Multiculturalism has been a matter of policy of many western countries over the last handful of decades. Although there is nothing wrong with bringing people together, this has to be done appropriately. Proponents of multiculturalism point to the benefits, such as bringing new food experiences to a country, while ignoring potential problems. The latter has been behind much of the anti-semitism that exists in the West. Anti-semitism is very strong in some countries and is seen in schools and in the media daily, shaping people’s attitudes. These people do not suddenly shed these beliefs by landing in a Western country. In order not to appear racist, authorities in Western countries have either ignored or themselves taken up the anti-semitism rather than having a strategy to deal with it appropriately, and have become selectively racist. It is time that authorities in Western countries looked at the problem realistically and worked out a strategy to deal with it rather than pandering to it.
