An Israeli/Jewish Agency report has found that 2009 was the worst year since the Holocaust for antisemitism.
The report does recognise, however, Israel's own part in the rise.
The report found that more anti-Semitic incidents were recorded during the first three months of 2009 than during the entire previous year. Israel's Operation Cast Lead in the Gaza Strip was cited as the cause for the dramatic rise.
I suppose it is too much to ask that Israel do us no favours in future.
