“Hate speech cannot be accepted, not against Jews, not against gypsies, gays or the disabled,” says Luxembourg Prime Minister Xavier Bettel, after signing a landmark agreement to compensate his country’s Holocaust survivors.

Following an agreement signed on Wednesday by the government of Luxembourg to compensate Holocaust survivors, return looted art and restitute dormant bank accounts, Prime Minister Zavier Bettel told
Israel Hayom that the fight against anti-Semitism is not over.
“It wouldn’t be right to say that Luxembourg is protected against anti-Semitism and racism now,” he said in the wake of the deal, which was also signed by the World Jewish Restitution Organization, the Jewish community of Luxembourg and the Luxembourg Foundation for the Memory of the Shoah.
