Antisemitism Expert: “Stop Answering Every Lie — This Is Now a Political War” Dr. Fiamma Nirenstein, a senior fellow at the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs and adviser to Israel’s Foreign Ministry on combating antisemitism, says responding to antisemitic claims with facts alone is no longer enough. Nirenstein argues that modern antisemitism has evolved into a political weapon used across universities, international institutions, political movements and cultural organizations to delegitimize Israel and Jews. She points to the UN General Assembly, which adopted 15 resolutions singling out Israel in 2025, compared with 11 concerning all other countries combined. “The battle against antisemitism cannot be won by endlessly answering every lie,” she wrote. “It must be fought where antisemitism now operates: in politics, institutions, universities, international organizations and culture.” Israel onlines WhatsApp channel Join Israel online
