EUMC pulls report on anti-semitism

According to the Financial Times, the European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia (EUMC) "has shelved a report on anti-semitism because the study concluded Muslims and pro-Palestinian groups were behind many of the incidents it examined."

While this lede is certainly eye-catching, the FT's report doesn't do a good job outlining the story. Many of the details offered are hazy and vague, mostly because of the way the story is sourced. Hopefully things will be clarified in the coming days.

Update: Following the news of the EUMC report and a controversial EU poll, Ariel Sharon has branded Europeans as inherently anti-semitic, equated criticism of Israel with anti-semitism, and warned that "an ever strengthening Muslim presence in Europe...endangers the life of Jewish people” in an interview with EUpolitix.com.

Update II: The EUMC has published the report.
