This paper aims to disentangle the difficult relationship between
anti-Zionism and antisemitism. On one side, antisemitism appears as a
pressing contemporary problem, intimately connected to an
intensification of hostility to Israel. Opposing accounts downplay the
fact of antisemitism and tend to treat the charge as an instrumental
attempt to de-legitimize criticism of Israel.

On the 13th anniversary of the terrorist attack against the AMIA-Jewish
Community Center in Buenos Aires, Iran’s official news agency, IRNA,
published "The AMIA Case–From the Beginning to the present" in Spanish
and English. "Both the language and the content of this report show a
conspiratorial approach which seems taken from the infamous Protocols
of the Elders of Zion, the fabricated antisemitic libel of an alleged
Jewish plan for world domination, and has become the Bible for
contemporary Jew-hatred," said Shimon Samuels, Director for
International Relations of the Wiesenthal Center.

 The Russian version of Palestine-info carries a large number of anti-Semitic (and anti-Western) cartoons which do not appear on the portal's other language sites. The Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center attributes this to Hamas' propaganda policy which calculates that Russian-speaking target audiences are ripe for anti-Semitic and anti-Western propaganda. It also stems from the expectation that such cartoons can promote the absorption and assimilation of other Hamas' messages of radical Islam, support for terrorism, hostility toward the United States.

Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and lobbies have a great deal of influence in the United Nations, as highlighted at the infamous 2001 Durban Conference on "Racism and Xenophobia". However, as Gerald Steinberg, the Executive Director of NGO Monitor, noted, "For the first time, NGO Monitor has submitted a report to the UN which exposes the false and biased claims of many of these organizations." This report has been accepted as evidence by the UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD), which is holding a session on Israel on February 22 and 23 in Geneva.

 On December 11 and 12, 2006, the Iranian regime hosted a conference dedicated to Holocaust denial, called the “International Conference on Review of the Holocaust: Global Vision.” Its intention was to give an international dimension to the false claim that the Holocaust of the Jewish people during the Second World War did not occur, or, at least, to minimize its magnitude. The overall objective was to deny international legitimacy for the existence of the State of Israel.
