(ANSA) - Strasbourg, July 9 - Anti-Semitism, Islamophobia,
and racial hatred "rose dramatically" in Europe during the
course of 2014, according to the annual report from the European
Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI), a monitoring
body of the Council of Europe (CoE).
"Insults and attacks against Jewish people and places,"
ECRI said, "have greatly increased and have more than doubled in
some countries" because of Middle East events.
There are "growing anti-Semitic tendencies in Muslim
communities, in particular among young people," ECRI said.
