Stairway to Hell

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/anti-semitism-spike-in-germany-raising-old-fears/

FRANKFURT - Armed guards have been posted at synagogues throughout Germany for the start of Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. Anti-Semitism is once again on the rise in Europe, especially in Germany.

The tensions have been building in Germany since demonstrations against last summer's Gaza war exposed a clear anti-Jewish sentiment. Chants were heard that echoed from Germany's darkest times.

"Jew, Jew! Cowardly pig," they said.

Much more of the incendiary street rhetoric has come from German Muslims, many of whom are recent immigrants.

There's still time to change the road they're on.
