    In Nazi Germany," noted Brendan O'Neill in the Wall Street Journal, "it was all the rage to make one's town Judenfrei."

    "Now a new fashion is sweeping Europe: to make one's town or city what we might call 'Zionistfrei' -- free of the products and culture of the Jewish state. Across the Continent, cities and towns are declaring themselves 'Israel-free zones,' insulating their citizens from Israeli produce and culture. It has ugly echoes of what happened 70 years ago."

    The Nazis said "kauft nicht bei Juden": do not buy from Jews. The slogan of these new racists is "kauft nicht beim Judenstaat": do not buy from the Jewish State. The Nazis repeated "Geh nach Palästina, du Jud": Go to Palestine, you Jew. Racists in Europe shout "Jews out of Palestine!"

    Let us take a look at who they are. The city council of Leicester, for one, recently approved banning products "made in Israel." Think of that: a city without Israeli products. This is not Nazi Germany in 1933; this is a British city under Labour leadership in 2016. Two Welsh councils, Swansea and Gwynedd, blocked commercial partnerships with Israeli companies. In Dublin, a well-known restaurant, Exchequer, decided not to use the Israeli products. The Irish town of Kinvara became "Israel-free". In Spain, the town of Villanueva de Duero no longer distributes Israeli water in its public buildings. The French city of Lille froze an agreement with the Israeli town of Safed.

    Antisemitism is on the rise in Europe to an extent not seen since the Nazi era, and it's leading to policies and actions that are overly anti-Jew. They may be "peaceful" in the sense that no one is advocating immediate violence, but people need to remember that the Nazis didn't start with the immediate murder of Jews. They started with conspiracy theories and policies like these - economic and social encumbrances designed to make it harder for them to make a living and to single them out. It took a few years for that to turn into direct Nazi-sponsored violence and took a few more to turn into mass killings.

    And this modern antisemitism is driven by a weird political coalition. It's leftists, Muslims, self-loathing non-Muslims, and your more traditional antisemitic hard right finding an area of agreement - their common hatred of Jews. If I was a Jew living in Europe, I'd seriously consider leaving, because though this is driven by extremists, the general public is indifferent like they were in the 1930s. They don't necessarily harbor personal hatred of Jews, but they don't care and wouldn't lift a finger to stop an injustice against Jews.
