 | | Most of the recent attacks on Jews in Western Europe were the work of young Arabs or other Muslims, as local commentators acknowledge.[10] Assaults on Jews in Europe are driven by anger at the government of Israel, for whom European Jews are a conven- ient local surrogate. | | | It is the claim that Europe is awash in anti-Semitism, that the ghosts of Europe's judeophobic past are risen again, and that this atavistic prejudice, Europe's original sin, explains widespread European criticism of Israel, sympathy for the Arab world, and even support for Iraq. | | | The main source for these claims is a spate of attacks on Jews and Jewish property in the spring of 2002, and some widely publicized opinion polls purporting to demonstrate the return of anti-Jewish prejudice across the European continent. |

| | QandO: Old Europe, New Europe |
| | Eastern Europe remembers that, during the communist era, many West Europeans did not believe their neighbors were mature enough to have democratic societies, while Americans “naively” believed that freedom and democracy were universally valid aspirations. | | | They have no problem believing what Old Europe characterizes as the "naive" American nonsense disguised as foreign policy which believes it can succeed in bringing freedom to Iraq and the Middle East. | | | Again, 15 former Eastern bloc European nations signed on as opposed to 7 nations of "Old Europe". |

| | The comment was a brutal put-down to US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, who ruffled feathers last year by lambasting France and Germany and their allies as the "old" Europe over their refusal to back the US-led intervention and subsequent occupation of Iraq. | | | Spanish Prime Minister Zapatero is meeting with his German and French counterparts in Madrid on Monday, a further step in fine-tuning Spain's relationship to Europe. | | | Zapatero, seeking to place Spain back in the bloc's mainstream five months after taking office in the wake of the Madrid train bombings which left 191 people dead, directed a thinly-veiled barb in the direction of Washington to declare that "the old Europe is brand new." |
