After days of anti-Israel and pro-Hamas demonstrations in European cities across the continents, many of which have descended into violence and have incited hatred against Jews, the European Jewish Congress (EJC) is calling for European governments to use stronger measures against those who break the law.
The EJC leadership has sent a letter to all European Ministers of the Interior calling on them “to ensure that public authorities guarantee the absolute security of our communities, to ban all forms of anti-Semitic and racist incitement, to legally prevent all potentially violent demonstrations taking place in proximity to community institutions and that police resources are prioritised to combat, investigate, prosecute and punish offenders.”
