Disgraceful. This month, WJC launched a Holocaust memory billboard campaign through several German cities, showing the faces of survivors marking 80 years since the liberation of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in 1945. In just one week, billboards were defaced, attacking…

It's been roughly six month since the last hostages were freed from Gaza in the deal of January-February 2025. 50 hostages remain there, with over 20 of them believed to be still alive. They must come home alive. Every last one needs to be returned. Do not forget them.…

Shabbat is here. While we relish this opportunity for rest, there are many people who cannot enjoy the tranquillity of Shabbat, among them the hostages and the hostage families. We keep them in our minds. Shabbat Shalom.
The @Columbia funding freeze sent a powerful message, but it’s only the beginning. As WJC American Section Chair J. Philip Rosen (@fragilephil1) warns, Columbia’s response must go beyond headlines and deliver real accountability. algemeiner.com/2025/07/25/wha…
The WJC is alarmed by @EmmanuelMacron announcement to recognize a Palestinian State. President Macron’s unilateral decision pushes peace between Israelis and Palestinians even further out of reach while rewarding the brutal terrorism of Hamas. When Israel has a true partner for…
The Brazilian government announced on July 23 that it will officially join the case at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), accusing Israel of genocide. The case was opened by South Africa in 2023. By doing so, Brazilian foreign policy has abandoned its tradition of balance…
We welcome @JanosBoka_HU’s clear stance: there is no place for antisemitic hate speech or glorification of terrorism at @szigetofficial or anywhere else. We call on the festival organizers to reconsider hosting Kneecap, a group with a documented record of antisemitism and…

Important statement from the representative body of the French Jewish community @Le_CRIF 👇 France's announcement of their plans to recognize a Palestinian state in September - without preconditions - constitutes a moral failing and a political danger. Three months ago,…
L'annonce de la reconnaissance d'un Etat palestinien en septembre sans conditions préalables est une faute morale, une erreur diplomatique et un danger politique. Il y a 3 mois, le Président de la République annonçait envisager de reconnaître un Etat palestinien, sous conditions…
We welcome Costa Rica’s decision to adopt the IHRA Working Definition of Antisemitism, a vital step in the global fight against Jew-hatred. At the @UN_HRC session in June, the President of Costa Rica’s Jewish community spoke on behalf of the WJC, urging this step. We commend…

It's been 31 years since the July 1994 bombing of the AMIA Jewish community building in Buenos Aires, Argentina, by Hezbollah agents, which killed 85 people. 31 years later, the survivors and family members of the victims are still heartbroken and traumatized. 31 years later,…
We welcome the ongoing efforts of the U.S. administration to address and rectify the unfortunate, long-standing bias against Israel within the @UN system. The United States's decision to withdraw from @UNESCO is consistent with its stated goals. Since our founding in 1936, the…
