Arab Spring Sees Rise in Anti-Semitism
(Jerusalem Post) Gil Shefler - "[While] the popular uprisings in the Arab world do not represent a general change in attitude towards Israel, Zionism and the Jews, it seems the anti-Semitic discourse and incitement have become more extreme and violent," says a report released Sunday by the Kantor Center for the Study of Contemporary European Jewry at Tel Aviv University. "Charges of an international Jewish conspiracy have been a central motif in the anti-Semitic propaganda that has accompanied the Arab Spring uprisings. This motif has been emphasized in each of the countries, especially by way of pointing a blaming finger towards Israel, Zionism and Jews conspiring against Arabs and Muslims."
