Anti-Semite Incideuts In Europe
The Israeli “Operation Peace for Galilee” in Lebanon, pro
vided the pretext for a blurring of any significant differences
between anti-Zionist and anti-Semitic calumnies in the

Western Europe.
Below is a partial list prepared by ADL’s European office.
We presume that many incidents remain unreported.
