Do not confuse legitime defense with the Hamas’s treatment to their own people, using thir religion, basical needs, coercion of the vulnerable and dependent because Hamas points of view, etc, etc, in resume do not confuse terrorists tactics, and abuse situation of Gaza with the global situation of INCREASING ANTISEMITISM.Do not manipulate diferent realities that include People suffering abuse .

May I refer everyone to Howard Jacobson’s brilliant article on the new Anti-semitism in yesterday’s Independent. Particularly its chilling conclusion about anti-Jewish consciousness seeping into mainstream thinking through language and the clever repackaging of ancient Jew-hating stereotypes. Artists and writers of the left now are performing the same role of those on the right in the 30s to de-sensitize the world to antiJewish language and thought. For T.S.Elliot read Carryl Churchill.

i am astounded that anybody should be amazed at the rise in antisemitism.i mean isreal enters gaza and slaughters 1400 hundred people and destroys thousands of homes and this conference is worrying about the growing anger by ordinary joe bloggs about the seemingly couldnt care less attitude by most governments around the world.what a crazy crazy world we live in.

Ani-Semitism and other kinds of discrimination is highly reprehensible and abhorrent. However, one must set the parameters, and determine and lay down the elements when will one be considered as anti-semetic. We cannot afford to have a broad definition of such term such that freedom of expression is undermined like what happened to Bishop Williamson.

I wonder what a decent appointed Judge would do to solve a neighbour’s dispute. Without the layers of the U.N. and weak democracy. Imbedded bigotry does not only exist in Iran etc,but in some quarters of the Western World. Festering for 50 years or more.Are you not ashamed that in 2009 the results of the 1950C still raise a problem today?

How sad, we can’t get along. Hopefully this is just people with extreme views and feelings.Is it polically correct to be anti-sematic? Seems so, because the media isn’t reporting on this issue very much. Why?

It is so important to be aware that Antisemitism is increasing in Venezuela too, population is being attack.But because it is a minority, is not so known.The WWII situation must not be repeated.I hope we can be aware on time and not so late.

Palestinians are semetic people who have been brutalized for 61+ years by an evil and chauvinistic ideology that denies their very existence … standing up to the racist impulses of zionism is not anti-semetic. zionists are racists- the rise of these horrible attacks in europe is an indirect result of the criminal actions of Israel and people feeling powerless to stop them. hold israel accountable for its war crimes.

Signs you might be anti-sematic1. You think that Jewish people control the media.2. You believe that Israel should not exist.3. You feel that Israel defending itself against Grad rockets is unacceptable.4. You believe Gaza is occupied, even though not a single Israeli soldier is in the region.5. You equate Gaza to the Nazi holocaust.6. You deny the Nazi holocaust happened.7. You believe both 5. and 6. at the same time.8. You believe in the one state solution, because it will end Israel’s existance.9. You believe the Big Lie.10.When you think of Israel, you think of the term “Zionist Aggressor”.
