The Malta Independent reports:
Speaker of the House Anglu Farrugia today had a courtesy visit from John Mann MP, Chair of the UK’s All Party Parliamentary Group against Anti-Semitism and of the Steering Committee of the Inter-Parliamentary Coalition for Combating Anti-Semitism.
The two sides discussed how anti-Semitism should be combated.
Dr Farrugia highlighted that no case was ever reported to have occurred in Malta related to anti-Semitism.
I was intrigued by the idea of a country with no antisemitism. So I Googled around. Malta does not have a lot of antisemitism, but it's not antisemitism-free. A few years ago a teenager set up an antisemitic Facebook page. Additionally, Malta is a Catholic country, and Catholic antisemitism, blaming Jews for the death of Christ, is alive and well on the island.
