When anti-Semitic incidents or other problems accumulate, they can’t help asking whether history is repeating itself.</i><br /><br />Tobin in Commentary<br /><i>After decades of celebrating the unexpected revival of European Jewry after the Holocaust that created new vibrant communities where desolation had existed in 1945, we have now reached the moment when the cycle of hatred has turned around again.</i><br /><br />No, Elyahu, I think they both were trying to make the same point.

I don't think that he meant to be malicious in any way or to leave out the North African Jews.

Jonathan Tobin in Commentary has an article based on Garfinkel you posted below, "Confronting the end of European Jewry", but from which he has scrubbed all allusion to Jews from Muslim lands as a factor of post-Holocaust Jewish Eropean revival or even as a mere presence there. <br /><br />Frankly, you can hardly tell it's the same article. <br /><br /><br />PS: Palette? or did you mean "palate"?Sylvianoreply@blogger.com
