Add ToI as a Preferred Source on Google“The Jewish state will defend itself by itself against any threat,” Netanyahu says at a Foreign Ministry conference on anti-Semitism.
“That’s what we learned from history. That’s what the Jewish state is all about.”
“I don’t know if we can eradicate the scourge of anti-Semitism,” says Netanyahu. “But we have to fight it. We have learned that if unchecked these forces of anti-Semitism eventually spread and consume everything.”
“The battle against anti-Semitism starts from the top, contrary to what people believe. It does not bubble up from below; it percolates also from the top. That’s why it’s so important to host so many foreign leaders here,” Netanyahu tells the Foreign Ministry staff members.
