I served as an Antiaemitism Researcher at the Prime Minister's Office in Tel Aviv. For the last 17 years I have been researching antisemitism. As part of my research work, I ran a website that brought together all the news and antiemitic events that occurred in the world:
CFCA - (The Coordination Forum for Countering Antisemitism)
The site was the world's largest database of antisemitism and was an important element in the fight to eradicate this phenomenon.
As I retire from state jobs, I continue my research work and am currently coordinating the information on a site called Monitoring Antisemitism Worldwide.
