Poll: 'Anti-Semitic notions' on rise among French, other Europeans
Los Angeles Times
The French have grown more likely to believe that Jews hold too much power in business or world finance, as well as other "classical anti-Semitic notions," according to a new survey from the Anti-Defamation League that compares attitudes in 2009 and 2012
The French have grown more likely to believe that Jews hold too much power in business or world finance, as well as other "classical anti-Semitic notions," according to a new survey from the Anti-Defamation League that compares attitudes in 2009 and 2012.
The poll, released Tuesday, found nearly half of the French people surveyed said they think it is "probably true" that Jews there are more loyal to Israel than France, an increase from years past. Asked if Jews "still talk too much about what happened to them in the Holocaust," more than a third of the respondents agreed.
Bias against Jews is in the spotlight in France after a gunman killed a rabbi and three children at a Jewish school in Toulouse on Monday. The French interior minister said the alleged attacker, suspected to have links to a group associated with Al Qaeda, said he shot them in revenge for the killing of Palestinian children.

UN Textbooks for Palestinian Children ‘Explosively Anti-Semitic, Anti-American and Anti-Israeli'
CNS News
The textbooks used to educate Palestinian children who live in refugee camps came under fire at a briefing on Wednesday on Capitol Hill where experts said lessons of intolerance and hatred toward Jews and Israel fill the books’ pages.
Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.), chairman of the House subcommittee on Human Rights and co-chairman of the Bi-Partisan Coalition for Combating Anti-Semitism, told CNSNews.com that U.S. donations to the United Nations Refugee and Works Agency (UNRWA) make the federal government accountable for what is in the books.

Problematic ban for San Francisco's Jews
OneNewsNow
One California city's initiative that would ban circumcision may make it to the ballot in November.
Proponents of the effort to end circumcision in San Francisco collected more signatures than the required 7,168 to place the measure on the ballot. Petitions were sent to the San Francisco Department of Elections at the end of April, but the initiative is expected to be challenged by Jewish groups in the region.
"I understand that people, if they misunderstand it or they look at it very superficially, I understand that it would upset them," admits StandWithUs CEO and co-founder Roz Rothstein. "It is a ritual that causes pain and does make a child bleed; it's the ritual of circumcision."
If passed, the measure would ban circumcisions on males under the age of 18 and impose a $1,000 fine or a prison sentence on those who do not comply. The law would, however, permit some exceptions for medical reasons, but not for religious reasons. So Rothstein believes it will stifle religious freedom.

British Prime Minister Condemns Rise in Anti-Semitic Incidents
Associated Press
Prime Minister Gordon Brown says the record number of anti-Semitic incidents across Britain last year is deeply troubling and has called on Britons to exercise greater vigilance.
Brown's comments come as the Community Security Trust reported that 2009 was the worst year for anti-Semitic incidents in Britain since the Jewish group first began tracking them in 1984.

Ahmadinejad Calls Israel 'Racist' in U.N. Rant
The Wall Street Journal
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called Israel the "most cruel and repressive racist regime" at a racism conference in Geneva, giving a fresh reminder of the challenges the U.S. faces in its effort to improve relations with Tehran. European diplomats walked out of the room after the comments Monday. The U.S. and a handful of European allies had already boycotted the United Nations event out of concern it would become a platform to criticize Israel, and the Iranian president's planned attendance added fuel to those concerns. Earlier in his term, Mr. Ahmadinejad questioned whether the Holocaust happened and said Israel should be wiped off the map. Delegates from the EU walked out as Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, at lectern, addressed a conference on racism at United Nations headquarters in Geneva on Monday. Israel, the U.S. and allies denounced his comments Monday. "We will not allow the Holocaust deniers to carry out another Holocaust against the Jewish people. This is the supreme duty of the state of Israel," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at a ceremony marking Israel's annual memorial for the six million Jews killed in the Holocaust, the Associated Press reported. ...U.S. deputy ambassador to the United Nations Alejandro Wolff denounced what he called "the Ahmadinejad spectacle." He told reporters in New York that "we call on the Iranian leadership to show much more measured, moderate, honest and constructive rhetoric when dealing with issues in the region, and not this type of vile, hateful, inciteful speech that we all saw." Mr. Ahmadinejad, in his rambling speech Monday, castigated the U.S. and Europe for acting after World War II to make "an entire nation homeless under the pretext of Jewish suffering," according to an English translation of the speech released by the AP. He said the West used Jewish suffering as a pretext for hostility against Palestinians.

McCain criticizes Obama again about Iran
My Way News
WASHINGTON (AP) - Republican John McCain raised the specter of a nuclear Iran in a speech to a pro-Israel group, once again chastising Democrat Barack Obama for his willingness to meet with leaders of Iran and other U.S. foes. McCain has criticized Obama for saying in a debate last year that he would meet leaders of Iran and other U.S. foes without preconditions. The Arizona senator argues Obama is naive and inexperienced to think that such a meeting would yield progress. "It's hard to see what such a summit with President (Mahmoud) Ahmadinejad would actually gain, except an earful of anti-Semitic rants, and a worldwide audience for a man who denies one Holocaust and talks before frenzied crowds about starting another," McCain told the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.

Jimmy Carter Defends Meeting With Hamas
My Way News
WASHINGTON (AP) - Former President Carter said he feels "quite at ease" about meeting Hamas militants over the objections of Washington because the Palestinian group is essential to a future peace with Israel. Carter, interviewed Saturday for ABC News'"This Week," airing Sunday, also said he would oppose a U.S. Olympic boycott and hopes all countries will join in the Beijing games. He spoke from Katmandu, Nepal, where his team of observers from the Carter Center monitored an election that appeared likely to transform rule by royal dynasty into a democracy with former Maoist rebels in a strong position, judging by incomplete returns. Several State Department officials, including the secretary, Condoleezza Rice, criticized Carter's plans to talk in Syria this week with exiled Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal in the first public contact in two years between a prominent American figure and the group. Carter said he had not heard the objections directly, although a State Department spokesman said earlier that a senior official from the department had called the former president.

Hollywood history repeats itself ________________________________________ Posted on WorldNetDaily.com: March 26, 2007 11:18 p.m. Eastern Sean Penn Imagine, for a moment, it's 1939. A prominent Jewish actor makes the following statement. "Let me tell you something about Germany, because I've been there and you haven't. Germany is a great country. A great country. Does it have its haters? You bet. Just like the United States has its haters. Does it have a corrupt regime? You bet. Just like the United States has a corrupt regime."

According to the ADL's annual audit, there were a total of 1,554 anti-Semitic incidents occurring in 2006.
