The Knesset and world Jewry must work together to fight anti-Semitism, MKs and European Jewish community leaders said Monday.In an Israel Jewish Congress event at the Knesset Immigration, Absorption and Diaspora Committee, IJC chairman Vladimir Sloutsker warned that anti-Semites try to hide behind anti-Israel sentiment.“Anti-Israel propaganda puts in the minds of Europeans that Israel is inhumane, repressive and denies the human rights of non-Jews, which justifies anti-Semitism and makes people believe Jews deserve to be attacked,” Sloutsker warned.Immigration, Absorption and Diaspora Committee chairman Yoel Razbozov called for Jewish communities around the world to report anti-Semitism to the panel so it can “act aggressively” against the phenomenon; perhaps even physically.Speaking to a Jewish National Fund emmissary who was the victim of an anti-Semitic attack in Sydney, Razbozov referred to his past as a professional judoka, joking: “I wish I was there to take care of it.“We talk about small incidents [of anti-Semitism] here and there,” he added. “We need to put out the small fires to avoid a bigger one.”French lawmaker Meyer Habib, a close friend of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, spoke about the rise in anti-Semitic attacks in his country, even though the government tries to fight it.if(window.location.pathname.indexOf("656089") != -1){console.log("hedva connatix");document.getElementsByClassName("divConnatix")[0].style.display ="none";}“Most racist attacks in France are against Jews, even though we are only one percent of the population,” Habib explained. “ ...Muslim extremism is an international problem. The world’s eyes aren’t open enough.”As for anti-Semitism disguised as being anti-Israel, Habib chasticed a French senator who called to boycott Israel for human rights reasons and said that, “100,000 people were massacred and gassed in Syria! Why is no one protesting them?”
