Europe dismisses claims of anti-semitism: "The European Commission's president [Romano Prodi] has dismissed claims by Jewish leaders and top US officials that 1930s-style anti-Semitism has returned to Europe."

"'The Europe of today is not the Europe of the 1930s and 1940s. Let us be honest and keep things in perspective,' he said. 'We have no right to insult the memory of the Shoah's millions of victims by putting their sufferings on a par with today's manifestations, as serious as they are.'"
