In the article linked below, Frida Ghitis writes perceptively about the upsurge in antisemitism and what it portends for the afflicted societies. Ghitis, who is not Jewish, is a columnist and analyst on world affairs. Previously a long-time correspondent and producer at CNN, she continues to appear occasionally on the network as a commentator. Her writing has been published in numerous important print and online vehicles.
