EJC Pres. Dr. Moshe Kantor: “Jewish life is once again under threat in Europe … It has become so bad that the overwhelming majority of Jews in Europe no longer feel safe.”

“We call on the authorities to take all necessary measures to protect the Jewish community, including taking a tougher line against those that threaten it like neo-Nazis.”

"Almost half are considering emigrating and will not display signs of their Jewish background."

”We remain deeply concerned that anti-Semitism and the attacks on religious rights are used and abused for political gain."

"We must never be complacent about the threat our communities face," said the EJC, warning of a "Europeanization" of anti-Semitism in the U.S.

Bendrer, 30, was found guilty of being an accomplice to the attack because he supplied the weapons Nemmouche used.

“Anti-Zionists never claim that any other nation on earth, apart from the Jewish State, should be dismantled or is illegitimate."

“If our leaders are serious about combating anti-Semitism then . . . the battle against hate and intolerance needs to take place in the political, educational, legal, law enforcement, judicial and diplomatic arenas.”

“This report should be seen by leaders in Europe as a final warning that words are not enough, and now is a time for action.”

“There is absolutely no excuse for using such vile anti-Semitic imagery, which has a long and sordid past.”

"We must never be complacent about the threat our communities face.”

“Much more needs to be done by the leadership to rebuild Labour’s credibility as an anti-racist party and to reassure British Jews that the party makes no exceptions for antisemitism in any form."

"If the European leadership wants to be seen as an honest broker in the peace process and standing against anti-Semitism then it must do more than merely condemn these remarks."

“People marching in the streets of European capitals shouting ‘Death to the Jews’ has led to the actual death of Jews, and will continue if Europe does not react.”

“Anti-Semitism is not only a Jewish problem, it concerns all European citizens. Extremist ideologies start by threatening Jews, but are in fact a challenge to society as a whole."

“The FPÖ has a long history of anti-Semitism and xenophobia and we are concerned about the fact that they will control government ministries in the new Austrian Government.”

'The Jewish community stands "shoulder to shoulder" with the French government and people in its battle against extremism and terrorism.'

"We strongly urge Mr. Kurz to form a coalition of centrist parties and not be beholden to a party of the far-right in his new coalition government."

EJC: “We trust that centrist parties in the Bundestag will ensure the AfD has no representation in the coming governing coalition."

“We appreciate the important words of the French Government... However, it doesn’t appear that much has changed on the ground for French Jews, who are still regularly attacked."

The EJC is specifically raising a red flag about the deteriorating relationship between Poland's government and the Jewish community.

“We must first understand clearly that we are at war to protect our values and freedoms.”

“London Bridge will not fall,” PM Netanyahu declared. “Together we will vanquish terror.”

The EJC applauded European Parliament's decision to endorse International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of anti-Semitism.

EJA head Rabbi Margolin: “There is no doubt that this is an anti-Jewish decision that is blatantly anti-Semitic."

A proposed UK counter-terrorism law was highly praised by the European Jewish Congress. European leaders are being urged to follow suit.
