Teaching Palestinians to hate Israel and Jews does not bode well for the future

A recent study of Germans who grew up during the Nazi error has determined that the hatred inculcated in them then still resides in them today.

Jeff Jacoby's latest column deals with recurring anti-Semitism, or as it may more properly called, Jew-hatred.

HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE DAY always falls during the week that follows Passover. At first glance, the two would seem to have little in common -- one memorializes the millions of European Jews annihilated by Nazi Germany; the other commemorates the deliverance of the Jews from slavery in ancient Egypt.
