Quotes From UN General Assembly Meeting on Anti-Semitism

French philosopher Bernard Henri Levy:

"A world without Jews indeed would not be a world. A world in which the Jews once again would become scapegoats for all people's fears and frustrations would be a world in which free people could not breathe easy, and where the enslaved would be even more enslaved."

—————

Saudi Arabia's Ambassador Abdallah Al-Moualimi:

"Anti-Semitism and Islamaphobia and all crimes that are based on religious hate are inextricably linked, they're inseparable."

—————

U.S. Ambassador Samantha Power:

"Rising anti-Semitism is rarely the lone or the last manifestation of intolerance. When the human rights of Jews are repressed, the rights of other religious and ethnic groups are often not far behind."

—————

Israel's U.N. Ambassador Ron Prosor:

"The world pledged 'Never again,' but here we are again. Seventy years after the Holocaust ended, European Jews are once again living in fear ... Israel will never be silent. We will stand guard and we will safeguard the Jewish state and the Jewish people."
