Alarming Rise of Anti-Semitism in the United States: An Interview with Israel’s Special Envoy

-

In a wide-ranging interview with Fox News Digital, Israel’s special envoy for combating anti-Semitism, Michal Cotler-Wunsh, revealed a shocking insight into the origins and proliferation of anti-Jewish hatred in America.

According to Cotler-Wunsh, the roots of modern anti-Semitism in the United States can be traced back to a controversial United Nations resolution passed in 1975, which equates Zionism with racism. Although this resolution was overturned in 1991, its impact on campuses and communities across North America has been profound.

Cotler-Wunsh believes that this resolution served as a catalyst for the normalization of anti-Zionism, which she describes as the denial of Israel’s right to exist. He stresses that the failure of the United Nations to unequivocally condemn the atrocities committed by Hamas, including the mass killing of 1,200 people in southern Israel on October 7, further emboldens anti-Semitic sentiments.

To combat this alarming trend, Cotler-Wunsh stresses the importance of accurately recognizing and defining anti-Semitism. It advocates the adoption of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition, which identifies dehumanization, delegitimization and double standards applied to Israel as key indicators of anti-Jewish hatred.

The envoy also highlights the role of social media platforms in perpetuating anti-Semitism and urges them to take responsibility and use the IHRA definition to create transparent policies that protect Jews from hate online. He notes that while there are protected characteristics and community guidelines for other groups, there seems to be an exception for anti-Semitism, especially when the word “Zionist” is used as a catch-word to target the jews

Cotler-Wunsh underscores the crucial role of the Iranian regime as the main state sponsor of lethal anti-Semitism. She warns that Iran’s intent to annihilate Western and democratic values ​​extends beyond the destruction of Israel and the killing of Jews.

This is a critical moment, a turning point in the fight against anti-Semitism. Together, we stand united against bigotry and work for a world where all people, including Jews, can live in dignity, safety and peace.
