, "France mourned a police officer who died of his injuries after swapping places with a hostage held by a gunman claiming allegiance to the Islamic State."

What is going on there? What is coming to France?

Extremist political groups on both the left and the right are often filled to the brim with anti-semites. The alt-right, which has grown in popularity across the globe, is extremely anti-Semitic.

And that's just the natives; the Muslim world does have a problem with anti-Semitism as well. As such, it shouldn't be of much surprise that some of that would come with with immigrants leaving that part of the world.

I have often been amused that Islamic fundamentalists and far right groups hate each other despite their mutual disdain for Jews. It's a morbid thought, but it's strangely fascinating as well.

I like how they try to broadly characterize these anti semitic acts with anti semitism in general.

These horrible crimes we're committed by those of Muslim background, not the far right groups.

While hostility to Jews is often associated with right-wing politics, under the Labour Party’s most left-wing leader in recent history, anti-Semitism is now “more conspicuous, more commonplace and more corrosive” than at any time she can remember, according to Ms. Berger, who is the parliamentary chairwoman of the Jewish Labour Movement.

I assume you're just adding to what I said, and not trying to deflect attention away from the alt-right (whom I brought up because they're a relatively new and fast growing phenomenon). Because if you were indeed doing that, I'd view that as a defense of their anti-semitism. But you'd surely never do use such a childish and vile tactic and are instead just confirming that anti-semitism is indeed on the rise, on both the left and the right sides of the spectrum.
