Head. Sand.

European Jews are reasonably copasetic about their future:

Dahan, speaking by telephone from Lille, painted a picture of a flourishing community and warned against getting carried away by exaggerations. "Certainly, our ancestors and grandparents had much more difficult lives than we do today. Today we are better organized and equipped, more conscious. We have a young generation that asks questions," Dahan said... "There is certainly no reason to panic. The [European] states are doing everything in their power to keep the Jewish community here," Haddad said.

By "everything in their power" he means "letting Hezbollah advocate murdering Jews on national television" and "ignoring anti-Semitism." Which I guess are kind of the same things. And then there are the minor inconviences that come with life in multiculturalist, tolerant Europe:

A mob of teens yelling "Croak, dirty Jew!" on the main pedestrian mall of Lille, in northern France, upset Rabbi Eliahou Dahan, but did not scare him into leaving France, he said.
