Brussels, 02/12/2003 (Agence Europe) - On 29 November, MEP François Zimeray (French Socialist) diffused extracts from the conclusions of the report entitled "Manifestations of anti-Semitism in the European Union" received, he said, from a "source close to The Financial Times". The European Observatory against Racism and Xenophobia in Vienna had decided not to publish this study by the Research Centre on Antisemitism at the University of Berlin as it said the "quality of the data it contained was bad" (see EUROPE of 25 November, p.4). In a press release, Mr Zimeray finds this "surprising" as the authors of the survey call upon the national authorities at the highest level to acknowledge the extraordinary danger created by antisemitic violence in the European context. Mr Zimeray cites passages from the report concerning the current sources of antisemitism and notes that, in the period covered by the study: - "anti-Semite incidents were committed above all either by right-wing extremists or radical Islamists or young Muslims mostly of Arab descent, who are often themselves potential victims of exclusion and racism; but also that anti-Semite statements came from pro-Palestinian groups (…) as well as from politicians (…) and citizens from the political mainstream"; - "It can be said that the native Jews had been made 'hostages' of Israeli politics. Here anti-Semite, anti-Israeli and anti-Zionist motives are mixed together"; - "In the left-wing scene anti-Semite remarks were to be found mainly in the context of pro-Palestinian and anti-globalisation rallies and commentaries critical of Israel in the respective media".
