Australians join French commemorations of the yortzait of the Hyper Cacher and Charlie Hebdo terrorist murders in Paris last year, as a Parisian Jewish Councillor Alain Ghozland is found murdered in his apartment, with antisemitism as a possible motive. This follows the attack on a kippa wearing Jew in Marseilles, which sparked a debate over whether Jews should wear the religious head attire in the streets in France, with some urging non-Jews to join Jews in wearing it as a gesture of solidarity and defiance to terrorists. A book about a romance between a Jewish woman and a Palestinian Arab, banned from schools in Israel, becomes a best-seller and is followed by a viral Youtube of Jewish and Arab Israelis in Tel-Aviv, gay and hetrosexual kissing each other.A new, annotated version of Hitlers notorious, anti-Semitic manifest Mein Kamf, has been published in Germany, to unexpectedly high demand and vigorous debate, including amongst Jewish groups, as to the benefit or detriment of the publication to the struggle against hate.
