UN Report Highlights Uptick in Anti-Semitism
(Fox News) Talia Kaplan - The UN on Monday released a report, "Combating Antisemitism to Eliminate Discrimination and Intolerance Based on Religion or Belief," which stressed that the "prevalence of anti-Semitic attitudes and the risk of violence against Jewish individuals and sites" is significant and appears to be increasing. The report was released by the UN Human Rights Council's special rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief, Ahmed Shaheed. It notes the "growing use of anti-Semitic tropes by white supremacists including neo-Nazis and members of radical Islamist groups"; an increase in "anti-Semitic narratives or tropes in the course of expressing anger at policies or practices of the government of Israel"; and "the objectives, activities and effects of the Boycott Divestment Sanctions (BDS) movement."
