Last Thurday, a synagogue in Geneva fell prey to a fire. The German
Handelsblatt comments:
During the Jewish holiday of Shavuot, the largest synagogue in Geneva was destroyed by a fire on Thursday. The police proceed on the assumption of arson. Whether there is an antisemitic implication can't be told yet. Incidents like that are extremely rare in Switzerland.
We are relieved. How good of the Swiss!
And thanks to the
Handelsblatt we are now saved from jumping to the premature and hackneyed conclusion that people who flare Jewish places of worship might necessarily be antisemites.

What I'm wondering is which antisemites are responsible. It seems there are several disgusting flavors to choose from these days.
I guess we always had a broad range to choose from. We just added a particularly nasty flavour by teaching them how to progress from gifted amateurs in the field of Jew killing to genocidal professionals and then opened our borders and hearts to them.
