The BBC focusses on anti-semitism in Europe and asks 12 experts the unevitable question: is anti-semitism really on the rise in European countries?
It is no surprise that nearly all experts mention the fact that too many people confuse criticism on Israel with anti-semitism.
“The right-wing in Israel describes every criticism of the country as a form of anti-Semitism. It is very convenient for the present government – which is the most right-wing in Israel’s history and headed by a prime minister who has not taken the smallest initiative in the direction of a diplomatic effort in the peace process – to blame everything on anti-Semitism.”
