EU Racism Watchdog Finds Many Pro-Palestinian Groups Are Anti-Semitic

Anti-racism | 05.12.2003 13:56 | Anti-racism | London

The European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia (EUMC) found that most incidents of anti-Semitism were perpetrated by pro-Palestinian groups and Muslim Arabs in Europe.
The report was not published by the EU, because the troubling conclusions were considered potentially "inflammatory".

The 112-page study, “Manifestations of anti-Semitism in the European Union,” found that anti-Semitism isn't just for Nazis anymore. In particular, EUMC brass feared that one of the report's key conclusion -- that Muslim and pro-Palestinian groups have generated a new wave of hatred.

Some people may be surprised by the EUMC report's conclusion that “anti-Semitic activities” are now being perpetrated as much by those on the far left of the political spectrum as by those on the far right.

In such nations as France, Italy and Sweden, the study notes, “sections of the political left and Arab-Muslim groups unified” to organize demonstrations at which “anti-Semitic slogans could be heard and placards seen.”

“In the extreme left-wing scene,” the study adds, “anti-Semitic remarks were to be found mainly in the context of pro-Palestinian and anti-globalization rallies and in newspaper articles using anti-Semitic stereotypes in their criticism of Israel.”

The report can be read in many European papers, but I link to a pro-Israel site called Haganah b'Internet, where the document has been digitalized and thus allows easy navigation among the 112 pages:
