Anti-Defamation
League chief Abe Foxman believes that anti-Semitism is at its height
since the Holocaust, and threatens the lives of Jews all around the
world. "I think when we take a look at what's going on, I think
the assessment is that anti-Semitism, not only in Europe, but
globally, is probably the worst that it's been since World War II,"
Foxman said in an exclusive interview to Ynet. "Europe is where
the Jewish people have paid the highest price for anti-Semitism, and
it's sort of an old-new phenomenon," he said, defining it as
"nationalists, anti-government people, neo-fascists, neo-Nazis
of anti-immigration and anti-government coming together with a glue
and cement of anti-Semitism. I think it’s a serious threat to
Jewish life."
The
Simon Wiesenthal Center sent a strongly-worded letter to Dutch Deputy
Prime Minister Lodewijk Frans Asscher last Tuesday addressing a major
degradation of the attitude in the Netherlands toward Jews and the
State of Israel. The specific issue the letter addresses is a
statistic from the University of Bielefeld showing that 39% of Dutch
citizens believe Israel is conducting a "war of extermination"
against the Palestinian Arabs.
Asscher reportedly addressed the issue
in the Dutch Parliament, saying the statistic was "worrisome"
and "unacceptable." However, the Simon Wiesenthal Center
calls out the Dutch official on not acting to prevent the phenomenon
from spreading further.
A
French court on Wednesday ordered controversial comic Dieudonne to
remove two sections of a video he has posted on YouTube which has
been widely condemned as anti-Semitic. In a ruling that will increase
the pressure on the video-sharing website to ban the comedian from
its platform altogether, a judge ruled that one of the passages
breached French law on Holocaust denial and another one amounted to
incitement to racial hatred.
Dieudonne M'bala M'bala was given five
days to remove the passages or face a penalty of 500 euros per day
for each of them left online. Stephane Lilti, a lawyer representing
France's Union of Jewish Students (UEJF) which brought the legal
action, said they would now ask public prosecutors to ensure that the
court's ruling is enforced.
The UEJF said it would be approaching
YouTube for talks over the steps the site should take to ensure that
"they respect their legal obligations in future." YouTube,
which has already withdrawn one Dieudonne video after he was
convicted over its content, would not comment on whether it would be
pulling the video - "2014 Year of the Quenelle" - that was
the subject of Wednesday's ruling.

My comments:
Anti-Semitism is anti-God, is anti-Christ. Satan, who rules this fallen world wants to rid the world of everything that has to do with God. Jews and Christians are at the top of his hit list. This world wide antipathy will continue until the world receives the son of Satan as "god," and then begins killing all who will not receive his "mark," as Scripture has foretold.
