Published March 2008
The U.S. Department of State provided this report to Congress. The overview states,
"This report focuses on the following three areas:
Forms of Anti-Semitism- , including anti-Semitic incidents, discourse, and trends.
Vehicles for Anti-Semitism- , including national governments, the United Nations system, and societal groups.
Methods for Combating Anti-Semitism- , including actions by governments, international bodies, private groups, and individuals.
While the report describes many measures that foreign governments have adopted to combat anti-Semitism, it does not endorse any such measures that prohibit conduct that would be protected under the U.S. Constitution.
Because the mandate of the U.S. Department of State pertains to foreign countries, this report does not include a review of anti-Semitism within the United States, where anti-Semitism also remains a problem.
This report is not intended to be an exhaustive compendium of all global anti-Semitic incidents. Rather, illustrative examples are used to shed light on the adaptive phenomenon of contemporary anti-Semitism."
