The U.S. government said Wednesday that long-standing anti-Jewish prejudice, anti-Israel sentiment, and a rise in Europe's Muslim population, are contributing to an increase in world-wide acts of anti-Semitism. The finding came in a State Department report mandated by Congress.


He also said the stereotype of Jews as manipulators of the world economy persists, and that anti-Semitic language has crept into, for instance, leftwing criticism of economic globalization:"You know it's not just some rightwing ultra-nationalist skinhead types," he said. "Now you're getting some fairly, otherwise respectable intellectuals that are left-of-center, who are anti-globalization who are starting to let this stuff creep into their rhetoric, and that's disturbing."


But it says official and state-supported anti-Zionist propaganda in Arab media, notably Syria's, often crosses the line separating legitimate criticism of Israel and its policies from anti-Semitic vilification.

"Where I think we are on firm ground is the denial of Israel's right to exist, or denial of the Holocaust, or a double standard for Israel, or demonizing Israel's leaders," he said. "These are examples, demonizing Israel's leaders for example with a cartoon with a swastika and so on. Those are the type of clear examples where I think it is commonly agreed that that becomes anti-Semitic."

美国政府发言人周三表示，长期存在的反犹太人偏见，反以色列的情绪，随着穆斯林人口在欧洲的增加，从而大大加剧了世界各地的反犹太主义行为。这一结论是由国会授权国务院编撰的一份报告中作出的。

他还说，人们对犹太人操纵世界经济的刻板印象仍然存在，而且反犹的语言也发生了演变。，左翼批评经济全球化的声音不绝于耳。例如，其中一些言论说道：“你知道这些言论不仅仅是一些右翼极端民族主义的光头党类型的人说的，”而且“现在您可以看到一些相当体面的立场中间偏左的知识分子也开始加入到反对经济全球化的阵营中来了，谁在反全球化？又是谁在放任让这种东西渗透到他们言论中去了呢，这是令人不安的。 ”

但这份报告指出，在阿拉伯媒体上、尤其是在叙利亚媒体上，官方和国家支持的反犹太复国主义的宣传，往往对以色列及其政策的合法批评和对反犹的造谣诽谤之间的界限往往混淆不清。

发言人又说：“我认为我们是在坚决地剥夺以色列的生存权，否认（纳粹对犹太人的）大屠杀，无视对以色列采取的双重标准以及妖魔化以色列领导人等行为。 ”他说：“在卡通画中将以色列领导人和纳粹党徽放在一起以达到妖魔化的效果等等。这些典型的例子不一而足。我认为这些（假象）似乎昭示着反犹已经成为一种共识。 ”
