The hatred looks different this time. There are no ghettos(隔都（犹太人聚居区）) or pogroms(大屠杀（针对犹太人的暴动）); no European government espouses it(支持它（指反犹主义）). In some ways the recent surge of antisemitism—including the stabbing of two Jewish men in London on April 29th—has a distinctly 21st-century character. Stand back, though, and the mindset of prejudice is horribly familiar.(然而退一步看，这种偏见的思维方式却惊人地熟悉。) So are the risks: for Jews across the world, but not only for Jews.
这次的仇恨看起来不同。没有隔都或大屠杀，也没有欧洲政府公开支持它。从某些方面看，近期反犹主义的激增——包括4月29日伦敦两名犹太男子被刺事件——具有鲜明的21世纪特征。然而退一步看，这种偏见的思维方式却惊人地熟悉。风险也是如此：对全世界的犹太人而言，但不仅仅是对犹太人。
The bloodshed in Golders Green, a hub of Britain’s small Jewish community, followed a spate(一连串) of firebombings at Jewish sites in London. Last October an attack on a synagogue in Manchester killed two congregants(会众（犹太教堂的信徒）). Heartbreakingly, many British Jews for the first time feel obliged to play down(淡化，低调处理) their Jewishness in public: slipping star-of-David pendants inside shirts, removing skullcaps en route to school or work. These fears are not uniquely British. In March synagogues were targeted in Michigan and the Netherlands. In December, after a crescendo(高潮，渐增) of hate crimes, 15 people were murdered at a Hanukkah party on Bondi Beach in Australia.
戈尔德斯格林是英国小型犹太社区的中心，这里发生的流血事件之前，伦敦多个犹太场所已遭一系列燃烧弹袭击。去年10月，曼彻斯特一座犹太教堂遇袭，两名会众遇害。令人心碎的是，许多英国犹太人首次感到有必要在公开场合淡化自己的犹太身份：把大卫之星吊坠塞进衬衫里，在上学或上班途中摘下圆顶帽。这些恐惧并非英国独有。3月，密歇根和荷兰的犹太教堂成为袭击目标。12月，在仇恨犯罪愈演愈烈后，澳大利亚邦迪海滩的一场光明节派对上，15人被杀害。
Rage over Gaza, especially among Islamists, is an important but oversimplified explanation. Antisemitism did indeed spike(激增，急剧上升) in Europe and America with the atrocities(暴行，残暴行为) in Israel on October 7th 2023 and the ensuing war. Yet an explanation is not an excuse. Everyone should be able to distinguish between an elderly man at a London bus stop and a Middle Eastern state. Jews’ views on Israel (whatever they are) can never justify their persecution(为迫害他们作辩护). No opinion should be punishable with violence.
对加沙的愤怒，尤其是伊斯兰主义者的愤怒，是一个重要但过于简化的解释。反犹主义确实随着2023年10月7日以色列的暴行及随后的战争在欧洲和美国激增。然而，解释不是借口。每个人都应该能够区分伦敦公交车站的一位老人和一个中东国家。犹太人对以色列的看法（无论是什么）绝不能成为他们被迫害的理由。任何观点都不应通过暴力来惩罚。
