As we remember the victims we must say loudly and clearly: there is no place for hate and extremism in our society.

Rev. Frank Chikane, a South African pastor who serves as international affairs moderator at the World Council of Churches, called Israelis “demons” and implied Europeans support “crimes against humanity” by Israel because of the Holocaust. This amounts, plainly, to #antisemitism.

We condemn Saturday's Neo-Nazi demonstrations in #Madrid.
We join the local Jewish community in calling for an investigation into the #antisemitic demonstration.
The authorities must take action against those involved and work to prevent similar events.
At the event on Saturday, at which attendees carried Nazi symbols, a young woman made a speech proclaiming that “the enemy is always going to be [...] the Jew”
We welcome this year's ban on fascist Lukov March in Sofia, Bulgaria. We are concerned, though, that a smaller, wreath-laying ceremony still proceeded.

We are outraged at the University of California, Irvine student government's passage of a BDS resolution. The resolution’s defamatory accusation of #Israel as an apartheid state is patently anti-Semitic. If UCI says it's committed to welcoming Jewish students, then the university must condemn this measure.
The legislation passed 19 to 3.
Our SVP Rebecca A. Saltzman of B'nai B'rith Colorado spoke virtually with the girls of Hilah BBG chapter, exploring Jewish women in leadership, #Israel, #antisemitism and other important topics facing Jews today.

We deplore the Polish court ruling demanding an apology from two #Holocaust historians. This decision confirms fears that Poland’s 2018 remembrance law would stifle honest inquiry in #Poland’s wartime past.
The ruling against academics Barbara Engelking and Jan Grabowski is the first under Poland’s controversial new libel law, enacted in 2018
Congratulations to Germany's #soccer league, Deutsche Fußball Liga, for adopting the IHRA definition of #antisemitism. A similar step was taken last year by the UK Premier League.
Sports are a crucial arena for tackling hate and more national soccer leagues should follow this positive example.
Appalled to see the Alpha Epsilon Pi house at California Polytechnic State University – San Luis Obispo was vandalized with swastikas and other anti-Semitic graffiti.
We commend Cal Poly President Jeffrey D. Armstrong for swiftly condemning this hate crime and stand with the brothers of AEPi.
#Antisemitism must never be tolerated.
The incident occurred on Shabbat, a day of religious observance in the Jewish community.
While we agree with Secretary of State Blinken that the
United Nations Human Rights Council is “flawed”— to say the least — we urge the U.S., if it is to reengage the body, to insist upon its thorough reform.
The UNHRC has flagrantly discriminated against #Israel since its inception.
The United States said on Monday it would return as an observer to the U.N. Human Rights Council, which it quit under the Trump administration, while seeking reforms of the "flawed body".
In a potential breakthrough against #COVID19, Greece will join a trial to test an Israeli "miracle" treatment. This incredible feat of Israeli innovation gives us hope, while Greece's participation in the trial reinforces the Israel-Greece relationship.

“We would all be very relieved if we could find a drug that could cure the disease itself.”
Great to see Israeli 🇮🇱 PM Benjamin Netanyahu and Greek 🇬🇷 PM Dimitris Mitsotakis meet in Jerusalem to discuss further strengthening ties between the two nations, and formalize a bilateral tourism deal that enables vaccinated tourists to travel freely between Israel and Greece.
Agreement announced during Greek PM's visit to Israel, likely won't be enacted till late next month
The Algemeiner noted our rejection of the #ICC's ruling giving itself the power to investigate #Israel and the Palestinians for supposed "war crimes."
With this decision, the ICC "puts Hamas and Israel on the same playing field, even though Israel’s actions were defensive in the face of Hamas attacks.

As we think about the many accomplishments of George Shultz, we especially recall him as an ardent champion of the free emigration of Soviet Jews.

In a travesty, the International Criminal Court (#ICC) ruled that "Palestine" is a state and that it can probe into supposed "war crimes" by Israel.
This is nothing more than politically motivated, anti-Israel propaganda and once again demonstrates total bias against #Israel in multilateral organizations.

Good news out of Paris: the city has adopted the IHRA definition of #antisemitism.
This is an important step for #France where anti-Semitic incidents have been on the rise.
Criticizing Israel in its essence and existence falls under the definition of antisemitism, it is a new form of antisemitism," Paris' Mayor Anne Hidalgo said.
Our own SVP Rebecca A. Saltzman shares her insights tonight with Hilah BBG on her journey as a female Jewish #leader.
