"The Economist" Tackles Anti-Semitism in Europe [by DL]

The headline: "The return of Jew Hatred."

The sub-head: "Europe has an obligation to protect its Jews."

The lede: "Toulouse, Brussels, Paris, and now Copenhagen. The list of European cities where Jews have lately been murdered for being Jews grows longer."

The bullshit transition: "Such worries are understandable, but they need to be put into context."

The fearless prediction: "The shooting at the Great Synagogue on Krystalgade does not herald another Kristallnacht."

Department of Inadvertent Humor: "Jews are targets, but so are groups of non-Jews: commuters, off-duty soldiers and, above all, cartoonists."

The irresistible touch: "and, above all."

The incontrovertible kicker: "The jihadists detest few things more than the sight of European Muslims declaring 'Je suis Charlie Hebdo.'"

The invisible typo: "Jew" for "few" in the last sentence.
