EJC in the media

“This is a wake-up call, not just for Germany, but for the whole world”. “These figures should ring alarm bells, because we are seeing similar trends across the Western world,” said EJC President Moshe Kantor.

Moshe Kantor, president of the European Jewish Congress, said the German numbers highlight a broader issue. “This is a wake-up call, not just for Germany, but for the whole world,” he said.

Le Congrès juif européen (CJE) a vivement critiqué ce lundi la décision de la Cour de cassation de ne pas traduire en justice le meurtrier de Sarah Halimi, la sexagénaire juive tuée à Paris en 2017, demandant des mesures «pour que ce déni de justice ne se reproduise» pas.

Coronavirus lockdowns shifted some antisemitic hatred online, where conspiracy theories blaming Jews for the pandemic’s medical and economic devastation abounded, researchers said at the release of the report on Antisemitism Worldwide 2020 by the Tel Aviv University’s Kantor Center for the Study of Contemporary European Jewry.

“Anti-Jewish hatred online never stays online,” said Moshe Kantor, President of the European Jewish Congress. “We have to be prepared that antisemitic conspiracy theories could lead to physical attacks on Jews when lockdowns end.”

Moshe Kantor, the initiator of the Kantor Center and president of the European Jewish Congress, warned in a statement that the pandemic may have further ripple effects on anti-Semitism.
