Fight against Anti-Semitism
Throughout history, Jews have been persecuted politically, economically, religiously and racially. Since the 1990's, a new form of anti-Semitism has been identified, an opposition to Zionism and Israel, the Jewish State. Due to a recent amendment to the Jerusalem Program, the set of ideals and principles to which all Zionists agree, "the struggle against all manifestations of anti-Semitism" is now included amongst the basic tenets of Zionism.
Question for discussion:
Have you ever experienced anti-Semitism in your life? What effect do you feel the persecution of Jews, either historically or continuing today, has had on your life and outlook? How would your life be different if you had to encounter anti-Semitism on a regular basis?
