One in four hundred Europeans is Jewish, yet the Jewish contribution to fields of knowledge and culture is disproportionate to this figure: for example, more than one-fifth of the Nobel Prizes for science have been awarded to Jews. It has been reported that Jews were particularly targeted in the Brussels airport terrorist attack. Mohammed Abrini, the surviving attacker who was arrested last weekend, has evidently told interrogators that the main target was the outgoing lounge for passengers embarking for Tel-Aviv. Events targeting Jews in Brussels, Paris and Copenhagen seem to signal a return of anti-Semitism in Europe on a new level. See also:
