Over 300 Jewish and pro-Israel leaders and legal experts from over 30 countries around the world took part in a forum on 'Defending Israel's Legitimacy' hosted by the Global Coalition for Israel and the Legal Network in Jerusalem onWednesday.

In an interview with i24News, Elan Carr, the US envoy against anti-Semitism and a keynote speaker at the event, spoke of the need to fight what he called the three pillars of anti-Semitism: the hatred of Jews on the far Right, the far Left and in radical Islam.

Carr is working with European leaders and global partners to fight against anti-Semitism while also moving to change educational material in Arab countries.

Addressing the ayatollah regime in Iran, Carr said he hoped to see "a united front against Iranian mischief – the mischief of the Iranian regime I should add, not the Iranian people but this cruel Iranian regime ... a united front against its mischief, its violence, its destabilization and its doctrinal anti-Semitism."

Carr also spoke out against Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's (D-N.Y.) recent remarks in which she compared the detention of migrants into the US to the running of concentration camps.

"It is a staggering insensitivity to what was done to the Jewish people during the Holocaust, and a staggering insensitivity to American virtues and American values," Carr said.

"To even mention the United States in the same sentence as Nazi Germany, or for that matter to compare the state of Israel to Nazi Germany as we see anti-Semites do on a regular basis, is profoundly offensive," he said.
