Indivisible anti-Semitism Far from being a wake-up call that forced the French to their senses, Mohammed Merah's act served as an inspiration for other anti-Semites.
On March 19, it will be two years since Mohammed Merah slaughtered three Jewish children and a rabbi in the courtyard of the Ozar Hatorah Jewish day school in Toulouse, France.
Far from being a wake-up call that forced the French to their senses, and compelled them to purge their society of the Jew-hatred that inspired Merah to film himself blowing his victims' brains out, his act served as an inspiration for other anti-Semites.
According to the French Interior Ministry, anti-Semitic attacks rose 60 percent in 2012 over 2011 levels.
