I am disgusted by the anti-Semitism of many Italians, of many Europeans.
Who co-founded Google? Sergey Brin, a Russian-born Jew whose family fled anti-semitism in the Soviet Union to settle here and who considers himself a refugee.
There’s got to be a zero tolerance to racism, anti-Semitism, any form of division and intolerance.
What strikes the historian surveying anti-Semitism worldwide over more than two millennia is its fundamental irrationality. It seems to make no sense, any more than malaria or meningitis makes sense.
Seriously, I faced a lot of anti-Semitism playing hockey as a kid. It motivated me to play well and to punch everyone who was anti-Semitic. I was taunted and called names. I’d either beat them with a goal or with my fists.
Republicans don’t give a damn about anti-Semitism. They just don’t care.
Racial prejudice, anti-Semitism, or hatred of anyone with different beliefs has no place in the human mind or heart.
When you grow up Jewish, you are exposed at a very young age to the phenomenon of anti-Semitism and its extreme manifestation in the Holocaust. I spent a lot of time as a little kid wondering how something like that could happen.
There wasn’t anti-Semitism in France.
I grew up in a suburb of Baltimore with an extremely high concentration of Jewish families – where the Levys and Cohens in the high school yearbook went on for pages, where I could count far more temples than I ever could churches.

We must stand up to anti-Semitism at home and abroad.
I was born near Bucharest, but my parents came to France a year later. We moved back to Romania when I was thirteen, and my world was shattered. I hated Bucharest, its society, and its mores – its anti-Semitism for example.
I’m horrified to have been alerted to anti-Semitism showing up in a Facebook group I’m associated with. As a busy mum I don’t have time to monitor everything.
It should be a known fact that the Arabs never had a problem with anti-Semitism, but we need to state that over and over again.
Throughout my work as a state legislator and member of Congress since 2002, I have worked as hard as I could to build bridges. I’ve worked to combat anti-Semitism and confront Holocaust denial. I’ve organized dozens of meetings to promote interfaith dialogue and joint projects.
I can assure you that Austria will fight all forms of anti-Semitism in Europe with determination, be it still an existing one or also newly imported anti-Semitism.
We will not import crime, terrorism, homophobia, and a brand of anti-Semitism that sets synagogues ablaze.
There is something uncannily adaptive about anti-Semitism: the way it can hide, unsuspected, in the most progressive minds.
I am categorically opposed to BDS, because it seeks to delegitimize the state of Israel, opposes a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and encourages anti-Semitism.
There’s a conflation between the critique of the state of Israel and their policies with anti-Semitism, which I think is really flawed and inaccurate.
