A number of international Jewish youth movements, including Bnei Akiva, Habonim, Young Judea and others, are holding identical ceremonies in at least 10 countries around the world, focused on understanding the roots and dangers of anti-Semitism and practical ways to combat it. In addition, throughout the week the Jewish Agency will be holding special training sessions on dealing with the new anti-Semitism in Jewish educational centers around the world, and, together with Jewish communities and federations, on supporting Israel and distinguishing between legitimate criticism of Israeli policy and anti-Semitism.
The Jewish Agency has posted, on its "Building A Jewish World" website, a number of educational units, suggested activities, and discussion groups, for use by educators and individuals around the world.

...the fight against anti-Semitism as part of the struggle against racism and for democracy and freedom.
"Struggle against racism"??? Is Israel not an ethnostate in which only Jews are first-class citizens?! And is pushing for laws against "anti-Semitic hate speech" part of the "struggle for freedom"?
The more the Israelis open their lying, hypocritical mouths, the more I hate them. :angry:
