On Monday United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan warned that there was an “alarming resurgence” of anti-Semitism around the world and called for U.N. bodies to address the problem. Annan’s comments came as part of the first U.N.-organized seminar dedicated to anti-Semitism. Annan said “When we seek justice for the Palestinians —- as we must—- let us firmly disavow anyone who tries to use that cause to incite hatred against Jews, in Israel or elsewhere.”
