All Jewish stores have been closed in a portion of Paris. How quickly we forget the lessons of the past.

Charlie Hebdo Attackers, French Market Gunman Killed In Separate Raids
Sky News reports that kosher restaurants in Paris are closing following this latest hostage situation.
All shops in a famed Jewish neighborhood in central Paris have been ordered closed.
The Paris mayor’s office immediately announced the closure of all shops along Rosiers Street in the city’s famed Marais neighborhood in the heart of the tourist district. Hours before the Jewish Sabbath, the street is usually crowded with shoppers — French Jews and tourists alike. The street is also only a kilometer away from Charlie Hebdo’s offices.
Tens of thousands of French security forces have mobilized to prevent a new terror attack since the Wednesday assault on the offices of Charlie Hebdo in the heart of Paris left 12 people dead, including the chief editor and cartoonist who had been under armed guard with threats against his life after publishing caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad. His police bodyguard also died in the attack, which began during an editorial meeting.
