Reply #25: I'm happy to hear of this work in fighting European anti-Semitism. [View All]

But today, the organization, like the ADL, is focusing primarily on supporting Israel. As I recall, one leader of the group provided a guideline of anti-Semitism for the EU. One criterion, that "criticism of Israel is anti-Semitic," was rejected. That, however, was not the point. The point was that it made clear the "new" direction of this organization.

And I can only expect that through its many European offices, it will continue to act mainly as a proIsrael group. That in itself is not a problem except that, as part of the American Israel Lobby, like AIPAC, it has taken a right wing Likud slant. They seem to be working against the goals of peace orgs like Peace Now, Jewish Voice for Peace, and others, if I can name but a few of the mainly Jewish organizations involved in attaining Middle East peace.
