NEW YORK, July 15 – Jews worldwide should launch a concerted effort against current manifestations of antisemitism, because the survival of Israel and the Jewish people are at stake, World Jewish Congress President Ronald S. Lauder said in his address today to the Global Forum for Combating Antisemitism. The Jerusalem event, held July 13-15, is the premier biennial gathering for assessing the state of antisemitism globally and formulating effective forms of societal and governmental response. Attendees are part of a coalition of public figures, political leaders, heads of civil society, clergy, journalists, diplomats, educators and concerned citizens dedicated to tolerance and the fight against antisemitism and other forms of hatred.
