WJC Welcomes EU Council Plan to Combat Antisemitism

‘We must never be passive or negligent in the fight against antisemitism or any other form of bigotry,’ says Amb. Ronald S. Lauder

The World Jewish Congress applauds the Council of the European Union’s adoption today of measures to combat racism and antisemitism. The declaration makes the fight against antisemitism a priority of Europe’s executive branch. France, which holds the presidency of the Council until June 2022, announced the measures, known as “conclusions.”

WJC has worked closely with European governments at all levels, as well as Jewish communities across Europe, to codify measures to fight the hatred of Jews.

“The just-released conclusions demonstrate that France and the entire leadership of the European Union recognize the danger that antisemitism poses to the Jewish people and society at large,” said WJC President Ronald S. Lauder. “We must never be passive or negligent in combating antisemitism or any other form of bigotry.”
