President Reuven Rivlin told Israeli ambassadors stationed in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Pacific on Thursday, “European national discourse is often accompanied by anti-Semitism and xenophobia and that poses problems for Jewish communities and the State of Israel."
Rivlin continued, "I have said before and I will say it again: we must not show any tolerance for expressions of anti-Semitism. We reject anti-Semitism, even if it takes on different guises, hiding behind the fig-leaf of supporting and loving the State of Israel.”
