As antisemitism surges worldwide, Costa Rica’s adoption of @TheIHRA definition is a timely and courageous step. Defining hate is the first step to combating it. A principled move that must inspire others.
Important statement from the representative body of the Jewish community of France @Le_CRIF France’s plan to recognize a Palestinian state in September without preconditions contradicts its own commitments and undermines any chance for lasting peace. 🔴 No hostages have been…
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 commend the strong stance taken by the Hungarian government and Minister @JanosBoka_HU in banning the band Kneecap over their repeated antisemitic hate speech and support for terrorism. Festivals and cultural spaces must be free of antisemitism and incitement to hatred.…
🚫 The members of @KNEECAPCEOL continuously and repeatedly engage in anti-Semitic hate speech that supports terrorism and terrorists. ❗️ Hungary has zero tolerance for all forms of anti-Semitism! ⚠️ The band's performance in front of large audiences in Hungary violates…
We echo the concern expressed by our affiliate, the Federation of Jewish Communities of Spain (@fcjecom), regarding the distressing incident aboard a Vueling flight at València Airport, where a group of French Jewish children was removed, reportedly after singing in Hebrew. As…

We are moved by the powerful response of local citizens in Munich, who formed a human chain to protect a synagogue after anti-Israel protesters disrupted a Shabbat service with hateful chants. Solidarity and moral clarity will prevail over intimidation and hate.

Today, our thoughts are with those who lost their lives in the horrific terrorist attacks in Oslo and on the island of Utøya 14 years ago. We honour the victims and reaffirm our commitment to fight racism, intolerance and hatred in all their forms.
On this day in 1942, the Nazis began the mass deportation of Jews from the Warsaw Ghetto to the Treblinka extermination camp. Over the course of two months, around 265,000 were forcibly removed from their homes and sent to their deaths. Never forget. Never again.
We do not forget the 50 hostages still held captive by the terrorist organization Hamas. We reiterate our unwavering demand for their immediate and unconditional release. They must be brought home. Now. #BringThemHomeNow
We strongly condemn the unfounded and unlawful questioning of two Israeli citizens at the Tomorrowland festival. The complaint that led to their questioning was initiated by an organisation linked to an individual known for his open support of Hezbollah and Hamas, and who has a…
A disturbing installation in Umeå, Sweden—featuring skeletons in Holocaust uniforms hanging execution-style under the banner “a genocide is a genocide”—crossed every moral and historical line. Using Holocaust imagery to target Jews today is not “critique.” It is antisemitism,…

31 years have passed since a devastating terrorist attack struck the AMIA Jewish community center in Buenos Aires, Argentina. We stand in solidarity with the families who lost their loved ones and join them in their mission to seek justice.
The calls for the resignation of Katharina von Schnurbein as the European Commission Coordinator on combating antisemitism and fostering Jewish life are unfounded, disgraceful, and based on false accusations and a misleading narrative. They cause great harm to European Jewish…
