Danny Danon told a High-Level Forum on anti-Semitism on Wednesday that recent studies found a 40 percent increase in violent anti-Semitism globally.
In France, he said, anti-Semitic incidents today are seven times higher than in the 1990s. And in Britain, he said, 2014 saw the highest-ever number of attacks against Jews.
“On Twitter, 63 percent of the anti-Semitic tweets are calls for violence against Jews,” Danon said. “But only 1 in 10 are ever removed.”
U.S. Ambassador Samantha Power called for “more effective tools to monitor and confront anti-Semitism online and in social media.”
Understand that these social media methods of communicating anti-semitic views will turn the crime to the criminals. When Moshiach comes, he will demand justice on all those who vilified Jews. All those who hate Jews will be caught within their media postings.
