There is a resurgence of anti-Semitism in Europe. The policies of the Bush administration and the Sharon administration contribute to that. It's not specifically anti-Semitism, but it does manifest itself in anti-Semitism as well.

Anti-Semitism is extremely common.

I was never concretely aware of the extent of anti-Semitism in the United States and in the upper levels of the State Department.

I myself think anti-Semitism is about envy.

The Italians always know that I'm not Italian.

I have been further enlightened by the conversation and correspondence of some illustrious Italians, whom I would gladly name, were I not afraid of exposing them to danger.

I have always been a fierce fighter against anti-Semitism. I oppose it and always have.

As an Italian-American, I have a special responsibility to be sensitive to ethnic stereotypes.

The Italian culture and values have significantly shaped who I am, and I would never intentionally demean or degrade the very culture that has been so integral to my life.

I have a deep and personal aversion to anti-Semitism regardless of its source, and I reject and condemn the anti-Semitic statements and actions of the Nation of Islam, Louis Farrakhan, and Khalid Muhammed.
