EU expected to back UN resolution condemning anti-Semitism.

European Union ambassadors to the United Nations met and considered backing a proposed Irish-sponsored resolution condemning anti-Semitism. If passed, it would mark the first ime EU nations back a UN resolution pertaining to anti-Semitism. Ireland annually submits a resolution condemning religious intolerance through the UN Human Rights Committee. This year, following the terror attack on two Istanbul synagogues Ireland agreed to draft a new resolution pertaining solely to anti-Semitism. Israeli foreign Minister Silvan Shalom, during his recent visit to Brussels, lobbied for the addition of the anti-Semitism condemnation clause to the resolution after the Istanbul attacks. Israeli diplomats at the UN have also lobbied for the addition of such a clause.
