Except Eastern Europe for the most part has no large populations of Germano-Slavic / Yiddish Jews to kick around.
So much for the idea that a nuclear-armed Israel was going to eliminate anti-Semitism. European (not just Eastern European) xenophobia has migrated to Muslims--as well as remained fixated on the descendants of the few Roma who survived the Holocaust. It might be the case that xenophobia for dominant groups becomes obsessed over religion just when the religion has largely lost grip with people and culture of the dominant group that is doing the hating of the 'rootless cosmopolitans' (it by the way sounds like a term Hitler would have used in his Mein Kampf). The Nation had an article back in 2003? or 2004? that revived the term to remember Edward Said. Lots of ironies there, but a very good use of the term in that case.
