Yes we have - as many countries where antisemitism is on the rise. Pardon my incomplete fluency of American English, but does "to have something in spades" mean "to have lots of it" ?

You are correct, both about the meaning of having something in 'spades' and anti-semitism being on the rise in many countries. However, the frequency and virulence of anti-Semitic behavior in France makes it a popular subject on these boards; the irony of France scapegoating right-wing propaganda as the reason, rather than the lax and inviting policies towards rabid Islamofacists, should be especially apparent to you.
