"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

the chairman of the House of
Representatives Foreign Affairs
Committee. "When hate speech

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

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