Belgium: Islamophobia, the new antisemitism



The "Muslim Rights Belgium" organization posted this photo on their Facebook page.

The photo says: "Islamophobia: The new Antisemitism.   In the past, there was antisemitism, roiling just below the surface. Now, there is Islamophobia."

This is a quote from Mya Guarnieri, a Tel-Aviv based journalist, who said so in in the Guardian.

It's interesting to compare how she's described by Muslim Rights and how she's described in the Guardian.  While the Guardian portrays her as an international journalist, Muslim Rights focuses only on her Israeli work.  Because if a Jew and an Israeli says that antisemitism is no more, they must know what they're talking about.

The Guardian:
Mya Guarnieri is a Tel Aviv-based journalist and writer. A regular contributor to al-Jazeera English, her work has also appeared in the National (Abu Dubai), the Jerusalem Post, the Huffington Post and numerous other international publications. 
Muslim Rights:
Mya Guarnieri is an independent journalist based in Tel Aviv.  She writes regularly for the Jerusalem Post.  Her articles are published in English, notably on Haaretz and the Jewish Daily Forward.
