The #antisemitic tsunami we have seen since 7 Oct threatens Jews across the globe. It goes against everything the EU stands for. It endangers our society, democracy & security. It is with great humility that in times like these I accepted the Honorary Doctorate from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev๐
๐ง๐ชBelgium Jewish youth movements show us that #JewishLife continues to thrive, despite the difficult times and rise of antisemitism.
Lag Baomer was celebrated through sport competition with over 1000 Jewish youth.
Congratulations to all for participating !
Thanks to Aurore Bergรฉ for her clear words. Fruitful discussion with Israeli and EU-based experts about the effect of 7/10 on #Jewish communities, #democracy and #security in Europe, effective education tools and addressing #radicalisation and dangerous content online.
Today with ืืฉืจืื ืโืฅ Israel Katz I opened the 15th EU-Israel seminar against racism, xenophobia and antisemitism. EU Ministers and Ambassadors present.
Antisemitism goes against our model of society. We are well equipped to fight it.
In the Middle East now is the time for diplomacy.
Putting the #No2Antisemitism EU strategy into action - discussing with EU and US colleague alongside Sirpa Rautio how to address challenges for Jews & democracy since the Oct 7 Hamas attack. ๐ to our host Karoline Edtstadler for your leadership in the fight against #antisemitism .
On #YomHaShoah #WeRemember the victims of the #Shoah & honor their lives.

Faced with a tsunami of #antisemitism we stand with #JewishCommunity & recommit to fight it.
I condemn the arson attack on the Noลผyk Synagogue & against the Jewish community in Poland. The tsunami of antisemitism that we have seen in Europe since 7 Oct is dangerous and a threat to Jews above all, but also to all those who cherish democracy and its values. #FullSolidarity
As you gather around the Seder table may you draw strength from the story of liberation of the Israelites from slavery & hope that those still in captivity will soon fill the #emptychairs at your table.

Thank you for the invitation Federica Mogherini to engage with students and staff College of Europe. We talked about Jewish life, antisemitism and how to overcome polarisation in European society while keeping an open debate.

We are delighted to receive Katharina von Schnurbein Katharina von Schnurbein, European Commission coordinator on combatting antisemitism and fostering Jewish life, and Alina Bricman, former president of EUJS - European Union of Jewish Students, to engage with our students today.
To fight #antisemitism you have to make it visible. Through monitoring & recording antisemitic hate crime, but also the toxic lawful but awful daily incidents, ENMA will do just that.
Pleased to launch this EU action yesterday in Berlin.

Joining European Parliament #LIBE workshop on equality today to present the #EUAntisemitismStrategy that lead to national strategies and actions and the use of @theIhra definition.
โผ๏ธ Fighting antisemitism is not a responsibility for the Jews, but for all who cherish democracyโผ๏ธ
Listening to first hand experiences of #antisemitism on campuses & threats/attacks on Jewish students in the aftermath of 7/10 is extremely concerning.
When Jews do not feel safe, their right to education is hampered. Unacceptable!
Univ leadership must act decisively!
