In the BBC Radio "The World Tonight" interview, responding to questions on the rise of antisemitism in Europe and worldwide, Samuelsexplains how "antisemitism opens the door to other forms of bigotry."
"The Internet and social media are the new intruments for the propagation of an ever mutating antisemitism, that affects not only theJews," Samuels stated, adding, "in the case of the antisemitic float at the Aalst Carnival, recently delisted from its World Heritage status by UNESCO member-states concerned by the banalizationof racism, this was not only a Jewish issue, just as Corbyn was not only a Jewish, but a British issue."
"Thanks to the adoption of the IHRA Working Definition of antisemitism, a growing number of countries in Europe and worldwide are nowcapable to identify antisemitic acts more clearly and punish the perpetrators"... and regarding the current rise of antisemitism and the impact of the Wiesenthal Centre, "we have been able tomake a difference in recent years.Nevertheless, governments and society must show the political will to get their act together," concluded Samuels.
