I was asked to Brussels to address the matter of what the European Union might do to tackle anti-Semitism. The answer is easy: “Stop funding anti-Semites.”
And so it was that I found myself once again in a meeting in the twilight world of Brussels — an ugly city filled with ugly buildings, ugly overpriced food and overpaid officials.
