By Emily Goodin, Senior White House Correspondent
Doug Emhoff celebrated the 40th anniversary of the attack on the Chez Jo Goldenberg restaurant in Paris with a solemn ceremony and bought a falafel sandwich afterwards.
Emhoff, who is in Paris to lead the American delegation to the closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games, visited the restaurant in the heart of the Jewish quarter where an attack took place on August 9, 1982, by the Palestinian militant Abu Nidal Organization, a group that split from the PLO.
Six people were killed and 22 were injured.
“There is a huge increase in anti-Semitism going on in the world, including here in France,” Emhoff said in his speech. “It is a crisis.”
“Anti-Semitism is more than just a threat to the well-being of Jews. It is also a threat to democracy and democratic ideals.”

Millions have been spent on the ad wars since President Biden’s dramatic elimination from the presidential election
By Sarah Ewall-Wice, Senior U.S. Political Reporter
Both Democrats and Republicans have spent millions on political advertising for the presidential election since President Biden left office last month.
According to data from AdImpact, both parties spent more than $20 million on TV advertising in states where the election will be decisive between July 21 and this weekend.
Both parties spent the most money on TV ads here, showing how important the state is to winning in November.
Democrats spend more in the other two so-called “blue wall” states: in Michigan they spend more than $10 million, compared to Republicans’ $7 million, and in Wisconsin they spend more than $8 million, compared to Republicans’ $6 million.
At the same time, Republicans outspent Democrats in Georgia, $10 million to $6.5 million, and in Arizona, $7.5 million to $3.4 million for Democrats.
Nationally, Democrats spent $14 million on Olympic advertising, while Republicans spent nothing at all.
But one of the most dramatic differences is in digital advertising. Democrats spent a whopping $42 million on Facebook and Google, while Republicans spent just over $5 million.
