Today, for the first time ever, the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) will hold an “Informal meeting on Anti-Semitic Violence Worldwide.” Tomorrow (if not today), there will be just as much anti-Semitic violence as before the meeting. Among the participants are USA, all EU members, Rwanda, Uruguay, Canada and Australia, in addition to Israel.
It is commendable that countries are finally (after years of escalating anti-Semitism) beginning to recognize the social malaise in their midst, but this meeting cannot even count as placebo. It is a declarative act whose effect will wither even before wrap-up time, at 5:40 pm EST.
