b'Title: Islamophobia and Antisemitism - A Dangerous Comparison\\n\\nDate: April 4, 2016\\n\\nSpeaker: Melanie Phillips \\n\\nAffiliation: Journalist, author and public commentator\\n\\nConvener: Dr. Charles Asher Small, Founder and Executive Director, Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP) and Dr. Vivaldi Jean-Marie\\n\\nLocation: ISGAP Center \\n\\nDescription: Melanie Phillips speaks about how antisemitism in Britain had been the "prejudice that dare not speak its name." She notes that while other forms of prejudice were widely acknowledged, until recently antisemitism was an outright taboo. It was only recently that antisemitism became more widely discussed, due, in part, to the election of Jeremy Corbyn and others who have made bigoted remarks against Jews, as well as the resignation of a number of individuals from the Oxford University Labor Club over the Club\'s anti-Jewish tendencies.'
