A/HRC/44/58 ideology of seeking to fight a so-called white genocide driven by the idea that white people were being systematically replaced by non-white immigration, and that, in part, Jews were behind the plot against white people. The Government pointed out that Europe had seen a drastic increase in antisemitic incidents since 2010, while the violent crime rate in the region had also risen, evidencing a strong correlation between the two. 12. The Government noted that there were distinctive characteristics of antisemitism, despite the aforementioned commonality between antisemitism and other forms of racism. Contrary to other forms of racism, antisemitism could be found across the ideological spectrum, uniting radicals from different political groups – mainly from radical Islam, the far right and the extreme left. The alliance of diverse groups propagating antisemitism – groups that were otherwise fundamentally opposed to one another – intersected and converged against Jews and/or Israel. Such convergence was exemplified in the trends of racism in France and Germany. According to the Government, antisemitism and antiMuslim incidents had a weak correlation in a country such as in France, where the main source of terrorism was radical Islamism. On the contrary, all forms of racism had a strong correlation in Germany, where the radicalized far-right group targeted all minorities. 13. The Government highlighted that it was vital to assess the common but differentiated phenomena in the manifestation of various forms of racism. It urged States Members of the United Nations to take stock of the similarities and differences to address the manifestations of intolerance and hatred of all kinds. 14. The Government had taken measures to monitor online antisemitism. It referred to the Antisemitism Cyber Monitoring System developed by the Ministry of Diaspora Affairs. The System was used to monitor antisemitic posts on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube in Arabic, English, French and German. It served as the basis for various antisemitism-related projects by quantifying, classifying and analysing online antisemitic discourse. 15. Israel reported on the legislative framework that it had established to combat discrimination. The framework included amendment No. 137 to the Penal Law, 5737-1977, which set out racial motivation or hostility towards the public as an aggravating circumstance in the offence of murder, thereby justifying mandatory life imprisonment. Racist remarks or expressions were prohibited during sports events. 4 It was unlawful to provide a public service or product, or operate a public establishment, in a manner that delayed the provision of such public service or product on the grounds of race, religion or religious affiliation, nationality or country of origin, among others, while providing it without delay to persons not related to that group.5 Italy 16. The Government of Italy stated that it was committed to raising public awareness about racism and related intolerance through educational programmes and cultural initiatives. Through Law No. 211 of 20 July 2000, it had established the Holocaust Memorial Day, which provided for the commemoration of the Jewish citizens and other Italians who had been persecuted, deported, imprisoned or executed, as well as those who had protected the persecuted. Students and young people were the critical targets of the educational programmes the Government implemented in promoting the remembrance. The Government referred to public events targeting young people that it had convened to educate them about the Holocaust. 17. The Government reported on its efforts to strengthen the capacity of its law enforcement officials to prevent and combat all forms of discrimination. The Observatory for Security against Acts of Discrimination had developed for law enforcement an online 4 5 Prohibition of Violence in Sports Law, 5768-2008.
