Danny Danon, Israel's ambassador to the United Nations, said on Sunday, against the backdrop of the giant march in New York against anti-Semitism, "While anti-Semitism continues to raise its head in the United States and throughout the world, we must move from defense to offense. We will not be silenced when Jews are murdered in synagogues and will not be ignored when those who wear kippahs are being killed in the street. We must join hands and stand as a wall against the wave of hatred.”
Ambassador Danon added that "the huge show of solidarity in New York is conveying a clear message to the entire world that it is time for action and not just talk. This is the time for legislation, the time for enforcement and the time for determined action against the wave of hatred that sweeps across social networks. In combating anti-Semitism, we expect every country to adopt determined and effective legislation, and a clear condemnation from the UN and the international community."
