The annual anti-Semitism report of the Diaspora Ministry, which will be presented to the government today, shows a disturbing trend of the distribution of anti-Semitic content by the Palestinian Authority, and a trend of non-governmental organizations dealing with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict promoting clear anti-Semitic views.

Against the background of the serious attack in the Neve Yaakov neighborhood in Jerusalem, in which seven people were murdered, and the attack in the City of David, in which two Israelis were seriously injured, the data is revealed, which is published against the background of International Holocaust Day, and which proves the amount of incitement coming from the Palestinian Authority and anti-Israeli elements who are abetting the fire.

According to the report, this year there was a phenomenon of the distribution of anti-Semitic content, which includes, among other things, the demonization of Jews, by the Palestinian Authority - first and foremost by the senior leadership, religious leaders and the official television. the study.

This phenomenon is clearly evident in the recent events in Judea and Samaria and in Jerusalem.

After the IDF's operation in the Jenin refugee camp, Palestinian Authority Chairman Abu Mazen accused Israel of the massacre, even though he knew very well that it was a battle against heavily armed terrorists.

The Palestinian Authority did not even condemn the massacre in Neve Ya'akov on Friday evening and claimed that "the responsibility lies with Israel".

There was a dramatic increase this year in anti-Semitic discourse on the Internet - in the number of anti-Semitic posts that are published and in the number of users promoting anti-Semitic content.

The gradual increase in the use of anti-Semitic discourse directed against the State of Israel, known as "new anti-Semitism", which currently accounts for 68 percent of all anti-Semitic discourse online, continues.


The new phenomenon of anti-Semitism is clearer than ever: many non-governmental organizations, which deal with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict "under the guise of promoting human rights and international law enforcement", as defined by the Diaspora Ministry, promote anti-Semitic views, which are reflected in their activities, publications and rhetoric.

"Some of them are officially financed by the European Union and other European countries," accuses the ministry.

"The discourse permeates and prevails among the Palestinian population", Abu Mazen,

While there was a decrease in the scope of anti-Semitic events in the world in general, there was a sharp increase, of 13 percent, in the scope of violent anti-Semitic events.

Among other things, there was a dramatic increase in the scope of anti-Semitic events in the United States.

Around the world, three murders were recorded in which anti-Semitic suspicion was investigated.

The month with the highest number of attacks on an anti-Semitic background in the past year was the month of May, due to the death of the journalist Shirin Abu Aqla.

"A figure that reinforces the ever-increasing rise of the new and anti-Israel anti-Semitism, as part of the entire anti-Semitic discourse," the report states.

Diaspora Minister Amichai Shikli said that "the State of Israel has the duty to lead the fight against anti-Semitism and to work to expand the adoption of the IHRA definitions, which have become the standard for defining anti-Semitism, including the new anti-Semitism that denies the Jews the right to self-determination, in as many countries and institutions around the world as possible," the minister added.
