A woman scorned

Yet another anti-Semitic scare turns out to be something quite different -- this time, the vengeful actions of a mentally unstable woman whose ex-husband remarried a Jewish woman many years younger than her.
This doesn't mean, however, that these attacks are not connected to the trend of increased global anti-Semitism. In a climate where Jews are being physically and verbally attacked by others, they make natural targets for people with mental health problems and thuggish tendencies as well. And people who might never have considered taking their anger against individual Jews out in such a way, or even have framed their anger in such terms, feel it is permissable.
