A haunting and terrifying report from Craig S. Smith of The New York Times, who investigates the brutal murder of a young Jewish Parisian at the hands of a religiously- and ethnically-diverse, but equally poor and disaffected, band of the French underclass that called themselves “The Barbarians.” Though several of the victim’s assailants were Muslims, many of the 20 others involved in the abduction and torture of Ilan Halimi were not, as Smith eloquently explains, painting a picture of the growing anti-Semitism in France that looks less like a clash between Judaism and Islam, and more like an unsettling imitation of 1930s Germany.
