Organization of American States (OAS) Secretary-General Luis Almagro was honored last Thursday for his work countering antisemitism over the past decade at a symposium in Washington, D.C., organized by the Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM) and B’nai B’rith International.
“Antisemitism is the oldest, most coordinated form of racism,” Almagro said after being presented with the CAM Global Leadership Award. “Fighting antisemitism means fighting for democracy and human rights.”
In his speech, Almagro also warned of the global threat posed by Iran, words that proved prescient with the Tehran regime’s missile and drone assault on Israel two days later.
“Antisemitism is present in the Americas, and we have suffered from its attacks,” Almagro said. “Autocratic regimes here have close ties with Iran and its proxies.”
