Israel’s 2015 Report on Anti-Semitism Paints Dismal Picture

The Times of Israel reports: The world is an awful place and everybody hates the Jews. That, at least, would be a fair assumption to make after reading a report put out by Israel’s Diaspora Affairs Ministry this week on international anti-Semitism.

Painting a pretty bleak picture, the 26-page compendium of incidents and trends appears to strive for an almost “real-time” look at what occurred the world over in 2015.

But bleak or not, “the picture is the picture,” said its author, Yogev Karasenty, the ministry’s director for combating anti-Semitism, in a conversation with the Times of Israel.

Karasenty said the findings are based on dozens of reports from agencies such as the Anti-Defamation League, the Tel-Aviv based Coordination Forum for Countering Antisemitism, and Tel Aviv University’s Kantor Center for the Study of Contemporary European Jewry.
