BRUSSELS, June 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Our fight against antisemitism is more urgent than ever, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen told thousands participating in the 2021 American Jewish Committee (AJC) Virtual Global Forum. The commission, she announced today, will adopt later this year the first-ever EU strategy on combating antisemitism and fostering Jewish life.
Surging, violent attacks on Jews in Europe and the United States are a stark reminder of how dangerous antisemitism is for our societies. It is a poison for our democratic values and an attack on our way of life, she said. We must fight it together, and we have to eradicate it.
