"Social media should be a place for constructive and respectful debate. It should not be a place for personal attacks against individuals, be it private or public figures," the spokesperson told reporters in Brussels. "Anti-Semitism has no place in the European Union...It presents a threat not only to Jewish communities but to an open and diverse society."
