"Now come? Where were you when we needed you," would ask my parents, Holocaust survivors, buried on the Mount of Olives, the great nations who came to Yad Vashem ceremonies for the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz and came out against anti-Semitism. The names of their parents and brothers who ascended the heavens were engraved on my parents' tombs and were not given graves and tombstones. How terrible and painful the silence of the chiefs of the nations was during the war.

There were attempts to stir the world, but the world was silent. The Vatican and its clergy, scattered throughout churches in Europe, remained silent despite their influence. Jews appealed to the United States government and the British, with the aim of bombing the tracks to Auschwitz, without success. And every day the disabling of the tracks would have prevented the murder of thousands of Jews.

The Jewish settlement establishment in Israel, chaired by the agency's chairman David Ben-Gurion, had no real-time information on what was happening in Europe until the first news of the extent of the atrocity was reached, in 1942. The local leadership's leadership did not have the intelligence arm to provide this information. And even when the information came, despite all their efforts, the leaders of the community fell short of delivering their responsibility to the entire Jewish people and to every Jew, they exercised the founding of the State of Israel, the nation-state of the Jewish people, which opened its doors to all Jews wherever they were.

Now the reality has changed. There is a Jewish state, there is a Jewish government and there is an address to the Jewish people. This is also the secret of the success of the conference. When Jews gather in their own country and not as a dispersed flock - they transmit strength, cohesion, security and military power - and the response of the world is different. Or so, when the President of Israel calls and the Prime Minister backs up and the arms of the government and their organizations mobilize to bring here the world's Shi'ites - they are indeed coming.

Rituals and speeches have value. Injury to Jews throughout the ages begins with words and incitement ceremonies. This counter-ritual, in which the world's Shi'ites and their leaders broadcast a message against the hatred of the Jews - expresses a change of direction. I wish there was such an event before that war, for example after Kristallnacht.

This event has another layer: the State of Israel broadcast its responsibility to the Diaspora Jewish people and declared war on anti-Semitism worldwide. It should be a war for everything, just as we are fighting the Palestinian incitement. Anti-Semitism will not go away unless we fight it. It did not go away in our generation but only takes on different forms and curves. Anti-Semitism and hatred of the Jewish people have accompanied us since we were a people. It is written in sources and history pages.

75 years after the Holocaust, in "other" enlightened Germany, anti-Semitism has grown again. As the President of Germany honestly lamented: "We have not learned a lesson, hatred is spreading. I wish I could say that we have learned the lesson once and for all, but I cannot." The Jewish state's responsibility for the fight against anti-Semitism requires the establishment of a state authority to deal with it, with organized intelligence and the cyber warfare campaign against incitement, in cooperation with friendly states.

The State of Israel bears responsibility for the entire Jewish people. As we work to protect the State of Israel, we must work to protect the Jewish people in the Diaspora.
