Experts agree education is the key to fighting hatred of Jews, but disagree on how to define antisemitism
Jewish communities around the world have experienced a surge in anti-Semitism since the 11-day Israel-Gaza flare-up began on May 10; but the question remains, what can be done about it?
Experts in human rights and Jewish groups say that education is the long-term answer to this form of hatred, but disagree on the approach.
In the US, Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, told The Media Line that the number of antisemitic incidents was up nearly 65% in the two weeks since the start of the recent hostilities between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, as compared to the same period last year leading up to May 10.
