An EJU conference of Jewish lawyers and legal experts held in Brussels on December 2nd led to a decision "to establish [a] pan-European legal task force to combat anti-Semitism."

In an article titled Obama Fundraiser and Ambassador Blames Israel for Anti-Semitism (Update), Daniel Halper has the following update.
UPDATE: Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich responds on Twitter: "Pres Obama should fire his ambassador to Brussels for being so wrong about anti-semitism."
William Jacobson writes Can Israel Survive A Second Obama Term? Part 2. The article contains an excerpt from an interview with Charles Krauthammer.
What is important to remember is the fact that dedicated professionals took time from their busy schedules to come together and draw attention to a problem that must be tackled immediately.
