Copenhagen Terror: They Just Don’t Get It

Metro is a free newspaper handed out on major UK transport networks and other outlets. It has a readership of millions. This is its recent front page:

Once again, a European Jewish community has been targeted by Islamist terrorism, this time in the Danish capital Copenhagen. For Metro, however, the story isn’t about 37-year-old Dan Uzan, murdered as he stood guard outside a synagogue.

No, it’s all about Benjamin Netanyahu and the opportunity to turn his call for European Jews to make Aliyah into the issue of the day. And splashed all over the front page no less.
