Missing voices in combating antisemitism - opinion

Several international conferences have been held addressing the issue of combating antisemitism both in Western countries and Israel. Religiously motivated antisemitism has origins in religious beliefs and antisemitic sentiments in some Islamic communities have increased during the recent war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.

While there have been instances where religious texts have unfortunately been used to incite hate against the Jewish community globally, it is important that religions are thoroughly analysed and discussed in these conferences. 

Religious-based diplomacy is an essential yet often neglected aspect of addressing antisemitism. Many organisations invest millions if not billions of dollars into peace initiatives, yet they fail to end hate, eradicate hateful ideologies, or combat the growing wave of antisemitism against the Jewish people in the West. The failure is not just due to political factors but also to the neglect of the religious roots of these issues.
