Sigh, I'll assume I don't have to give you anti-semetic referances from the mid-east at least? If so just read a speach by the Iranian president, or any number of other leaders around there.
For the UN:

The UN's 1975 resolution equating Zionism — the national liberation movement of the Jewish people — to racism was only the most notorious illustration of its anti-Jewish bias. The measure was repealed in 1991, but the UN continues to anathematize the world's only Jewish state.
The UN's 2001 Durban conference on racism and xenophobia, for example, turned into an anti-Semitic bacchanal. At times, the venom has sunk to medieval lows. "In presentations to the UN Commission on Human Rights," Bayefsky wrote, Arab delegates have trafficked in blood libels, "accusing the Israelis of . . . needing to kill Arabs for the proper observance of Yom Kippur and of injecting Palestinian children with HIV-positive blood."

UN bias against Israel is overt in bodies such as the General Assembly, which each year passes some nineteen resolutions against Israel and none against most other member states, including the world's most repressive regimes. The World Health Organization, meeting at its annual assembly in Geneva in 2005, passed but one resolution against a specific country: Israel was charged with violating Palestinian rights to health. Similarly, the International Labour Organization, at its annual 2005 conference in Geneva, carried only one major country-specific report on its annual agenda -- a lengthy document charging Israel with violating the rights of Palestinian workers.

Anti-Semitism in Europe
The data indicates that nearly a third of European respondents, 30 percent, harbor some traditional anti-Jewish views.
As part of the survey, respondents were asked to decide whether or not they felt that certain traditional anti-Semitic stereotypes (the four statements listed on the following page) were “probably true” or “probably false.”
A plurality of Europeans, 45 percent, responded that it is “probably true” to characterize Jews as being more loyal to Israel than to their own country.
30 percent of the respondents believe that Jews have too much power in the business world.
19 percent believe that Jews do not care what happens to anyone but their own kind.
16 percent say that Jews are more willing than others to use shady practices to get what they want.
Among those in the five countries surveyed, Belgian, German, and French respondents are the most likely to hold a prejudiced view of Jews while British and Danish respondents are the least likely.

In April alone, 400 acts of violence took place against Jews, compared to 200 for all of 2001. "Jews and Jewish interests are being attacked because they are Jewish. That much is clear," says a French justice official. "But once you face that terrible fact, you have to start asking yourself: Why them?

Until Europe undergoes a similar rapprochement between democratic values and Christian virtues, it's hard to see how anti-Semitism will be defeated. "Not since Kristallnacht, the Nazi-led pogrom against German Jews in 1938," writes Mark Strauss, editor of Foreign Policy, "have so many European synagogues and Jewish schools been desecrated." If anti-Semitism is, at its core, a sickness of the soul, then deep cultural changes — including spiritual renewal — would seem to be required.
