At First Public Event, New US Antisemitism Special Envoy Speaks of ‘Ubiquitous’ Nature of Rising Global Jew-Hatred

In her first public event as U.S. Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism, Ambassador Deborah E. Lipstadt delivered an address last Thursday at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C.

In her remarks, Ambassador Lipstadt spoke about the rise worldwide of antisemitism, violent extremism, and Holocaust distortion and denial.

“We must acknowledge,” she said, “that antisemitism does not come from one end of the political spectrum. It is ubiquitous and is espoused by people who agree on nothing else or, better put, disagree on everything else.”
