"I hope this keeps it on the radar
screen and lets other governments
know that the U.S. sees this as an
important issue that needs to be
taken seriously:' LeGendre said.
The U.S. report, which was sent
to Congress last month, culminates
four years of research launched in
2004 after U.S. lawmakers passed a
bill commissioning such a report.
The process was accelerated in
2006 when President Bush named
Gregg Rickman the first U.S. special
envoy on anti-Semitism.
Jewish groups, including the
Anti-Defamation League and the
American Jewish Committee,
welcomed the report, as did some
members of Congress.
"All too often, legitimate criti-
cism of the State of Israel can veer
into naked anti-Semitism charac-
terized by vile hate speech:' said
U.S. Rep. Howard Berman, D-Calif.,
the chairman of the House of
Representatives Foreign Affairs
Committee. "When hate speech
arises, we should call it what it is

The Charge
The World Health Organization
last week called Israeli restric-
tions for allowing residents of
Gaza into Israel for medical
treatment "inhumane."

treated in Israeli hospitals or
that arrangements are made
for them to be quickly trans-
ported for treatment in Jordan
or Egypt.
