Newsletter July 3rd, 2020 Dear Friends,  The past week saw several anti-Semitic incidents, both physical attacks and the targeting of properties with anti-Semitic vandalism. Protesters at an anti-Israel rally in Belgium called for violence against Jews. Meanwhile, the modern-day Blood Libel that Israel is responsible for police brutality in the United States, continues to be promoted, by some activists in the US as well as within British politics and in the UK branch of the Black Lives Matter movement.    The United Arab Emirates and Israel announced a joint initiative to combat the coronavirus in the Middle East. As an interfaith coalition, the Combat Anti-Semitism Movement is inspired to see bridge-building initiatives like this take shape during these challenging times. We wish all of our followers in the United States a happy and safe Fourth of July! READ THE FULL NEWSLETTER FEATURE OF THE WEEK STUDENTS SPEAK OUT AGAINST ANTI-SEMITISM. A CREATIVE VIDEO PRODUCTION CONTEST “Students Speak Out Against Anti-Semitism. A Creative Video Production Contest” is being sponsored by the Combat Anti-Semitism Movement (CAM) and B’nai B’rith International. This unique video contest for students across the world was launched, in order to advance public debate surrounding anti-Semitism, hatred and intolerance. Students are asked to create 2-3 minute videos, which promote a better understanding of anti-Semitism, tolerance and communicate a message of equality. This unique public awareness campaign is designed to harness the creativity of students in order to boost education about anti-Semitism and the prejudice, bigotry, hatred and violence it engenders.
