Rabbis Are Again Being Attacked And Stabbed On German Streets

Looks like all those careful and insincere distinctions between anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism aren't having much of an effect on murderous anti-Semitism:

An anti-Semitic insult preceded the stabbing of a rabbi in Frankfurt that has drawn expressions of outrage and concern from local officials and Jewish groups, police said Monday. Witnesses reported the attacker first spoke to the rabbi in an unfamiliar language as he walked down the street in the German city's Westend neighborhood Friday evening, police spokesman Manfred Feist said. Then, the man said in German "I'll kill you, you (expletive) Jew," before stabbing him and fleeing. The rabbi, 42-year-old Zalman Gurevitch from the Chabad Lubavitch organization, was recovering Monday in a hospital as prosecutors announced they increased the reward for information leading to the arrest of his attacker to 4,000 (US$5,400) from 2,000 (US$2,700).

We don't know what the big deal is. He was just expressing "legitimate criticism of the State of Israel." People do that all the time these days, ya know.
