Of course there is antisemitism, but aside from the fact that many of the traditionally antisemitic forces of the Third Reich lineage are now backing Israel (the BNP being an obvious case in point), Furedi's characterisation is based on extrapolisation from flimsy hearsay. Some of these stories may contain a kernel of accuracy, but that is hardly the basis for lambasting the whole bloody movement in the fashion that Furedi does.
