WASHINGTON, DC / ACCESSWIRE / October 17, 2018 / The MEMRI Lantos Antisemitism Documentation Project was launched in 2009 with the Lantos Foundation to expose antisemitism in the Arab and Muslim world and to inform policies, strategies, and legislative initiatives to counter antisemitism.
On October 12, 2018, the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) released new content from the Lantos Project; this content was sent to MEMRI email subscribers. MEMRI's extensive audience relies on MEMRI to provide primary sources on antisemitism in the Arab and Muslim world.
The Lantos Antisemitism Documentation Project documents antisemitic themes in Arabic, Farsi, Urdu-Pashtu, and Turkish newspaper reports, editorials, and other media sources. This project maintains the Lantos Antisemitism and Holocaust Denial Archives, which is the largest archive in the world of translated antisemitic content from the Middle East from the past decade.
MEMRI's objective in highlighting the work of the Lantos Project is to bring the issue of antisemitism to media, to present evidence so that legal countermeasures can be taken, and to inform policy makers in order to provide the informational infrastructure for policies, strategies and legislative initiatives to counter antisemitism. It also seeks to enhance academic research of antisemitism.
The Lantos Project distributes all its content - reports, analysis, and videos - through a blog and all its videos through the Lantos MEMRI TV page. The Lantos Project YouTube page includes videos from annual events held in the Speaker's Dining Room of the U.S. Capitol marking the establishment of the Lantos Antisemitism and Holocaust Denial Archives.
No other organization does this vital work; all major organizations that focus on antisemitism depend upon the research from this project.
The new content from the Lantos Project included a report and two clips, which are listed here:
