Netanyahu says focus of anti-Semitism has moved from Jewish people to Israel
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says “new anti-Semitism” is coming from two different sources: “the traditional far-right anti-Semitism” and also a mixture of the far-left and radical Islamists.
“Anti-Semitism throughout the ages has always been preceded by slander… what has happened now is that the slanders that were directed against the Jewish people are now directed against the Jewish state,” he says.
He calls for combating anti-Semitism by addressing not only attacks on individual Jews but also on Israel.
