you know it does sort of point also europeans can start being a bit scared oh my god if i open my mouth or i criticize israel's prime minister i might be. accused of being aggy sematic because at this sort of point you can use these blanket definitions over everything so how do you think that should be finessed if i can say that would. i actually support some of these legends that are intended to ban hate speech or or public expression of hate for it and that in several cases it really works now when it comes to anti-semitism there has been something to time for example a polish government tried to ban criticism of poland recently the famous holocaust low which led to the to the pressure to suppress some forms of open expression of it's a criticism about the behavior of ulster in the past towards us and so so you know there are some nuances here of course but what i really think is really crucial is

the role of the leaders and the role of political leaders after the attack on the french philosopher i don't think a quote. amount of micro expressed very openly that there is no place for anti-semitism in france no i didn't have not hear such strong statements from the leaders of east european countries from either oregon or from from. europe from contains your under people there in poland and we really are. just people in a land of face very. strong care and he said tendencies that are not confronted by the leaders and psychologically we know that this statement of the leaders creates the norm and the norm is very essential for changing people's behavior yes i guess this is also a very confusing image. because on one's has and. the israeli government as we said earlier could be very intolerant toward any kinds of

criticism but then on the other hand we see prime minister netanyahu cozying with people like viktor orban from hungary any and he comes from the far right and it's very confusing as an image. well if it's any help you're not the only one confused by this kind of behavior i'm confused too but you know that's a problem and it goes back to what the previous speaker was saying about the role of leaders and their bit consistency in coherent attitudes why you cozying up to someone that has such an extreme views against the against migron think is jews and and you know there is nothing i can say in favor of that anya is doing a thing that you opposed to news and think you can it can have both policies in the same time which which i think in the long even in the show term is wrong i think a lot of it is to actually use common sense and common sense most people understand

when the criticism if you criticize the blockade on gaza or don't you patient or rest under arrest in the middle of the night of people keeping them we felt by this has nothing to do we feel we're fine to simitis and this is a to do we've we've got all of the occupation to be a view of the state of israel on the other hand if you say on the other hand that the state of israel is no i to exist as a jewish state this is completely different thing and this is one when the lungs called and most people understand but it's also fully the really to said the line and not to use it full as you i think imply to use for thought you knew steve reasons yeah but you see now i mean you know i had completely agree with your distinction between the two to two scenarios and but as you said if now anyone is going to criticize an incursion into gaza or you know the random raids in

the way ok by d'huez bank they could be immediately slapped with this auntie zeituni as bill and they could be made little that they're illegal because they're too you know they did they went against the law by to by criticizing that. what this means that the low is badly phrased basically divides the los as to be divided in a way that will make it clear this distinction between between the two what is criticism legitimate criticism of israel as one of the previous speakers or saying this actually play into the hands of the far right if israel is above criticism and the jewish state's is not this place into actually custer and to some it isn't but this is control of other countries in the media this is not the point the lowest will be very clear where the line is drawn between between the two and then if it's not maybe it's better not to have a look at it go. now what really pushed president mccall to

come up with this at this particular time. well as i showed that actually it's not the first time he's mentioned this he did mention this a couple of years ago when he was commemorating and d. to develop deaves which was as i said when the jews were parked the french jews were parked in a sports arenas in a north of paris before being sent over of center to concentration camps so it's something that's been there before and remember this is not the first time we've semitic kind of attacks and problems in france to a couple of years ago now or so there as it was last year excuse me was was an elderly lady that seem to have been killed because of an anti-semitic attack so it's not new and already back then he had said that maybe did it all had to be changed so so it's there obviously because it is usual and it's taken on a specific kind of. perhaps it didn't have before i think there's two things to add to it is that one is part of the law there is a question about the zionism but he's also there's an element against hate speech

and the role that social media's play on that and i think it's important and interesting but i would add i think the political statement to say an ism is a new form of anti semitism although i completely agree with what's been discussed in terms of we need to make sure that we're defining to white terms here that criticizing some of the actions of state of israel is not the same as anti-semitism but at the same time it's true that a lot of anti-semitism today hides behind a critique of a criticism of the state of israel so politically i think mike was right to say that that's true however legally needs to be quite clear the separation there is between criticizing the state of israel and actually anti semitism which might not be exactly the same thing let me tell you in a place where there's actually a kind of a political route brewing between poland and israel but could you see if this bill really passes in france could you see that being repeated in other european

countries. yeah i could imagine that did this form of legislation could could be transferred to another country sense since many years american jewish communities is fighting for implementation of the of the working definition of anti-semitism for example that there will be a shared agreement between countries about what these anti-semitism and what is not and also increase of criticism of this route like and understand that and this is what we also we distinguish in our research that the criticism that goes as far as to delegitimize the existence of this route so to say that israel has no right to exist or they wrecked they wrecked references to the holocaust or to direct state comparisons between what happens today in israel and between the third reich this is actually going beyond what can be accepted yes all this is already anti-semitic and i think that there could be a question agreement not only in europe in the maybe even into you know muslim states outside of europe because i believe that after

hearing two hundred percent this panel and that there might be some some shared understanding of when when the criticism of israel transgressors the porters' of becoming kind of somebody well certainly the figures show that anti-semitism is on the rise as much as a phobia i would say around many countries but we have reached the end of this program so thanks to our guests yes the mecca book believe it or so and thank you too for watching you can see the program again any time by visiting our website dot com and for further discussion go to our facebook page that's facebook dot com forward slash a.j. inside story you can also join the conversation on twitter handle is at a.j. inside story from about that hammoud and the whole team here by phone now.
