Israeli President: Anti-Semitism "Corrupts Society"
(CNN) Oren Libermann - "For us, it is clear as daylight. Anti-Semitism is a presence in society that corrupts society itself," Israeli President Reuven Rivlin told CNN. "We try to explain to the whole world that if you don't fight against anti-Semitism, it will hit your societies. There are stereotypes present in societies that create a lack of understanding; treatment of minorities which is not humane or moral will corrupt societies." "We are diligent, and we have to be even more diligent, to explain in all those places where anti-Semitism is spreading, or returning, that we are not ready to accept it....Evil can sprout in any society that fails to examine itself, that fails to remember the past, and that fails to educate."
