Israel and the new anti-Semitism

NH Berlaymont, Brussels
 

The barbaric attacks on Israel have shocked the world. But the reactions in Western countries have been no less shocking. Across Europe, America and Australia, both in public
demonstrations and on social media, wide sections of society play down or even celebrate the attacks on Israel.

 

It seems we are confronted with not just violent pogroms against Jews in Israel, but a moral pogrom against Jews and Israel in
Europe as well.

 

MCC Brussels stands against this terror. Our special event will ask:

  • Is anti-Israel sentiment – Israelophobia – the modern face of Jew hatred?
  • Are we witnessing the emergence of a new anti-Semitism?
  • What does the celebration of Hamas attacks across Western
  • Europe mean for the future of Jews on the continent?
  • Why do some seem so eager to excuse the attacks on Israel – a new phenomena of the ‘excusable pogrom’?
  • How do we show solidarity with Israel and confront anti-Semitism in its traditional and modern forms?
