However there is a relative decrease as a result of international pressure (especially in antisemitic TV series) • In the Palestinian Authority incitement in the official media has declined since Abu Mazen came to power, yet it is widespread in the media of the terror organizations

  25. Antisemitism 2005 – notable statistics the numbers presented here represent statistics of incidents which were reported to “The Global Forum Against Antisemitism” These statistics are incomplete but they represent trends and serve as a basis for their analysis www. antisemitism.org.il

  26. Forecast for 2006 • Jews will continue to be a preferred target of Al – Kaeda • Continued firm action by Western Governments against antisemites (paralleled to continued relative calm in the conflict). The relative low level of violent incidents will remain steady • In light of the lack of action by the authorities, the current situation in Russia and Ukraine will intensify the threat on the Jewish communities there • The state of the Israeli – Palestinian / Arab conflict will continue to directly affect the security of Jewish communities and the level of antisemitism • If drastic steps are not taken against centers of antisemitism in the Arab and Muslim world, it will continue to remain a major problematic region
