The leaders of Jewish communities should also act to distinguish defence of the State of Israel from the fight against anti-Semitism. . . .Hmmmm, let's see; if the Jews are the cause of anti-Semitism, which is a bad thing in some parlance, then why don't we just eliminate the Jews? Yeah! That's the ticket! This could be the white paper the Arab community has been waiting for! That it's from the UN only legitimizes their hatred and resolve to destroy (or attempt to) Israel.
Contextualising the memory of the Holocaust with that of other genocides and serious events in contemporary history in order to make sure that at the end of the day everyone can feel the Holocaust as their own tragedy, both Jews and non-Jews.
In other words, according to the U.N. experts' draft report, discrimination against individual Jews is bad, while "anti-Zionism"--the denial to the Jewish people of an equal right to self-determination--is not. Since it is the perception of unconditional Jewish support for Israel that leads people to attack a Jewish cemetery, and anti-Semitism was absent from the Muslim world prior to the Arab-Israeli conflict (the mufti of Jerusalem and his friend Hitler notwithstanding), the way to defeat anti-Semitism is for Jews to cut loose defense of the state of Israel. And by the way, anti-Semitism will diminish if only we stop emphasizing the unique horror of the Holocaust.
