A cover story in last Wednesday's Washington Post addressed antisemitism in France:

"At first, neither the politicians, nor the courts, nor the intellectuals, nor the media, nor public opinion, nor civil society -- none of them said anything," said Simon Kouhama, president of the Jewish Citizens Forum, an organization founded largely by Sephardic Jews. "We began to ask if we could even stay in France. Were we really French citizens? Were we Jews? We had the feeling we were a people apart."

Worth a read.

She's baaaaack . . .

Home sweet home. Had a great two weeks in Greece - although getting sick with a cold on vacation is not my idea of fun. (And to anyone contemplating flying while sick, here's a word of advice: don't.) Other than that I had an amazing time.

Having spent the last two weeks disconnected from TV, newspapers, internet, and anything not written in Greek (which I don't speak), I know there's probably a lot that's been happening in the world, but right now I'm pretty out of it. My brain stubbornly insists I'm not really home but still having drinks in Mykonos, partying in Ios, or lying on the black-sand beach in Santorini. I expect to be caught up by Monday. In the meantime, back to my vacation.
