For the last two years, The Simon Wiesenthal Center, a leading Jewish human rights NGO, has compiled a list of the top ten anti-Israel and anti-Semitic slurs. The list continues to reflect the growing global anti-Semitism and de-legitimization of Israel coming from mainstream voices.

These citings should serve as a wake-up call to those who believe that such rants are the exclusive domain of Neo-Nazis and crackpots.

killed by the bombs thrown by Palestinians or with the rockets that were

6. “[Jews] want that sucker of Syrian blood to remain and continue to prey
and suck blood. They not only want their security, but also to enjoy the
sight of Syrian blood being spilled…. Asking myself why Jewish support
