Next week the Israeli government will host an International Conference on Combating Antisemitism in Jerusalem, with speakers and delegates from across the world gathering “to raise awareness about the key drivers of modern antisemitism and to address the critical challenges posed by the evolving realities since October 7, both for the State of Israel and for Jewish communities worldwide.” This ought to be welcome: such a conference is long overdue, and there is much to discuss.
It doesn’t take a genius to work out that Israel right now might not be the ideal venue - when you add into the mix the people invited then obviously it becomes a conference about Israel not antisemitism and without wishing to plunge down a black hole or carry water for hateful ideologies - they aren’t interchangeable subjects
