So will a conference on anti-semitism really make any difference?

[YaddaYaddaYadda]

I know I've posted a few times about anti-semitism (and I'm sure some people think I should give it a rest) but it's something that's really worrying me at the moment. There's a conference - see here starting today to look at developing strategies to combat the rise in anti-semitism but will it really make any difference? The optimist in me hopes so, the cynic in me doubts it...

donnie, i would like to contact you privately regarding something you mentioned on this thread- sorry if this isn't the place for this post but i wanted you to see this message. how does one mumsnetter contact another?

Rev and donnie (if she sees this) Can contact me on [email protected]

The Guardian: Anti-semitism and Islamophobia rising across Europe

I cannot identify the actual study on the Pew site by any description in this piece. There is pewresearch.org/pubs/1097/america-europe-ideological-gaps-over-israel study, but it specifically talks in terms of 'sympathy' not active emnity.

sorry, this article is from last summer. I was looking at studies published this year. Will have a further look back. I'm especially interested to how they define the term "hostile".

sherezade - I have just seen this, will email you!
