A week after it was reported that anti-Semitic attacks in France were up by 50% since the fatal terror attack in Toulouse, it has been learned that another attack occurred on Tuesday, with a rav from Eretz Yisrael falling victim.
Rav Asher Eden, who heads the Kol HaNar organization, is in France to visit with talmidim and deliver shiurim. He was on a train traveling in a French suburb when the attack occurred. Two thugs attacked him while shouting “dirty Jew”, pushing him up against the wall of the train and taking his money as well.
The rav reported the incident to police in Paris.

It is extremely awful to hear of many terror incidents that occur around the globe. One must be aware of the fact that such occurences like this happen way too often. This is a clear sign that Moshiach is on his way to rescue all of us. Such incidents like these were rare back in the 1990s.
I think unfortunately this is nothing new, and terror has always been around, and its superfluous to claim that it wasn’t around in the 1990’s! Do you remember the Crown Heights riots?
Yes, but incidents like that didn’t happen every day! Now it’s everyday.
