Fox News reports that a surge in anti-Semitic attacks by Muslims in France has sparked an “unprecedented” wave of immigration in Israel.
And in the United Kingdom, Breitbart reports, anti-Semitism is on the rise as hate crimes have more than doubled over the last year.
The Jerusalem Post says Jewish men were taunted with anti-Semitic insults in Germany as athletes gathered for the European Maccabi Games.
Even in the United States, according to an editorial in the Wall Street Journal, President Barack Obama has a “blind spot’ toward anti-Semitism, evidenced by his nuclear deal with “the fanatical anti-Jewish regime in Tehran.
So now a special forum is planned at the United Nations to talk about anti-Semitism worldwide.
Officials with Proclaiming Justice to the Nations have announced plans, along with the World Council of Independent Christian Churches which represents about 40 million Christians, to hold an event at the United Nations to highlight the ongoing human rights violations that plague Jewish communities.
It will be August 11, 2015, from 1:00 pm to 3:00 p.m. at the United Nations headquarters in New York, Room CB-1B-CR01. Registration should be accomplished by Thursday.
Laurie Cardoza-Moore, president of PJTN and a special envoy for WCICC, said, “The Catholic Church denounced anti-Semitism and deicide five decades ago, yet millions of Christians still believe the heresy of replacement theology, believing that the Jewish people are no longer the inheritors of the covenant and that the land does not belong to all Israel.
“This is unacceptable and must be condemned in the strongest terms possible. PJTN will continue to act as a firewall around our Jewish brethren, as it is, and always was, our biblical duty to stand with the state of Israel and the Jewish people.
“‘Never again’ isn’t just an empty statement – it is something that needs to be worked on daily,” she said.
Cardoza-Moore, who will be taking part this fall in the WND tour to Israel Nov. 3-13 along with WND CEO Joseph Farah and rock ‘n’ roll hall of famer Richie Furay, explained the event will focus especially on anti-Semitism within the Christian world.
It’s being sponsored by the Permanent Missions of Palau, Cyprus and Israel and is for ambassadors, diplomats, clergymen and concerned members of the public.
Earlier this year PJTN and WCICC attended a special meeting at the Vatican to discuss the importance of highlighting the 50th anniversary of the church’s historic declaration, Vatican II/Nostra Aetate, to Christians of all denominations and to all people around the world at a time of rising global, genocidal Jew-hatred.
Speakers at the U.N. event will include Archbishop John Lupoli, president and founder of WCICC; Cardoza-Moore; Ambassador Caleb Otto; Charles Asher Small, president, Institute For The Study of Global Anti-Semitism and Policy, Rabbi Analia Bortz; and others.
The goal is to share evidence of the growing threat of anti-Semitism and develop solutions.
“As governmental and religious leaders speak and share data, their focus will be on relating lessons from successes and failures, of identifying the many facets of this scourge and how Christians can develop best practices at the U.N. to address this ancient threat to the Jewish People and all people of faith,” the announcement said.
