In 1992 I started taking interest in Israel and very quickly thereafter became aware of the immense hate called antisemitsm directed against the Jews and their state.
So this year it's been 28 years of discussing Israel and antisemitsm whenever the opportunity arose.

All this time most of the antisemitic hate has been directed against the Jewish state and is the result of people buying into Palestinian lies.
The main reason for antisemitsm being an epidemic today is decades of Palestinian Holocaust denial, antisemitic propaganda,

history revisionism and so on.
The 2nd biggest reason for today's enormous problem of antisemitsm is decades of politicians promoting Palestinian lies.

towards Israel and the Palestinian Authority should not be trusted to fight against antisemitsm.
If you're not attacking the cause you are Don Quixote fighting windmills and it's only working in your own imagination but not in reality.

in the fight against antisemitsm:

2. Education. Antisemitsm must become obligatory in all schools possible in UN member states. The history of Israel needs to be taught alongside with the history of the Jews and antisemitsm. These 3 are linked together.

was possible. The years before and after. (Many are completely unaware of the effects it had afterwards. i.e. that survivors were committing suicide decades later)
