Dr. Edy Cohen, an Israeli researcher and Middle East expert, said that when Israeli officials use the phrase 'Jewish terror,' it constitutes antisemitism, asserting that there is no such thing as Jewish terror. His remarks were reported on Sunday.
Dr. Edy Cohen, a researcher at the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies (BESA) and a prominent analyst of Middle Eastern affairs, stated on Sunday that the use of the term 'Jewish terror' by Israeli officials is inherently antisemitic.
