“This unique conference is more than just a debate on the delegitimisation of Israel or the boycott movement. This is not an issue of left or right, or of partisan politics. We are here to discuss the existential issue of the right of the Jewish people to exist in the State of Israel. There is no quick fix for this new form of anti-Semitism, and it is up to the next generation to glean the tools to combat these attacks, for the future of the State of Israel and the future of the Jewish people.” (World Jewish Conference CEO Robert Singer speaking at the 1st UN summit against BDS, 31/05/2016)
