One of those battles is in Malmo, the Swedish city now notorious across Europe for its attitude to Jews, and for its Mayor's apparent insouciance - to put it no stronger - towards attacks on Jews.
That attitude has been confirmed in the JC's own dealings with the council. We have asked basic questions - such as whether the council is concerned by attacks on Jews and what policies it has to deal with them - and the response has, to date, been a total refusal to answer. If it was clear before that the Malmo authorities have a problem with Jews, it is now even more so.
