Jewish Federation Urges EU Action against Rising Anti-Semitic Violence and Hate Speech

Hungary Today 2024.11.14.

Recent anti-Jewish riots in major European cities, such as Amsterdam, Berlin, Bologna, and Milan, have marked what the Federation of Hungarian Jewish Communities (MAZSIHISZ) describes as a historic turning point. The rising violence has put Jewish communities in Western Europe under serious threat, while Hungary remains an exception, with its Jewish community remaining safe.

MAZSIHISZ emphasizes the urgency of the situation. According to Magyar Nemzet‘s article, they are calling for the European Union to take immediate and decisive action to curb the escalating anti-Jewish hate speech and riots. According to their statement, this wave of violence highlights the fragility of what was once considered secure for Jewish communities, drawing attention to the dangerous rhetoric surrounding Israel in Western European media.

The riots and violent protests, which are not solely targeting Jewish communities but also endangering European civilization as a whole, pose an alarming challenge.

MAZSIHISZ stresses that this wave of hatred is a broader societal concern that threatens peace and unity across Europe, affecting all citizens, not just Jews.

In this critical moment, MAZSIHISZ insists that the EU must take the strongest legal and political actions to combat these crimes and the hate speech fueling them. The association remains convinced that stopping this tragic process is still possible through coordinated European action.
