Report on Global Anti-Semitism

January 5, 2005 Executive Summary I.  Anti-SemitismAnti-Semitism has plagued the world for centuries. Taken to its most far-reaching and violent extreme, the Holocaust, anti-Semitism resulted in the deaths of millions of Jews and the suffering of countless others. Subtler, less vile forms of anti-Semitism have disrupted lives, decimated religious communities, created social and political cleavages, and complicated relations between countries as well as the work of international organizations. For an increasingly interdependent world, anti-Semitism is an intolerable burden. The increasing frequency and severity of anti-Semitic incidents since the start of the 21st century, particularly in Europe, has compelled the international com ... [Read More]

Interview by Cincinnati Enquirer Editorial Board

A year or so later, though, the President saw that the Global Health Fund was up and running, not as fast as it could be, and he elected to bilaterally, in addition to the Global Health Fund, in addition to what we already were doing with HIV/AIDS in a number of places, he wanted to ratchet up our effort with an emergency effort. And so, in addition to what we were doing, he added a bunch more money to take it up to $15 billion and he directed it against the challenge of educating and training people to protect themselves, the procurement and use of anti-retroviral and other drugs to prolong and save life, education programs so that people are taught not to stigmatize those with HIV/AIDS so they can continue to be productive citizens in their society.

That's what we're working on; so far, so good. But these were setbacks to the cause of non-proliferation. We were very honest and clear on that, and now we're working to try to make sure the signal is not sent to the rest of the world that testing is a good idea. ... [Read More]
