Europe's "tolerance" is increasingly becoming anti-Semitism

Like all nations, Israel is not perfect and has made mistakes and has enacted policies that could invite criticism. And, such criticisms, in the context of serious debate are legitimate. However, the anti-Israel movement seems to increasingly be a home for anti-Semites. As outright anti-Semitism is socially unacceptable, it has been masked by railing against the Jewish state.

The whiff of anti-Semitism has arisen here in the US but seems to be much more prevalent in Europe; particularly in areas with large numbers of Muslim immigrants. Making matters worse, the state, despite much lip service, continues to turn a blind eye to such activity in the name of diversity and cultural sensitivity. In other words, they are gutless appeasers who have been cowed.

For the most recent example, here is video (h/t Powerline) of a "boycott" of Israeli goods at a French supermarket. As you can see, theft and thuggery have now become accepted protest.
