UN Hosts First Ever Meeting Dedicated to Combating Anti-Semitism
(TIME) The UN General Assembly gathered Thursday for its first ever meeting dedicated to global action against anti-Semitism. The informal meeting, attended by about half the 193 member states, was organized by mainly Western nations in order to address an "alarming outbreak of anti-Semitism worldwide." Planning began last October in response to the murder of three people outside the Jewish Museum in Brussels, Belgium, and the killing of a rabbi and three children in Toulouse, France.
