Speaker: Dr. Charles Asher Small Affiliation: Founder and Executive Director, Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP) Title: "Oxford Union Debate on Holocaust Denial Criminalisation" Location: Oxford University Date: January 28, 2016 Description: Dr. Charles Asher Small explains the various phases of antisemitism throughout history and maintains that contemporary antisemitism attacks notion of Jewish peoplehood. Dr. Small argues that today, Islamist reactionary social movements use European antisemitism and the Protocols of the Elders of Zion to openly call for the extermination of the Jewish people and the destruction of the State of Israel. Dr Small argues that while antisemitism begins with the Jews, it never ends with the Jews, but threatens democratic principles and human rights worldwide.
