We appreciate your choosing to participate in the 4th conference of the Global Forum for Combating
Antisemitism , taking place here in Jerusalem, the capital of the state of Israel.
Antisemitism has taken many different forms in the course of its long history. While old Antisemitism
still exists, new forms of Antisemitism are manifesting themselves in recent years putting into use
new technology and modern media to spread an ancient hate. Increasingly anti-Israeli tendencies and
activities are inseparable from Antisemitism, with Israel being attacked as the new collective Jew,
while Iran develops military nuclear capabilities and her leaders deny the Holocaust and threaten
Israel with destruction.
