“Antisemitism a threat to democracy”: Ambassador Deborah Lipstadt Addresses RUSI

“Antisemitism a threat to democracy”: Ambassador Deborah Lipstadt addresses RUSI
On 22 February, RUSI hosted Ambassador Deborah Lipstadt, U.S. Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism and Robin Simcox, Commissioner for Countering Extremism in the U.K.
Joined in discussion by BBC journalist and presenter Emma Barnett, the event considered how antisemitism extends beyond prejudice and looked at the threat posed by this particular form of hatred to the foundations of our democratic societies.
Opening the event, Ambassador Lipstadt stated:
“There needs to be a shift in how we think about and combat antisemitism. It can be understood through a multi-layered approach. On the first layer, antisemitism is of course a threat to Jewish people and that would be enough to fight it, but it is more than just that. It is a threat to democracy and further, to national security, and needs to be seen and addressed as such.”

Criticising appalling crimes perpetrated in Gaza is not extremism or anti-Semitism

[@Mark_Dyer]

It is when you don't criticise the "appalling crimes perpetrated" in Israel on 7th October 2023; and apply different standards to the way Israel defends itself, from those you apply elsewhere in the World.

Eleven comments, only three visible and even two of those three are negative. You guys are losing!

[@KenTails]

Since when do you think their main objective was to get positive comments on YT of all places? And that it (YT comment section) represents actual public support or reception? You also realize that YT's comment filter thing is god awful these days?
You don't assess if one side or the other is winning or losing a discorse just by looking at this site or any other cesspool of social media, unless you are a complete moron.
