Parts of media and politics ‘prefer to ignore’ violent anti-Israel clashes

Recent anti-Semitic attacks across Europe and the United States shows the “underlying ugly anti-Semitism” which parts of the media and political classes “prefer to ignore,” according to Sky News host Rita Panahi. A ceasefire between Hamas and Israel was reached on Thursday after 11 days of fighting with more than 240 deaths from both sides combined. The conflict gave rise to protests across the globe including violent clashes aimed at Jewish populations in Europe and the United States. Ms Panahi said throughout the conflict and even since the ceasefire there had been “ugly anti-Semitism” throughout cities around the world. “It really just shows that underlying, ugly anti-Semitism that exists in the community,” she said. “It’s the sort of anti-Semitism that the media and most politicians prefer to ignore. “If it was a right-wing group responsible for just one of these attacks, it would be getting saturation media coverage and there’d be all sorts of media analysis about what this means.” Via news.com.au — Australia’s leading news site https://www.news.com.au
